The Difficulties of Our Filming Process

While filming, we realized there was a major issue in our story that we should have planned for but didn’t. One of my partners arrived a bit late to the filming location, which meant the sun was already going down. Because of this, viewers will be able to see a noticeable change in lighting, which might cause some confusion. We filmed on a Friday at 5:30 PM, about two to three hours after school. In the future, we should have scheduled our filming earlier in the day, especially if we knew someone might arrive late.

Another difficulty we had was that cars were going in and out the parking lot when we were filming. This difficulty was not as bad, but it did cause annoyance as we had to wait for a few minutes for them to leave again.

The last difficulty we faced during filming was that our original helper, who was supposed to help us on set, was unable to come. The original actor was meant to act as a substitute for Nicolas, but that plan fell through. Fortunately, Teo (who plays Nicolas) arrived with an electric car, while the original actor drives a gas‑powered one. The electric car made almost no noise during filming, which actually helped us keep the audio clean and avoid the unwanted car background sound.
