Filming Blog: The Notification

     We were scheduled to film on Saturday the 22nd. Unfortunately, our main actor was busy on Saturday. Since she was unavailable, we decided to film on Sunday. We need to have footage for others to peer review on Monday the 24th. This worked perfectly for us to be able to have the footage in time. We had many difficulties filming the first scenes. There was a lot of background noise when we needed silence to hear the alarm. We also couldn't control our laughter when we were waiting for the alarm to go off. The main actor had to reshoot several times of her picking up the phone. There's one scene in the movie where the camera is at the ceiling but you can still hear the background noises of the actor getting ready. We filmed it regularly and have the camera pick up the noises from a distance. The audio of our actor getting ready was too mute. We wanted to emphasize the noise because there's nothing shown during that scene. We had an idea to take a voice memo recording of the ambient noise. We were able to film closer to the noises and catch them better. When we had to film outside, there were many cars driving which made us have to record that scene several times. We recorded it for most of the day. As a result, I didn't have enough time to edit our footage together. We also still need to film the kitchen scene.
