So, we finally had our second meeting for the project. We were really productive today The best part: FILMING.
When I first got there, Jin and Ayesha were in the front of the house, already planning out the scene for the interview with "John Steinbeck" (Raed). From the moment of my arrival, everything already started out exciting (I accidentally let Ayesha's dog (BOBA!) out). Raed was already seated in the living room, with this serious expression on his face, as if he were already in character. Overall, the interview scene seemed genuine.
Filming the trailer. Although I wasn't in the video, it was definitely the most entertaining moment of the day. Instead of acting, I was their photographer and researcher. I drew references of the movie trailer so we could reproduce our own version of the movie; by doing this, we were able to have some credibility to our work, and still play around and add our own style to it (as demonstrated in the Cal and Aaron's fight scene). Besides being the researcher, I was the behind-the-scenes photographer, taking pictures of the characters in action as they played out their parts.
The most interesting part of watching them act out the scene was when we had to film Cal and Aaron in the same scene. Because they were twins, we decided to let Raed play both parts. Of course, it was difficult to film two Raed's in the same scene, so we had to split up the camera to make it look like there was two of him at once. And I had to hold Boba back several times to keep him from interrupting the filming.
Today was a satisfying day. We've got everything officially mapped out, I got to play around with the formatting of this website, and we're pretty much on our way to completing this page!
