More filming!

 Hi blog! Sooo we had a few days off from school, so I took that time to get more footage for my trailers!! We filmed the footage where Summer goes up to Alex, and his friends (*click here to see the storyboard*), as well as some more footage for my other trailer.

I would say that we were successful in getting the footage that I was hoping for and I'm pretty happy!

These are the people that helped me film:

Their names in order from left to right are:

 Natalie, Dito (his actual name is Gerardo, but he goes by Dito), Alana, and Ayden.

I will say that this day, I was stressing quite a bit because the people who had originally told me they would help out with filming, backed out the day of and I honestly did not think that I was going to be able to film anymore. Thankfully, my friend Natalie said yes to helping out and even though it was supposed to be a bigger friend group that is sitting together in this scene, I think that it all worked out.

I did ultimately decide not to pursue any animation for Summer's thoughts like I had originally envisioned, because I do not have any prior experience with it and I did not want my first time to be such an important project. Instead, we filmed this scene where the 3 characters are sitting down basically saying what Summer's fears they would say. They are making fun of her, tearing her down, and overall, just being very rude. I wanted this scene to feel different than the other scenes, so I had the actors break the fourth wall and I honestly like how it looks! When editing, I am going to also add some sort of filter or effect that allows the audience to understand that this scene isn't real and it's just Summer's thoughts.

Take #1

This was the first attempt which I honestly like more, the only thing is... unfortunately my sister who was the one recording accidently pressed record to late so the first few words that Dito said are cut off.

Take #2

This one I like a little less but if I can't find a way to fix the other one then I might just go with this one.  There is a tonnnn more footage from this day, but I don't want to show all of it right now so that I can keep it a surprise!! :D

My other trailer is going to be formatted more as an overview of the entire "movie" while the one I was talking about before is almost a teaser to a specific scene but with the length of a normal trailer. In the trailer that is an overview, I am going to use the shots/scenes I got from when we filmed at the beach + on the kayak, some shots that I got when we went to a bowling alley (which I have not yet mentioned so I will add some photos below), as well as some more shots!!
