Week Five: Filming Begins!

This week began the start of our filming! But, to back up to earlier, Mariah and I met with our mother actresses on Friday at our new favorite coffee shop, Lucky Joe. The three women we met with were very excited about the subject once we went over it with them in person. We had a read through of the script with them and we tweaked some of the dialogue so that it flowed better when read by them. It was a very productive meeting that left us really excited for filming next weekend!

On Saturday, we began filming for our teenager narrative scene. We filmed in front of the Fisher Student Center, as it was a place with circular tables that we really wanted (specifically for our opening shot). Our three teenage actors were nothing but professional, providing us with great performances for our scene. This shoot turned out really well and almost completely smooth except for the fact that we had several people gather for a previously not scheduled ceremony in the area above where we were filming during our last shot. Literally our last shot! But after speaking with them, they got quieter and we were able to finish shooting. We wrapped within our scheduled time, which was really nice for our first scene. Overall, it was a good experience!
