Filming day #2

Today was filming day #2,  I decided to do my siblings part of the film. The initial idea was to start with Mia, my sister. I planned on following the story board, however, as I was recording, it got difficult to do exactly what was visioned. I recorded in my neighborhood, there is a green place beside my house that is pretty and found it ideal. When I started today, I was explaining to my little sister what she had to do. She is three years old and very intelligent. So she did understand when I was explaining. But with kids it is sometimes difficult, and I kind of got stressed out after 30 minutes because she would not to what I wanted to. That does not sound very well, but it is how I felt at the moment. I took a deep breath and thought that I know that she is a child, so we went home and waited for her to will to go out again and keep recording. Unfortunately, she did not want to go out again, I guess she was just tired or did not like the idea. My mother was at home working and she told me she would help as soon as she was done. 

I had to record my baby brother as well, I did not find this difficult because he is always so happy and smiley, which is what I wanted to show. Mia went out with me and my family to record. My mother helped me to get them together. I ended up doing things that I did not have planned, but had to because it was the way I found it more convenient. 

This is a Timelapse of when I started recording. (The phone died and I did not realize minutes later hahah)

When my family helped me, it was better because I had more help while recording my two little siblings. However, it was still challenging. Milan, my baby brother, at the beginning was great, running all over the place but later got difficult. But it is normal. I still got good footage. I recorded almost everything I could to have more material. meanwhile... these two were having some fun 😍

As I previously said, I had to change some things. I think I will be doing a transition of Mia walking from right to left and Milan doing the same. Since I could not record more shots with Mia by herself. I found it best to do that and then show the rest of the footage just them two. At the end of the filming today, I wanted to record something with both of them, but Milan would not go towards me along Mia, So I could not do that today. However, I want to add something with me included to add more emotion. 

I had fun recording today with my most favorite two little persons, it was challenging but that is what is about right?

I will record tomorrow the garage scene, the scene with my mother before graduation and Paula by herself in the sunset. I planned on doing the sunset today, but my time was short and had to work as well. I need to manage the time better.
