Film Journal #2- Production Has Begun

This week has been was very productive week and I think our group is on track on getting the film done on time. Our director and DP worked on the shot list and I worked on the schedule and figuring out when people can't be available when we need to shoot, and getting the prop list ready, locations. On Monday, both the director and DP finished the shot list and on Tuesday we got all of our props ready, so that we can start filming the next day. On Wednesday, my group and I started filming the beginning of our film that takes place at a Doughnut Shop. We all arrived on time and we started right away. while filming we faced a problem, since we were filming inside the shop and the walls were basically windows, the sun would appear and disappear causing lighting problems. Luckily we thought fast and we fixed the problem as best as we could. Today while the director and DP imported the shots into the computer, they realized that some shots wouldn't work for the film and that we didn't pay attention to how the props were placed in the frame. We have to re-shoot the scene tomorrow on Friday and pay more attention on what is going to be in the frame and to make sure that everything is placed correctly every time we shoot, and we are going to have to also pay attention to our lighting while we film. We've seen our mistakes and have learned from them.
