Finishing Filming After a Long Day

 After a lunch break, my partner and I got right back to filming. The next scene on our agenda was the kitchen scene. Just as I talked about in the last blog, we followed 3 steps for each scene. Find my starting and ending mark, place the camera, and then find the actor's mark for the next shot. And for this scene, it was no different. For the first shot of the scene, I walked into the kitchen from the room next to it and then look over at the oven. And in the memory shot that went with this scene, I had to place cookies into the oven with the other actor sitting on the counter right next to me. I once again had to change my costume to match the last memory scene but this time I wore oven mitts to fit the scene. We did more or less the same steps for the next scene in the bedroom. The only difference was that Bliss followed me with the camera on the tripod and had to place it down before the end of the shot so that the proceeding shot had a seamless fade-in transition. But we changed it up once we got to the next scene. I as the actor had to show a visual change in my attitude from sad to determined in this shot. So I lifted up my head, shook it, and walked out aggressively. The next couple shots showed me leaving my house and getting in my car and driving off. Once in my car, we went back to the formula of filming the present-day shot followed by a memory scene. But this time instead of fading from a shot of just me to a shot of both actors, it went from a shot of the rose to a shot of just my partner. We then filmed a shot of my car pulling into a driveway which tracked the car until it was parked which then tracked me as I got out and walked to the front door. I had to do one more shot of me walking up to the door which was a medium-wide shot. And for the last scene, we had a close-up of my hand knocking on the door and then I filmed a shot of my partner's hand opening it. At long last, we were finally finished with filming.
