Oh. My. Goodness.
Today was rough.
Day two of filming did not go as smooth as the first one….
Once again, Mariana and I began our day gaming to get a positive kickstart to our day. It wasn’t until a few moments after where our moods completely shifted. My guy friends who were supposed to play the boys in the film got grounded. One for bad grades, the other for crashing his car. So we needed to find two replacements, and we needed to find them fast. Mariana and I spent about 3 hours trying to find new guys, which wasn’t easy to do. Convincing 2 teenage boys to shoot scenes for a short film at the beach during spring break isn’t quite the hit, it was hard enough to convince my boyfriend. After this very tedious recruitment process, our friends Matthias and Hayden agreed to come.
The girls, on the other hand thank god did not have any issues and were ready for action.
(This was supposed to be a “fake picture” for the girls scene)
ONCE AGAIN I was the designated driver. I had to pick up all the girls which I’m not complaining about but it did take up quite some time. Our plan was to arrive around 5/5:30, however, many of the actors had situational factors which made us arrive at 6. This affected the film as it was supposed to take place during the day so the scenes shared between Howie and Nati would occur during the sunset. This didn’t happen, and the scenes dragged all the way into the night.
The process of filming itself was quite fun. Me and my girl best friends were laughing taking pictures, my boyfriend and I making eye contact, and a the group of friends played volleyball. We even made some friends going in to play volleyball who said they’d love to play with us and be in the film. Although it drew away from the evenness of 3 girls and 3 guys, it all just felt natural and fun so of course we included them. One of them additional players even said he was the president for film club at Western High School, a nearby school to ours. As night was approaching towards the end of our match, the actors started getting a bit annoyed at the longevity the filming process was taking. This was shown in their attitudes and acting. Therefore, Mariana and I started to rush a bit more towards the end and decided it would be best to film the films between Howie and Nati at the beach another day. We really did not want to add an additional day but for orginizational production reasons, and the fact that I had to take everyone home, we agreed it would be the smartest decision to make. We’re a bit nervous about the change of a couple elements but that is something that will be discussed later.
