That's a Wrap!

 Today was our final and last filming day. Since we were filming towards the end of the day, we focused on the morning and early afternoon reviewing what scenes we needed to film and the angles and lines required. I arrived an hour earlier than the other 2 members so that I could communicate with the main character one on one, face to face. We reshot scenes that were missing or just bad overall. Raquel and I first shot the closeup of the phone and text message between her and her friend Emily. Then I shot Raquel getting up from her bed and walking towards the bedroom door, then opening it. I then suggested that we print out a list of all the scenes in the film so that we could cross them out and know which ones we had left to do. As we printed out the list and crossed out filmed scenes, the other two group members arrived at the location. We jumped right in and started to film missing scenes in chronological order. I began be reshooting the tea kettle and knife scenes with the mother. Again, we had supervision during this because of the hot stove and sharp knives. After this, we filmed the scenes that required every group member. This took the longest time since we had various ideas for different angles and movements that we could not come to an agreement before hand. We narrowed it done, and finished the scenes that took place in the living room. This was were majority of the suspense and tension would be, making it a crucial part of the film. We later filmed the outside portion of the film since it was supposed to be sunset or night time. Our group could not film late at night, for safety reasons, so we decided to film right after sunset where it was between day and night. We reviewed all of the scenes on my phone and made sure we did not forget any scenes. Our group spent the rest of the time we had to discuss various editing techniques we needed to do for our specific editing sequences we had. Specifically, we talked about the eyes closing or opening scenes, and the ringing of the ears or silence that the audience hears.
