Filming part 2

All done recording! Meeting up at my house, my partner and I completed the funeral scene filming! We had a bit of a scare at first because we were unable to allocate our most important Mi-en-scene prop, the heart necklace. We went back to our previous filming location and looked in all the bags and drawers of the house only to find it inside my laundry room. We took a picture of our actress with the heart necklace on and created a poster on canva to utilize as a memorial and remembrance frame and design. We printed the poster in 8 by 10 in Walgreens to achieve a glossy and large representation. 

Going outside to achieve natural lighting and wind, my partner and I arranged fake flowers, a structured vase as an urn, an easel to hold the poster, a bible, and a rosary to establish the content and setting of the plot. We asked my dad to play the role of a priest with a combination of close-up shots. He wore a full navy blue button-up outfit and we put a strap of paper in between his collar to enhance the look and intention of his position and profession. One of our close-up shots consisted of "the priest" holding the bible and rosary around his hands. We hope such elements form and demonstrate context, mood, and habit.

The filming was pretty simple. We collected a bunch of shots just in case during editing we need a variety of shots. The following step is to begin editing! I will go over the videos we have collected and select the preferred ones. We will start looking into Adobe Premiere or Imovie. Succeding to the editing, we will record the actress's voice for the voice over and monitor and evaluate then details of timing, length, and writing content.
