Filming blog: Setting up

 

        Welcome back! In today's blog, we are finally starting to film. The most important part about the first day was setting up. We had the location booked already, so that stress was over. It took us a while, so we were happy to finally have it done. One of the best parts about filming is the cast. This being a school project, it was a rare opportunity that we got to chose who we wanted to work with. Outside of our group members, we had two other people. Luckily, they are both my close friends. Gleda plays the role of Jade. I thought this would fit because she is almost like real-life Jade. Also, she is LGBT and understands the role. Aitan, our other friend, plays Aiden. We knew they would both be good at helping with the scenes. Aitan was good at helping us focus on the task at hand. All of us being friends, we did get distracted a few times, but nothing too out of hand. We printed out storyboards and scripts for everyone to have. We used Aitan's car as transportation. We set up in a small area, where we knew we wouldn't bother other customers and got to filming!
