Defining my Shooting Process

As I posted on my blog, two days ago was my first day of filming for my two minute opening scene project. Due to the time consuming mise-en-scene aspects I needed to consider, I was only able to shoot a couple parts of my story, provoking me to wonder how I would be able to complete my shooting process this week, as I had planned. Consequently, I concluded that I needed a filming schedule. Although I was a little late to the realization due to the fact that I had already commenced, I decided that the rest of my filming procedure would flow much better, allowing me to perfect my story in a coherent, necessary manner. 

The following list elicits this schedule, following the sequence of my storyboard (posted on a previous blog):

2/27/2023: Film waking up/ going to sleep scenes.

3/1/2023: Film bathroom and homework scenes. 

3/2/2023: Film therapy office scene. 

3/3/2023: Film school/classroom scenes. 

As I have explained in previous blog posts, my opening follows a repetitive pattern. As a result, I have allotted days fully to, for example, shooting a wake up/go to sleep scene, as there are roughly 4 of each I must capture. These shots are time consuming as mise-en-scene elements, such as costume design, must change each time, resulting in my day-by-day scheduling decision. 

I am excited to dive back into my filming process later today; however, in a much organized, paced manner.
