Outcome of the "Big Day"

On March 8th, we planned to film our opening in full. We had our set all set up and ready to go. Ready, set, go, and we began to film according to our storyboards. It was full proof...



Or so we thought. We began filming the first few shots to introduce our main character as well as establishing shots to introduce credits. As we further continued down this journey, something began to feel off as if we hadn't planned everything out enough to ensure the best possible end product. Although we had planned a lot and we did figure out a shooting schedule, the fact we accomplished this so hurriedly made us feel as if we could go more thorough with this project than we had been.

And with that, we rescheduled for March 17th. 

While we didn't complete filming today, we were able to further drill down what we need come March 17th. Austin agreed on purchasing a dummy iPhone for us to use as a prop and Katherine was going to be able to get a clothing rack, as well as more clothes and lighting from her friends to help further flesh out our production. I did feel uneasy going in to filming this opening so early, but believed my group would somehow overcome this and finish. I now see the more careful deliberation and overall confidence we have with our project, the more efficient we will work and the better the final project will turn out. With added time, I will use this to conduct more research and character studies to benefit the opening.
