Filming

Today we finally started filming. All i have to say is i certainly have a new found sense of respect for directors and actors. It was one of the hardest things i have ever done. Especially since people were not listening and getting restless. Filming in the Florida heat wearing a sweater was also extremely hard haha. My group and I did find it very hard to get our actors to listen . Since they felt that they had the freedom of not going to class that the rules did not still apply. They were rude and relentless but we got throught it. We got multiple shots and I am very proud.

As i was one of the actors it was harder for me to control them since i was in it. Working on camera rather than behind the scenes forced me to interact with everyone. There was one boy that kept being annoying and getting aggravated anytime we filmed a new scene. They acted like they were professionals but really they were having a little bit of trouble adapting. We filmed multiple shots. But they thought we would only film one and thought that we were being perfectionists when we kept refilming. The hardest tjing was fighring oht how to break to tgem that they are fired on monday. The stress of having to literally take care of them like a babysitter was very annoying.

Since it was my groups video i wanted it to be perfect . Let's just say i may have turned into directors assistant- zilla. I will definitely apologise because i know that they tried their best. Also we had to work in an extremely busy enviroment. A lot of people wanted to film in the senior patio because it is beautiful. My friends and i went to dunkin the night before to pick up cups. Then when we were filming they were filled with water. And we used them as props as well as our bags. We switched out actors and played around with it. We got at least five takes for each scene.
