Hello everyone! Welcome back to the blog! And happy 17th birthday to me! After all the scheduling problems and planning stuff, we FINALLY started filming with our female lead, Olivia. Our first scenes with her focused on the car ride sequences that we needed to get right. Since we already filmed some background shots earlier, we had to figure out how to fit her performance into what we already had. The car ride is like super important for setting up the whole mood of the film, so we were really careful about how we framed everything. Olivia played her part perfectly, bringing this quiet tension that was exactly what we needed for these early scenes. Filming in a moving car is seriously never easy, but we managed to make it work somehow. We got these awesome close-ups of Olivia staring out the window that showed her emotions without needing any dialogue. The over-the-shoulder shots from the backseat helped show her perspective while driving through the city, which gave this cool sense of her being isolated and deep in thought. We also took some profile shots from the passenger side to highlight her expressions while the streetlights made these dramatic shadows across her face. It looked so cinematic! Lighting was probably the biggest challenge for these scenes. Some shots came out way darker than we expected, but after messing with the camera settings and trying different angles, we fixed most of the problems. We'll enhance some of the lighting in post-production to bring out more details anyway. After finishing the car scenes, we moved to the rooftop scene, which is honestly one of the most visually cool moments in our whole film. We found this perfect rooftop with an amazing cityscape backdrop! One thing we didn't expect was how windy it would be up there. The gusts were way stronger than we thought, which made getting clean audio super difficult. Despite that annoying problem, the visuals turned out absolutely beautiful. Tomorrow, we're planning to go through all the footage and start putting together the scenes we've shot so far. We'll also talk about any reshoots we might need and get ready for the next round of filming. As always, I'll keep you guys updated on everything! Thanks for following our journey, and I can't wait to share more soon! See you in the next blog!
