Hey there! I’m so glad to announce that we have begun to film our opening!
Today was the first day of filming and it went really well. We hope to be done filming by tomorrow.
For our first day of filming, we used Elly’s garage to film the opening scene where Elliot Theo Gordon (our main character) is kidnapped and held captive. Since we were filming in her garage, we didn’t have to worry about natural lighting. We filmed from 4:30pm to 9pm within her garage. Although, we should have been slightly more prepared with lighting. We had a small light to use but it would have been nice if we had additional lights as well, but we managed to make it work to the best of our abilities.
When we were filming, we ran across an issue of who the kidnapper would be. Originally we thought Elly could do it, but it didn’t seem right. Gabe is taller than Elly so for the shot’s composition, it didn’t look proper. We ended up using Elly’s brother who was available to act as our kidnapper.
For the first day, Gabe, our main actor, dressed formally. We wanted “Elliot” to be dressed nicely in a plain white dress shirt and khaki pants. This makes the audience curious as to why he is dressed formally in hopes of watching the entire film to find out.
Overall, the first day of filming was really productive and I can’t wait to see how tomorrow goes as we finish filming our opening. Be sure to leave in the comments how excited you are to see our film opening idea come to life!
