Decision Change
So as I briefly mentioned in my past couple blogs, due to the sunsetting way quicker than we anticipated, our idea had to change. Since we’re a team, Mariana and I decided to review the footage together and see what the best, least drastic change could be. After looking at all the scenes we had shot at the beach, we realized that there was only one portion of the film shot at night. This was the scene that the friends went to walk on the boardwalk after the volleyball game.
Mariana and I decided it would be smartest to cut out a portion that was unnecessary and change it up a bit, so we could still keep our big sequence. In order to change it up, we took out the scene that the friends walk together on the boardwalk and Howie notices Nati falling behind, so he goes by her and they leave the group. Instead, Howie will get Nati’s attention to leave their friends after the volleyball game when she goes to grab water shortly after saying “i’ll be quick”. This would make the film more quickly paced, which I believe was needed. The walking/noticing scene kind of felt like an extended filler. Hopefully the editing skills can make the times of filming on different days look the same and all will come out flowy!
Overall, this day of filming was so incredibly fun we got some emotional clips that I believe were our best acting ones yet. Also, the beach was beautiful, and so were the people. The manager of the restaurant we were filming at even allowed us to completely move the table, brought us out waters, and attended us exceptionally! 10/10 filming day. Our only slight issue was the sun going down, but the restaurant lights could make it look like it’s just the setting change. We’ll see!
