Post Filming
Hi blog!! So I have finished filming and now I am going to share with you how it went!! First I am going to start off with the dilemmas I had to face while filming.
1st. My friend Kelsey who was supposed to play Morgan was not in town because sadly her cousin was diagnosed with Lyme disease so she had to go visit her in North Carolina where she lives. Thankfully both Ashley (played Katy) and Brianna (played Amber) were able to replace her for the scenes she had lines.
2. Since now I am not filming during my fort Lauderdale friends spring break my friend Lucas who was originally going to play Stephen is in town so I was able to give him back his role. So since I had changed Michael to Stephen I gave him the role of James.
3. Obviously Michael's boat is broken because of the accident so we could not use his boat. Instead our other friend Frankie offered to use his boat instead. But the day I came to film, his engine would not turn on so we could not use his boat. Since Brianna has a deck, Frankie would have came over to her house on the boat and we would leave off the desk ( which is what we normally did). So since his boat did not work that day we decided to film on Brianna's boat. However it is her parents boat so we were not allowed to take it out. So we had to film on parked boat. I was pretty upset about this I really wanted to film on Frankie's boat but it came out alright in my opinion. Cleary I feel it would have came out better if we were actually on a moving boat but it is what is is. The universe really does not want me going out on a boat again hahaha. It's definitely a sign.
4. The effect of us having to film on a parked boat is that I would have to change my ending. I would not be able to film my friends dragging Stephens body onto that tree I was a talking about while I sit on the boat. I was really upset about this because I felt that it was such a good idea and would make my opening look really cool. Also I really wanted to try the rule of thirds technique but it is okay. We were able to come up with an idea. Which was to pretend to throw Stephen overboard. When we filmed this scene I kinda messed up with my acting. I was supposed to act emotionless because of shock but I did not know how to act that way without making me look weird on camera. I feel that my viewers would not understand what I was trying to go for. Although, I did try to pursue this by drinking the fake alcohol unthoughtfully to ''numb the pain'' or '' run away from reality''. I thought it was a good idea because in the beginning of the opening I had hesitated drinking and wasn't too fond of it until my friends convinced me too. So the fact I drank it on my own the way I did showed how I changed after knowing what happened with Stephen and the horrible thing we did by dumping his body into the water so we would not get in trouble for underage drinking.
5. The last issue I had was to actually get my friends to really participate in the film thoughtfully. They agreed to do it and they had told me how excited they were to film this with me but once they realized how much work it was they started acting lazy and did not want to film anymore. Its is okay because I was able to get everything to work out and get the shots I needed. I will thank Brianna and Micael though, because they were really the only ones who were into it and helped me to get the others to stop being lazy lol. But this was the least of my problems compared to the rest of the problems I had. I just wanted to let you guys know how filming really went for me.
Other than all of that I genuinely had a fun time filming and I am glad I was able to work everything out.
Here are some pictures/videos of behind the scenes:
