Filming

 So.... I just finished filming! I think I liked a bunch of the shots and how it turned out!

I did have some obstacles though....

To begin with, I got to the set (my friend's house) 40 minutes late due to the fact that I can't drive by myself and need my parents to drive me places. Therefore, my friend's parents were annoyed at us for starting late and for filming at their house. Then, my parents got annoyed after about two hours of filming because they didn't want me taking as long as I was taking. So, this just added extra stress. However, we were able to calm the parents by reassuring them that we will finish quicker! 

Next, one of my actors had a volleyball tournament and was an hour delayed. She mentioned beforehand how she would get to the house at 9pm. However, she left the tournament at 9:30pm and it was a 30 minute drive and she still needed to change into her killer outfit. Since the parents were annoyed with us, we decided to just have the actor who plays Vida, also play Alice. We finished filming about an hour later, but it would've turned out a lot better if it was a different character, as it may seem obvious throughout the film. 

Finally, I had brought a tripod to film, but it was kind of broken. One of the parts kept falling down, which was quite frustrating. 

I was forced to hold it up while filming, so I hope that the shots didn't come out shaky, unless it was intended.

All in all, I should've planned out my scheduling better and change the dates if one of the actors isn't sure that they can make it to film that night. I should also be more aware of my products that I use, and make sure they work before filming.
