Filming Day 1 (FOR REAL!)

 The day finally came!! It is two weeks later than originally planned but like they say, it is better late than never. Rather than spoiling too much of our film, I took some funny behind-the-scenes pictures of some failures and successes we encountered as we filmed. 

    We wanted to film from two angles but make sure we avoided continuity errors so Paulina hid behind a tree and filmed and we may have looked ridiculous - but it worked. Believe it or not, she is actually standing in the same spot in both of those pictures. 

    Daniela's dog,  Max, was looking for his big break. In every scene we filmed, he was there. The only way he would ever move was for a bribe - a banana. While filming, we managed to go through two bananas and filmed with a dog next to us for a majority of the scenes. We even had to refilm a scene because Max's tail was in the bottom wagging back and forth. Above is a video of us feeding Max a banana except I had to speed it up because the file was too large and that messed up the sound but it is okay. 

    In Danny's room, there was a sign that we could not take down that said in neon pink letters "Danny". So, we decided that Berkley's full name will be Berkley Daniela "Danny" Morgan. Now, Danny can be her nickname and we avoid the issue of a new name. 

    We also did not have any filming supplies besides our phones. We thought we had tripods at home from previous projects but they were nowhere to be found and we were going to borrow a stabilizer but we forgot to ask so we ended up attempting to make our own tripod. We used an old paper towel roll and scissors and followed a YouTube tutorial. It ended up being a massive fail and we relied on handheld shots. Overall, the handheld shots gave us a more realistic and relatable feel so it did work out in the end. We are very pleased with how our footage came out and we learned a lot of important lessons. Thanks for reading and I will update you all soon!!
