Production Process: Day 1

    Today in school we began the filming process of our film opening. The opening scene takes place with Maddie walking down the school hallway, looking very sad. She passes a poster that indicated its the lats day of school, and than students leave the classrooms and flood the hallway. Here is the part of our story board where you can see the shots we began to film:

The night before, with my group we decided what Maddie should be wearing. We came to the decision for her to wear sweatpants and a black hoodie. We felt this illustrates a feeling of an motivation and sadness we want her to display. Since I will be playing Maddie in the film opening, thats exactly what I wore. When we got to school today, we left to film. I took my little digital canon camera to record the scenes. Two problems we cam across was that 1) when we left to film, we had 5 minutes to do so, so it was very rushed. Problem number 2) In the middle of shooting the scene walking down the hallway, the camera turned off, it had ran out of battery. We have decided to keep filming next class and get all the school shots out of the way, this weekend we will begin filming all of the rest. These are some behind-the-scene videos of us filming the shots.
