Finally Filming

 After deciding to film at the new location we finally started to film. The filming process ended up taking multiple days due to how long the film had to be, and filming different scenes. While filming we had to change the script slightly since my parents were better at memorizing the basis of the lines and then ad libbing. This slight change didn't change the storyline at all, nor did it change how the film was filmed. We started off by filming the first scene, which went well. It took a bunch of takes to finally get the correct shot for this scene, but it got completed. Throughout the filming process I learned to be very patient. I would get very frustrated sometimes when it would take a long time to film. However, I stopped getting frustrated and started to embrace the mistakes made and film scenes again. We filmed a couple of scenes on the first day, however, we couldn't finish the film in one day. I decided instead of rushing to film everyday, we would film on multiple days to make sure everything was okay. After the first day was done, I told my mother, my father, and my grandpa that we would film the next day. The next day came and I told everyone to wear the same things they wore the day previously. I decided that we needed to film a couple of scenes again to make them look better. We then decided to work on some new scenes, which ended up taking a long time. Specifically the car scene, since my reflection kept on reflecting off of the cars surface. However, we figured out how to film the car scenes after a little bit of critical thinking. I decided to have the car door already open when the kidnapper steps out to prevent the audience from seeing me. Also, when having to film the bathroom scene, it was a huge challenge since I also kept on reflecting off of the mirror. However, I overcame that obstacle by filming from my knees so then you couldn't see me in the mirror.
