I will start this off with saying that my filming schedule was completely thrown off due to personal matters that happened and not being able to film at my friend's apartment the day I planned on it. Still, on the days I've recorded so far I've followed a similar formatting to it, with the shooting taking about fifty minutes in total for act 3 and the time of day being around 7-8pm. I filmed act three the day after I was originally planning to so timing wasn't so bad there, and majority of the scenes got done. After I get done with shooting all my scenes, I will edit them into sequence so I see how the whole opening will go down, then I'll do reshoots for things I believe could've been done better.
One of the biggest challenges that I've faced during the filming process is camera work and getting the shots I want. Since I have minimal to none equipment, it's truly a budget production so I had to resort to creative ways of getting the angles and framing. For the top picture where I'm knocking I stuck my phone to the wall behind us with duck tape so it had that fixed framing and it worked out pretty nicely. For the 2nd picture the camera was was adjusted on something hanging on the wall with my phone tilted to get both of us in the shot. It's not the most effective way of getting these shots obviously but it has worked good as it is so far and has been a fun process thinking of ways to get the shot.
I filmed some of my first act last night where Ricky leaves the house and walks off screen. This sequence I was pretty proud of and enjoyed how it turned out. The camera pans up and puts me off screen as I walk off and points to the sky. This is where the credits are going to go, and after that it will cut into the second act, which hopefully will be done tommorow.
