So about three weeks ago Donna and Eric, gave us a work session during class. Because our schedules would not sync up, we decided Thursday class night would pretty much be the only time we could film while we still had the camera.
Our director and our cameraman, Sam and Tommy, began filming on a mountain with a few actors before class started. Katie, Destiny, and I met in the classroom to sign in and went back to the dorms to collect our supplies. We then thought we were en route to the mountain to continue filming, but Sam and Tommy call us to tell us they were on the way back. We were frustrated and confused because this was the only time we had to film and we were clearly not finished filming. Sam tells us that we have to let the actors leave because they had things to do and we were frustrated because we now had no actors.
We get back to campus and try to regroup in Sam’s dorm room. We watch the footage to see what we have and to see what kind of editing magic us girls were expected to do. Well….the footage looked good…but there was NO SOUND.
The group as a whole got really irritated and frustrated at eachother and situation we put ourselves in. So we changed our story once again. We are now filming a comedy about a group of students making a film project for a class. Sound familiar?
When we started filming this storyline, we all realized how much better and practical this idea worked out and we all felt the tension ease up. I was definitely excited because the new locations on campus and new actors (ourselves) would definitely make it achievable to film quickly and efficiently.
