Filming Aftermath

Filming Aftermath

    Yesterday we filmed everything we needed for our intro. I think I wrote about this before but we wanted to film everything in one day to minimize inconsistencies. We were able to film everything relatively quick, within 2 hours. With everything we had planned I was expecting it to take more time then it did.

    When we arrived, we organized the props we had each brought and began putting our credits on the snacks. We also started setting up the back of the car to look lived in. Something we saw coming was that we didn't have too many props so when we filmed a full trunk later we had to reuse most of our props. So it didn't look like this we used props that were less memorable. To an attentive eye, you might notice a teleporting jackets or trash.

    One problem we quickly realized is that filming in a car is actually pretty hard. We had to try a couple times to get a shot that wasn't shaky. At one point I sent Stephanie, camera person, flying across the car. Another part of filming in a car that's hard is the angles. When you plan it out, you don't realize that little parts of the car make the shots hard to get. Specifically we had a problem with the head rest of the chair and we couldn't even pull it out.

    All in all, the film process went pretty perfectly, which didn't just happen. It took weeks of dedicated planning. But in the end it was worth is to plan so extensively.
