 Today was out first filming day for our final task project. Everybody in our group arrived to Adriana's house around 8:30. First we had to set up her room. It was already relatively clean all we had to do was move some stuff that would throw off the theme. Things such as miscellaneous items on her desk. We also had to over her dogs bed. We also had to move around her curtains to make the lighting optimal for the filming. We decided Faith should be the one acting, it was originally supposed to be Adriana, but we decided that Faith would fit the dress better. We started the filming, everything was going smooth. There was only one major problem that kept slowing us down. Since we were filming pretty early in the morning, the movement of the sun kept changing the lighting. So we had to keep adjusting the blinds in order to try and keep the same amount of lighting as before. Honestly it wasn't even that hard, just tedious having to adjust after almost very clip. Out of all the scenes that we recorded my favorite was the scene where she opens her closet and reaches in for a dress. Its my favorite because it seems like our characters is interacting with the audience in a sense. Since the camera was setup inside of the closet, when she opens it and stares into the camera it is meant to give the audience an uneasy feeling. Then she reaches past the audience to get an item of clothing reminding to audience that she isn't aware of them. My least favorite scene to film was probably the one where our character is putting on her jewelry and applying makeup. The reason I didn't like filming this was because it was hard to get a shot of her in the mirror without actually appearing in the mirror myself. We had to work around the original idea for the scene but we got it done in the end. This was a pretty productive filming day and we got more then half of the storyboard completed.
