First day of filming

On Sunday March 15 we spent the entire day from 2:00 pm till 10:00. We began at town center near the business offices to film the scenes where they see each other at work. We filmed the same shot about 7 to 12 times shooting in different angles and capturing shots to build sequences. I did that with many shots to be able to to have more variety and more perspectives, instead of having plain old medium shots. My role the whole day was filming, we used a professional camera and tripod I have used many times and using my knowledge and experience from filming I was able to show our stalkers thoughts in a newer perspective.
This was the scene we started with, we had our group members act for us and dressed them up to look like older adults in their late 20s/ early 30s.  The hardest part about filming this scene was the lighting, it was very sunny at the time we were filming and it made it darker by the door that was under a covering. So when they would walk from the sun into the shaded area I had to adjust the iris quickly but not too fast that the audience would be able to obviously notice. Lighting in general was a big issue we dealt with especially in the night scenes.  We needed our shots to be lit but we wanted it to still seem eerie we used flashlights and the light on our phones to light up Alvaro's face.
