Hey everyone!! Today I want to talk about a small issue that occurred during production. So my group finally got together to start shooting the opening and everything was going really well when we were filming outdoors.
Anndd then it all went downhill from here... Our original idea was to film all the outdoor scenes first, and then go inside the gas station to shoot the interior scenes. The strategy was just walk in and ask for permission on the spot rather than calling ahead because, honestly, we thought we'd have a better chance if they could see we were just some random kids working on a school project.
The gas station employees were actually super nice about it, but they couldn't allow us to film there because their manager wasn't there, and apparently they weren't allowed to contact them either.
This created a less than ideal situation for us. We needed to pick between finding a completely different gas station to film the interior shots (which would create continuity issues), or split our filming into two separate days. After talking to the group and our actress we ended up deciding to push filming the interior back to March 9th.
The good in all this is that this gave us extra time to be creative with the outdoor footage which will give us more options during editing. But since the most editing heavy shots are filmed and over with, well be able to finalize those before filming the indoor shots.
That's all from me for now. Stay tuned for the actual post about filming (Ik its like the third time I've said this but I promise lol) ! See ya :0
