We filmed for the first time yesterday (March 29) at Justin's house. The costume I wore was a hat, a tie (tied on intentionally poorly), baggy pants, and a blue, baggy shirt, I'll upload a picture when I can.
We were filming Daniel's scene that day. Daniel plays this angry, stereotypical Cantonese man. The two of us, Justin and I, accidentally teleported to his house and he does not appreciate it one bit, so he chases us around the house.
I feel that yesterday was just a prelude on what's to come on the later filming sessions. It will be long, complex, exhausting, with the sense of satisfaction coming in the editing room, hopefully. There was quite a lot of confusion in coming in and out of doors, which one did Justin come in, which one he will come out, etc. I give so much credit to Joyce and Elliot as their roles, especially in this project, require so much patience, care and detail. Despite that I think that it could have been a more efficient filming session, we could tell that in the end of it all, we got some good footage. The one bite I have on Elliot is that judging from his handling of the camera, there is much more stationary footage then him moving around. Also from the distance he's positioning the camera at, maybe there are not enough close ups. But since we are filming a Chaplin style film, then it is quite successful.
As for sound, I think this will probably be one of the only scenes where it won't be silent or won't rely totally on the music. Daniel's voice is hilarious and I must show that on our final product.
I also recorded some mundane, diegetic sound like Daniel's game controller and the fridge doors.
I was an IB learner today because
