Filming

 Hello it's me Isahiah back with another blog. Today I'll be talking about the commencing of our filming for our opening sequence to our movie. Today Renato and  Conner filmed a few scenes for our "training" scene as well as a few dialogue scenes. Finn and I were currently unavailable for the weekend, so me and Conner decided to film some scenes with only our characters included. Conner went over to Renato's, sunrise intercostal, with some of his equipment. This included some microphones for our audio to be easily heard throughout the film. He also brought a drone which would come in later use for our training scene. They started with going to Renato's neighborhood looking for a safe area to film. The plan was to have Conner use the drone to film him running, showing his character training for the fight. They simultaneously covered many shots for the film such as aerial shot, pan shot and establishing shot. There were a few trial and errors that occurred throughout the process such as forgetting the sim card for the drone. When they retrieved the sim card, they had the obstacle of controlling the drone, but quickly were able to adapt and learn how to utilize it. Once filming began, Renato and Conner tried many attempts of different angles, such as the drone starting on the sky and following me running, or the drone beginning behind me, rising and showing me running to the distance. After a few more attempts we reviewed the shots that we got. They then went back to Renato's house and proceeded to fill some scenes, there such as the scene where Renato is first introduced. When first introduced, his character will be turning off the TV, transitioning from the news report to Renato in his couch. Also filming in Renato's cars at in the front yard. These scenes were for the dialogue scenes of Renato preparing and telling me he is ready to make a comeback. Other than that they shot multiple times and loads of footage was able to successfully be made. Conner and Renato called it a day after a few hours, and looked ahead for the next filming and which scenes we could do including the rest of us. This didn't involve the group much but Renato and Conner did their best to put in as much film as they could while they had the chance. Ill talk to you soon!
