Today was our first film day! After school Jocelyn and Sophia came over to my house to begin the filming process. We focused on the mise-en-scene of the film, we discussed what outfits we would be wearing, what accessories would be shown throughout the film, and what makeup styles we would wear.
Since it was later in the day, we needed to take advantage of the day light and we decided to begin with the outside scenes. This included all the car scenes and when Jocelyn's character, Arianna, was waiting to get picked up. It honestly took longer than expected because of the amount of retakes it took to perfect certain scenes.
When acting in these scenes it was important to listen to my peers for advise. Sophia was the cinematographer and director during this filming process, she encouraged me to improvise and add to my lines to make it feel more natural. This helped me a lot since I was able to envision what I would say as Alejandra in this moment.
As part of the car scene we drove to Cali Coffee for our next establishing shot, this represented the upcoming setting for the last scenes. At first it was very nerve-racking to film in public, but I ended up having a great time working with my peers.
We will have to meet up again because we sadly could not film everything in one day, the next time we meet up we will film the beginning scenes of the film opening, this will include when my character, Alejandra, first wakes up, when she is getting ready, and when she is talking to Jocelyn's character, Arianna, on the phone.
