The Second Filming Day


      We rescheduled to refilm on Sunday, January 4th. We had to shoot many of our scenes so we decided to start early at 11. We waited for our crew to show up but decided to film the beginning of the film in the meantime. For the beginning of the film, we mainly needed our female for those scenes. We planned to film in the same area so it would be easier and so we can see the footage and see if we need to refilm. We filmed our main actor in bed with her alarm going off then going to look for clothes. We had to shoot this several times because the alarm time was off or a wardrobe malfunction happened. After that, two of the other main actors showed up. We filmed the phone call scene individually but since all of our actors were there, it was difficult to have a continuous shot with disruptions. We refilmed which lines were necessary or last said to save on time. After we shot the phone calls, all of our actors have arrived. The only scene we needed with all of our actors was the sidewalk scene. This was also difficult to shoot since many cars and planes would be around and picked up on the audio. We also filmed this several times, picking up from the lines we left off on to manage our time. Lastly, we needed to film the pool scene. Since we only needed the original 3 actors from the phone call scene in the pool scene, we had our other actors stay away to not risk disturbing the audio. This was slightly easier to film since it was in a secluded area. We decided to film several times in case we needed extra time on footage or if there were any mistakes in the original shot. We revised all of our shots to see if we needed to reshoot any more. Luckily we didn’t need to and decided to celebrate with snacks and cake with our crew! However, we still have one final scene to film which is the Dairy Queen scene. We’re planning to do it on a school day since most of our actors are back to school in person and there's a Dairy Queen next to the school which will be easier for attendance purposes.
