The filming

Sunday was as interesting as can be. Over all the shooting went well. Minor delays and even less things that went wrong. The original plan was to start filming at 8 in the morning. Well after arriving back in Pa after 1:30 in the morning from working on Saturday, this was not happening, though I tried to get up my body said “NO!” We started setting up the locations around 9:30 in the morning. The after panicking for a good thirty minutes our final member of our team and the last one of the talent arrived to begin filming. The shots went quick everybody worked really well together. After shooting about three scenes Tom reminded me to check the audio (because like idiots the first have of the shoot we did not wear headphones), and good thing we did. After realizing a mistake on the audio settings we lost about an hour of shooting and had to re-shoot a few scene. Honestly I think it was for the best because I think that they turned out a lot better then that what they were (and had sound this time). We got out of shooting majority of the film around 12:30ish and took a long break to watch some Sunday NFL football and catch up on some sleep. Near night fall we began to set up for the next couple of shots. Me and three of my buddies (dressed in grungy clothing) ventured to Wal*Mart to buy a shovel, duck tape, and a spotlight, yeah that doesn’t look creepy at all. Filming at night was tricky. We had to deal with very low light. To combat this we gathered a bunch of cars and turned on the headlights to brighten everything up. Shooting about 10 seconds worth of film this way ended up taking over 1 ½ hrs. With using car headlights our shooting time was limited, we had only a few minutes to get as many takes as we could. Then to not kill the car battery we would have to start the car up let the engine run and recharge the battery. It was a long stressful and daunting process. But the film looked good.
