This week was production week. On Wednesday, everyone came over to my house in the morning and we aimed to get the house scenes filmed as well as the beach scene. Setting up the lights, sound and shots took longer than expected, and we got a lot less done at the house than we thought we would. Because the sun sets so early, around 5pm, we had to rush off to the beach to get our beach scenes before it got dark. The house scenes were difficult because of the lav mics – it was difficult to get everyone’s voice heard clearly as well as making the lav’s not visible to the camera. Because we had 3 or 4 people in a shot at a time in a lot of the house scenes, it also slowed down a lot of the process’ because the people not in the shots had to manage multiple things at once (mostly K and I). Everyone was a great help but having some extra people on our set or alternatively, a smaller ‘cast’ would have made time management a lot smoother and more efficient. Regardless, we got about a 3rd of the house scenes finished on Wednesday and the whole beach scene done which left us to do the rest of the house/street scenes as well as filming at the racecourse and tunnel.
On Thursday morning, everyone came over again and we had left everything out from the day before so luckily, set up was a lot quicker this time. I did a lot of the sound, and at this point we moved from using the lav mics to using the boom microphone which I thought sounded a lot better as well as being easier to manage. We were more on a roll this day, and we were able to get a lot more done within a shorter amount of time. We got all the house scenes done and ran to get the racecourse shots finished. This was personally my favourite part of our project, I think the tunnel location is our coolest part of the sketch. We got everything done and packed up everything at my house to return the equipment we had to return. We didn’t get to do the green screen shots, but decided they would do it Monday during class time.
