Hello! Welcome back to my blog! Today I will be talking about problems my group faced during creating this film, and our solutions to all these problems.
To start, the first problem we faced during this process was filming. When we were discussing when to film during December, we realized that the time we wanted to film - which was during winter break, was unavailable for us. During winter break, some of the members (including myself) went on vacation, and there was no day we could film without someone missing. I have mentioned before that each group member is vital to filming - with one of us missing, we wouldn't be able to film! Luckily, we were able to find days to film during weekends, and our extras were able to film during these days as well. Another problem we faced was during the first day of filming. On our first day of filming, we spent WAY too much time on one shot, it almost took 20 shots to get the clip of Samantha walking out right. We noticed so many things about the shots - the sound and lighting especially. However, we continued to push through, and we all were very happy with the result!
On the topic of lighting, we had a problem with the amount of people we had helping us film. We had the main characters + the side characters, however we did not realize we should have asked other people to come over and help us hold the camera, or hold the light. We all had to be in the scenes of playing mafia, and there was an overhead shot we had to film. Our solution to this was having Samantha's parents help us out - her dad held the camera for some shots, and her mom held the light. We had Sofia look at the framing and lighting first and make sure it was right, then we had the parents hold it the exact way she described. The last problem we faced was deciding who to get the camera equipment, as the place was very far, and we were all busy. However, we ended up deciding that one of us will go drop it off, and the other will go pick it up. This way, we all have to spend equal time, and each person has to put work in.
Although we faced many problems, which is inevitable during filming, we managed to find a solution every time.
