Soo regarding our filming schedule, we've decided to break down our short films production/filming process into two days. Due to the fact that we have so many different cast members and one of our main characters work a lot, two days of pure film that everyone could agree on was the best option. Furthermore, since it's a short film, Mariana and I believe we're advanced enough to dedicate these days to exceptional filming. You may wonder how we broke the days apart and who will be present each day.
To answer that question, decided to break down the filming days by particular sections/scenes of the movie.
MONDAY
Monday is going to be like a "training" prep day for the two main characters, Howie and Nati (me). We decided to do the scene that Howie see's Nati with her new boyfriend, as well as the awkward "I love you" scene that takes place when Nati and Gavin are watching a movie together. In these two scenes, there's not that much, but a good amount of dialogue, in comparison to the rest of the film. There also isn't that much going on in these parts physically. We thought this would be a good day to get a feel of the equipment and film the more "chill" scenes. It also helps the dynamic of the top 3 characters all together.
This portion of filming will not take that long I'd say about two hours maximum. :)
On Monday, we'll also be focusing on our social media platform on instagram, getting some photo and video content of the main characters!
I'M SO EXCITED!!!!!
THURSDAY
Thursday or the second day of filming on the other hand, will be much longer and tedious. This is the day that we'll be filming the entirety of the beach sequence (beginning with group and end with only the two main characters), eating scene, and the party in the last season. Our plan is to get everyone to the beach about two hours before the sun sets (so we have time before the sunset dancing scene). It's also nicer at this time (5:30) because the sun isn't unbearably hot or bright. Our only concern is if the weather gets bad. Recently the weather has not been following the predictions given on the weather apps I have, have been very inaccurate. A rainy day would completely ruin the films tone, which is crucial for these scenes. It also throws off hatching all the actors on the particular do so we're going to hope for the best! Wish us luck!
More about how this day will go, I've created a mini itinerary as an estimate of time
- 5 SHARP everyone arrives
- 5:30 volleyball + group scenes
- 6:15/6:30 food scene
- 7:15/7:30 sunset dance + conflict scene
- TBD time- Get to Marianas for house party
- This scene should take about 30 minutes
- Times may vary depending on fluidity, traffic, and of course, punctuality of our actors. We're hoping to finish by latest 10 p.m..
