Nikaliyah and I filmed our blog on Saturday, the 3rd of April. I arrived at her house at around 12 P.M. It took about 7 hours to complete our filming. My brother and I had snacks and dinner at her house. We took breaks often to not stress out her young brother. We learned that the hard way. We were around 2 hours into shooting when we realized we stressed out Nikaliyah's brother. Due to that, and also because the phone we were using to film needed to charge, we made sure to take breaks often.
We decided to film all our outside scenes before proceeding to the ones inside. We did this for efficiency because it would mean that we wouldn't have to keep going in and out constantly. We had to change some things in our film that differ from the storyboard. Instead of the photo frame in the first 3 storyboard pages, we decided to make a flashback scene instead because we did not have access to a printer. Some of the storyboard pages that we planned out had to be filmed differently due to things that were happening in her house that we could not control. I can't remember which scenes we had to differently, but there weren't that many. We made do with what we had, and I don't think it would have jeoproadized the film. I remember my teacher saying that we couldn't stray too far from our storyboard, and although we had to change some things, I hope we still stuck to that guideline.
It was fun filming with Nikaliyah and her brother. We contacted our group member, Perla, who unfortunately could not make it to filming due to her being sick, often. We would update her with what happened and asked if she could film a scene at her house for us. Although filming took all day and drained my energy for the rest of the evening, it was a fun experience. My group and I will commence editing this upcoming weekend.
