Our first day of filming went fantastic! We found the most perfect spot of the park called the “fitness zone.” This part of the park has exercise machines and benches, but the best part is that it is located right next to the forest I wanted to film at. Through our amazing find, we had to improvise and change our story line a bit. At first we wanted to begin our film opening in a car. However, the car idea would be difficult to lead into the forest, which is vital to our entire story line. So we changed the initial location to the the “fitness zone.” We used the exercise machines to our advantage.
We also had to make a few changes to the script since they followed the original story line. Look at the picture underneath for new script:
The distance between the “ fitness zone” and the forest was on point. It made complete sense why she would run into the woods from where she was originally sitting, which was one of my biggest struggles. The woods were perfect only a little bit of light shining through, making the location look mysterious. There were a lot of low branches which allowed us to take cool shots behind their leaves. The only bad part about the forest was all the spider webs and creaking sounds all around us...I swear I felt like something was gonna jump out and attack me. I really don't know how I used to enjoy to spend time in there as a child.
Overall it has been a successful day of shooting. Working with Vernie and Sofi has been super easy and fun. Vernie and Sofi had great ideas which bettered our project. One filming location down, two to go. Stay tuned!
