DAY 9: Filming Day 2

For the second part of my film intro, my partner and I had planned to have the character wake up randomly at the beach. Making it obvious that she is very confused on how she got there or why she is there. She wakes up with pill bottles and a wine bottle right next to her. Emphasizing how hung over she is, we have her grab the bottle and just walk towards the shore to show how she has given up on life.

While planning to film this part, we planned on either waking up early to see the sunrise or staying late to see the sunset. However, the only place that has sunsets is hours away from us, so we decided to wake up before the sunrise and  film the shots. We wanted to achieve the orange hues that the sun would give us as an advantage for some really cool shots! And that's what we got. We filmed varied shots of her walking towards the sunrise. We made sure to film against the sun so we could get more of her silhouette against the sun rather than visual details of her. One of my favorite shots from the beach was a shot that showed the phone ringing that her mom was calling her (representing how no one knows where she is) and the phone's reflection showed her walking into the sunset. 

My partner and I made sure to not repeat the same mistakes we did on day 1 of our filming. This time I made sure the camera was fully charged and the location was going to beneficial rather than harmful. Having the camera helped so much with these shots and this proved to me that we do need to reshoot the day 1 filming parts.
