Production Blog: Filming Our Opening Sequence

 Hey bloggers, todays the day we finally begin filming for our opening sequence. Once again it took quite a bit of time for all of us to schedule a meeting together. We finally came together yesterday afternoon and we filmed the first storyboard of our opening sequence. Speaking about storyboards I had actually updated it a few days prior in order to add more length to our opening sequence and add more personality to our opening sequence. But back to the filming, we all decided to wear stereotypical pajamas with sleepy caps and eye covers. We also had to come up with who would eventually be the main character of our sequence. This decision was also heavily based on who was the most comfortable and natural when the camera was placed on them. We also had faced some climate troubles as it was incredibly windy and cold in Florida during this period. This made it very challenging to leave the house to film as some of our group had also fallen ill during this time. Despite all these challenges we all met together at Connie's house and got to work with our filming. The first few scenes were relatively straight forward and simple to film and despite them being recently added the group did well to film. Where we ran into issues was the making breakfast part of the first storyboard sheet. Managing the cooking of the eggs and the bacon while also filming and using various angles made the filming particularly challenging. We were also trying to film as safely as possible, but this was also challenging. The eggs kept on launching hot oil all over us while we were trying to film, we tried lowering the heat but the sizzling was no longer audible. The hot oil would also splash on the camera we were using and would blur the video. We resorted to using a tripod and putting up with the pain from the hot oil. The food was also a challenge because we could not take too much time filming as the food would burn and ruin the pans and would also be a waste of money. The only positive from this was that we did get to eat it afterwards with the group which was pretty enjoyable. Alright bloggers that all thank you so much for reading and have a terrific day.
