First day of Filming!

Vincent Mango band practice

Yay! We finally started filming! Today the band was having a band practice, so we decided to take advantage of the opportunity and get to filming the scenes of the band members together for the ending of our opening. We filmed using Camila's digital camera because we felt the quality of the video would come out better through the camera instead of from our phones. I'm happy that the band was very cooperative and I hope we got all the footage we need for this particular scene. (Alejandro was wearing his JROTC uniform in the picture, we made him change ASAP so that the band has a uniform, grunge look like how we originally planned.)

We tried to get as many close-ups of each of the members playing their instruments, and also got as many angles as we could. We thought the more footage we had the better. Also, we plan to film again tomorrow, starting with the individual scenes with the characters. We hope to finish Alejandro's library scene tomorrow, and finish filming over the weekend.
