To be honest, filming was enjoyable and fairly simple. Ludji and I spent the weekend at Mai'Lyia's house so we could shoot. It was easy but challenging at the same time as we were filming. Being videotaped can be uncomfortable at times, but also funny. To get an outstanding video, we had to reshoot a lot of the scenes. We spent almost three hours filming the video which felt like a longer time. Many times, background noise or someone laughing would cause the scenes to sound off, so we would have to start over. We shot in a variety of locations across Mai'lyia's house. We filmed in, the living room, kitchen, back of the home, her room, her sister's room, and her brother's room. The laundry room and dryer in the back of the house served as the primary location or scene for the video. To add even more of an unsettling atmosphere, recordings were made at the back. We also waited to film till it was darker because we needed some darkness during the filming. Ludji wa...
We got two people to critique our blog. They had nothing negative to say and thought that it was really good. Our filming journey has been a rollercoaster of creativity. We included collaboration with my groupmates. We had many unexpected challenges. As a team, we navigated the process of bringing our vision to life on screen. We faced the hurdles of many ideas. We worked hard even if we couldn't meet in person. We had unique circumstance of virtual editing over FaceTime. The title sequence and opening shot became focal points of our film, and despite settling on a font, last-minute considerations made us think that we needed to refilm. Choosing her house as a backdrop was a positive choice. It had the bet space we needed and the items tht we needed. Crucial film details made a sense of personal touch but also led to a realization about the nature of the project. Unearthing the requirement to create a true opening sequence, added a layer of frustration but sparked innovative proble...
Regarding re-filming our opening sequence, we didn't do a lot of it. We did consider re-filming once we quickly realized that we had made a small mistake. But with February almost over, we reasoned that we wouldn't have enough time to even reshoot. A few segments of our opening sequence were re-filmed. For example, re-filming the scenario if there was background noise or if someone laughed. We had to re-film a scene once since we decided not to use my camera after all. The quality of the camera was excellent, and it seemed like the greatest option for use. But my camera was almost out of battery. So, we had to reshoot the scene in which Ludji is speaking to me on the phone. The exterior of her house is probably where we would re-film if we had to. It was still fairly light outside when she took this video of my house. This movie is set in what feels like an evening or dusk. Presenting the house in its brightest light could potentially confuse viewers. Maybe they'll reali...
