Hello and welcome back to the blog! This week marked the first official week of filming for my project, which felt both exciting and slightly overwhelming. Thankfully, I had my locations scouted out pretty far in advance, since the opening mostly takes place in my own school and at home. Because these are spaces I am already familiar with, it made planning camera angles and movement much easier. I had already visualized which hallways, classrooms, and rooms would best fit the tone of the film, so when it came time to start filming, I felt prepared rather than rushed.
Over the weekend, I spent most of my time collecting footage from around my school and home for cutaways and establishing shots. I focused on capturing small details such as empty hallways, classroom desks, bedroom spaces, and other everyday environments that help set the mood of routine and repetition. I decided to hold off on bringing my actors in until next week because I wanted to ensure my script was as clean and finalized as possible before filming performance scenes. In the meantime, I made sure all costumes were set and ready, and I coordinated everyone’s schedules so we could film efficiently once they are involved. Overall, this first week was more about preparation and atmosphere, but it made me feel much more confident heading into the next stage of production.
