Shooting went great! At least, I'm pleased with all the shots I got and the weather was working in my favor that day, thankfully. With my script and storyboard, I was scared I wouldn't have enough footage and that I had overestimated how long each take was going to be. But by just glancing over the clips, I think I have to cut some scenes out!
Although everything didn't go super smooth either. The park and area we were in for shooting was empty, so that didn't bother me. What I'm annoyed and worried about how it will look by the end is any of the car scenes. The lighting wasn't working in m favor inside the car, and the camera was extremely shaky despite being in a tripod. Adding to that, I had shots outside of the car in the park's parking lot but the cars kept coming and going so you can see the messed up continuity. It's not that big of a deal, and it's not like I could ask people to move their cars, especially when the parking lot was full. But small details like that bother me the most when it comes to projects.
Something I dreaded though, was acting in front of the camera. Neither me or my sister are any good when it comes to acting, so every shot took several takes for it to come out right as we couldn't take ourselves seriously. It was fun, but I'm still not prepare to die of cringe when I start editing. An unexpected enemy turned out to be the bees at the park. I'm completely terrified of them, so when I saw one when trying to shot something I couldn't help but sprint the other way. Thank god none of them stung me, because that would have made me stop everything to go cry.
