Today was the first day Amani and I met up to film. This is was a bit disappointing but also really fun. Our main issue was that we didn’t check the weather before meeting up, so it down-poured on us. We were set and ready to starting filming our lake shots when the next thing we knew, we were drenched. We ran home and managed to save the camera from getting wet.
In order to make use of our meet-up, we filmed our beginning scenes that took place inside the protagonists home. This allowed us to get used to the camera and scope out any shot options. A second issue arose when the lightning was too dull. Luckily, my dad had a bright light stick that we were able to use to give us decent lightning. We were able to get the beginning all filmed and ready for editing which was great!
In order to capture all of our endeavors, we started to create a small vlog which we will use to document our progress each time we meet-up. This vlog will be informal and show a bit of our personalities.
The last thing did was submit a license quote request for the song we are thinking of using in our opening scene. We believe we want to use the song “Happiness is a butterfly” by Lana Del Rey, since this song was our main inspiration. First, I had to research Lana Del Rey’s label company which was Interscope Records. Then, I located the license quote form and filled it out. Hopefully they answer back soon so we have our definite answer.
Overall, I’m glad with the progress we made so far. We are planning to meet up again during the week in order to finish filming our lake scenes, and this time we will be sure to check the weather!
