Hello everyone! Welcome back to the blog! If you’ve been keeping up, you already know that my group and I are working on a short film about the loss of someone important and the tragedy that follows. Today’s blog marks the first step toward finishing that film. The opening scene kicks off with some drone shots and pan shots of the boat parade before transitioning into a car ride with the female lead. We’re still figuring out who our female lead will be due to scheduling issues, so we decided to film these scenes without any characters for now. The drone shots came out pretty easily—honestly, the hardest part was waiting for the boats to pass by. The car ride scene, though? That was a whole different story. Valentina, Alyssa, and I met up and debated where to film. After some discussion, we agreed that Lighthouse Point would give us the best backdrop. We took Conner's car and headed over. Once we got there, Conner's and I switched seats so I could drive for the scene. Alyssa and Valentina were in charge of capturing over-the-shoulder shots of me, making sure to highlight the road and lights in the background for that cinematic feel. Meanwhile, Conner took side shots of me from the passenger seat, focusing on capturing my face and emotions. Conner also had the tough job of getting roller shots using the gimbal. That didn’t go as smoothly as we hoped. We were driving at about 40 miles per hour, and the wind hitting the gimbal made it super unstable. After a few tries, we decided to push through and use small clips that we’ll edit together later. We’ll revisit this part once we lock down the song for the opening scene. That’s all for today’s blog! Tomorrow, I’ll be updating you on the editing process for these first few shots. Thanks for tuning in—see you tomorrow!
