Filming Day 2

The second day of filming went better than the first. Both the sound designer and I were unable to be there but the cinematographer and actor got everything done. There are a few different variations of the same scene, one where Chantal is inside the hotel, one where she is walking out, and one where she is standing outside. 

The first clip is Chantal inside the hotel. Link to the clip: https://youtu.be/kqXOGsDdue4  

Chantal inside the hotel

I did not like this shot at all. There is so much glare from the glass of the aquarium and you can see the cinematographer and tripod in the reflection. In the video, the bubbles in the aquarium are moving around fast which is distracting to the viewer because it takes attention away from Chantal.

The next clip is the one where she is standing outside. Link to the clip: https://youtu.be/G6r41ot450U

Chantal talking outside

I like the outside shots better than the inside ones. There is still some distracting movement with the tree branches, but it is not as bad as the bubbles. Another thing is that the flower stands out more which is good because we want the viewer to pay attention to it.

The last clip is the one where she walks out of the hotel. Link to the clip: https://youtu.be/cvupU4vw6II

Chantal walking outside

This is my favorite shot, I really like the doors opening to reveal Chantal. I think that this shot is one we will definitely use in the final cut. My biggest problem with this is that it is off-level and not completely centered. There is still the issue with the reflection in the glass but that is not as important. If we have time, I would like to do a reshoot. 

 

All we need to do is shoot the 'tiktok' and the other scene with Adira and we will be done with filming.
