Filming Blog: Working With Friends on Set!

 Hey Blog!

    When deciding on how to go about this project, I was really excited to pick Karina as a partner as well as my actresses. Last year, I worked alone for my intro to short film because I thought I could be more organized. Yet this year, I thought having a partner could be kinda fun.

    Filming this short was an awesome experience, but working with my friends on Set definitely had its ups and downs. It was just me and Karina on crew, so we both had to contribute a lot. The best part honestly was having friends here to help bring my creative vision to life. My friend and her sisters were excited to acting my short, yet the easily forgot their lines or got distracted. I had to remind them to stay in character, but they were patient and worked hard to get it right.

    For example, sometimes someone would start laughing in the middle of a scary scene. Then we had to redo it a couple of times. But honestly, these bits of laughter kept energy up on Set, making it super fun. I also learned the importance of clear communication to keep everything going. I had planned out what shots would happen when. Yet, while filming sometimes I had to improvise.

    Karina has some great ideas for shots that I incorporated. Between us two, there were tons of creativity. I really had a great time, being on Set was super fun. Well, I hope you enjoyed reading. Talk to you soon
