Editing...

 It is time to start editing all the clips for the second half of the opening. I am not the most fond of editing, personally, I am just not good at it and find it very tricky. Miranda is a big help in the editing process. After we have rewatched all the shots we took, we had to make our decision for which ones would make it into our opening. It is hard since most clips are very similar of the same shot with slight differences.

After deciding which to include, all the clips were uploaded and inserted in the order they would appear in the film. Since the first scene is being finished filmed next week, we do not have all the clips put in. In the picture below, you will see a portion of the clips and their length in the film, a lot of these shots have two potential clips that will later be compared to decide which works best for the plot and meaning of our film. 

Production Day 2

The actual process of shooting required us breaking an egg. Our first plan was for a vase to break down and shatter. We would have needed to clean the glass from the floor to do so successfully. We may have tripped on it or Miranda's dog might have eaten it if we hadn't thoroughly cleaned everything. Breaking one of the vases wouldn't be the safest choice for filming so we decided to smash a egg.  

The price of eggs is increasing so we were only allowed to break one egg. To get the perfect shot, we filmed one scene from two different angles at the same time. One of the angles is of the egg falling onto the camera lens. That shot might not be used in the final project, but we thought it would be a good idea to include if possible. 

The egg produced the same effect we wanted with the vase, which is that when the new character, Jess, rings the doorbell and arrives, something goes wrong and breaks. This would show how Jess's arrival instantly results in a negative event, creating an eerie or suspicious tone. This relates to the opening scene of our film, which shows Sofia and Luke, the main characters, being stalked or watched by someone, creating the same eerie and suspicious tone.

Production day one!

Today we filmed the second half of the opening to be able to use pictures from this day to incorporate into the board in the first scene, we brought our friend Sophia Moreau along to assist us with lighting and other details because she has more experience in this area from her time in CBTV, Cypress Bay's television class. Filming was a really enjoyable and stress-free process. Our actors were very easy to work with and gave it their all during the process.

The filming process took almost 4 hours, this was because there were times when our actors would laugh, stutter, or forget their lines. Or we could change the direction we filmed to get various shots. All the shots we needed for this half of the opening were able to be filmed and I would say it was a pretty successful filming day.
