Our first day of filming was canceled due to the rain. There wasn’t enough of a break to be able to take our equipment out and film without worry. We immediately made new plans to accommodate this change in schedule. We moved the hours we planned to film to Monday instead of Saturday. Unfortunately, one of our main actors, a neighbor of mine, had conflicting plans that day. We decided we would take all we could on Sunday to make up for this, focusing on the shots she is in. To prepare for the next day, Madelene came over to my house so she could get used to the camera. I taught her some of the settings and how to focus and the like. She would be the main camera-operator.
When the rain lightened up a little, we ventured out down the street with umbrellas. Of course, we didn’t take the camera with us in case it got wet, but we did take our phones so we could have camera reference. This street is the one that most of our film would take place. We did this so we could understand what angles and the like we both would want. As reality is different than the meager drawings on the storyboard, we quickly aligned our visions for what we would film, where, and how. I, as the director, told her what I envisioned, and she added her own details. Once we returned, we went over more details on the procedure of what we would film.
Once we finished that, I went and chose the costume that I would wear for the filming. I made sure to go over the other costume with the other actor via texting. That was all that we could do that day. Here is a picture of the rain outside, though the camera had a hard time capturing the rain:
