Biggest obstacle

Hello there Intense filming day today.. let me catch you up.

Straight after school my group members and our special actor met up today at the Southwest Ranches Horseback riding ranch ready to film. With our canon T3I, which we borrowed from Paula's dad we got straight to work. We got various shots, and with each shot we tried to make sure it added meaning to the purpose of the film opening.

As i had discussed in the other post labeled "Things go wrong..." I talked about a situation we had as to where out current filming location in the abandoned house, the walls were boarded up and we no longer were able to film there. I decided to take a picture of the house to show you what our first location set was going to be. (As you can see in the picture all the windows are boarded up.)

I decided to bring this up again to to into depth about the biggest obstacle my group and i overcame. We had to turn a horseback riding ranch into a set of our desire. We went from having an elaborate plan of most of our shots and how this entire film opening was going to play out, to having to completely switch locations which threw my group and i off a little. We couldn't recreate many of the scenes featured in the storyboard, considering we we had planned to film this in an enclosed area and this made everything much more difficult This task at hand was not easy but we made it our mission to overcome this challenge. We had to retake many of the same shots to make sure we didn't include any obvious giveaways, such as a horse, that we were filming at a horseback riding ranch. We wanted to give the illusion that these main character is running off into the woods and ventured open an abandoned area. I felt at the end of the shots we were able to successfully carry out that mission, no matter how tersely we filmed for nearly 5 hours the same shots over and over again to try and get the best outcome.

Ready to film again tomorrow and see what tomorrow has in store for us!
