Production Blog: Filming Part 3

 After the gift opening scene the doorbell ring and the next scene is the friends looking at the camera. I had a perfume box that was decorated, so we put the note in there to put it outside.  Earlier before we stared filming i put the box outside and someone moved it.  I went outside to look for the box and I couldn’t find it. I asked everybody if they moved it and where did they put it. Since nobody couldn’t tell me where the box was I had to check the camera. I’m glad the camera recorded who did it. I had to scroll about an hour back to see Felisha moved it into the bushes so it wouldn’t be seen in the first scene. Once we had the box in place everyone gathered around the google Home Screen and said their lines. Nobody practiced their lines except for Christel so there was a little improvising to save time. This was a fairly simple scene and it only took us two tries to get it right.

The next scene i used a tracking shot to show Christel picking up the box. The next scene is Christel walking back and showing the group the box and reading the note.  This also included one of the most crucial parts which was Kieron seeing Christel’s sister. I recorded this a few times with different angles to see which one will fit the best. I recorded a few extra scenes of the box on the ground and Christel in the sliding door. I’m not sure if i will use these scene yet but i believe they might add to the film.

The last and final scene we filmed was the argument with Kieron and the group about what he saw. This scene took the longest and had the most retakes. They tried switching up the original script which didn’t work and Kieron would laugh during his lines. By this tie its about 10:30 and everyone’s parents are asking were they are. Once we successfully filmed the final scene we were able to wrap everything up and clean any mess we made.
