Production Blog #1: Filming

 On Feb 20th, I began filming the Title. I was ready to work. Everything started off smoothly. Since I was the director, I had to make sure I had all the equipment and props we were going to use. I made sure I had the footballs, my cleats, and my backpack. Before we began, I went over all the angels and motions so my video would be clean. The park I chose was crowded on the field, so I waited on a bench until it was open. Once the field was open, I began filming the first scene instantly. I acted it out pretty well. I recorded multiple takes so I could decide which was the best later on. For the next scene, I began to do some training. I tried a different approach with some cuts, and it seemed to work. At first, I was having trouble filming it. But I kept trying and I practiced what to do and I got it down. The shots were much cleaner and they looked crisp. That was the main trouble we had throughout the process. I continued to direct everything as well. I didn't need to set up the camera anywhere because I used a lot of jumpcuts as I switched places. Overall the filming took around an hour. The next stop is the editing process. Thankfully filming went smoother than expected. I'm really happy for how it turned. I cannot wait to see the results!
