Ah-ha Moment
There was a clip where Sawyer walked straight up to the abductor and it was the perfect shot. I remember screaming because I was so excited to have captured that clip. Once Sawyer got comfy she wanted me to play with her and that made it really easy to get the clips we needed.
Another Ah-ha Moment was when the music was finally finished. We got the two pieces to flow perfectly into each other and it was a great feeling.
Difficulties
At the beginning of filming Sawyer wanted to always be with her dad and didn’t want to play on the playground so it made it really hard to film. I had to try and get natural shots but she kept running away so it was really difficult so get shots to fit our storyboard. Another difficulty was agreeing with my partner on how we wanted the movie to be edited but in the end it all worked out and the film turned out perfect.
While filming our opening scene the main actor didn’t feel as comfy as we thought. She always wanted to be near her dad (the kidnapper) and would start to cry if he wasn’t near. This made it difficult to film and we had to spend more time help calm her down than actually filming.
Diary
Working with my bestfriend was a good idea because were both comfy enough to speak our true opinion. At the same time it was hard to always stay focused and we would always goof off but it was a difficult time getting stuff done. With self dicepline we got the clips done pretty fast and the blogs done pretty detailed.
