Lights, Camera, Action!

Lights, Camera, Action

It’s time for the real deal… Filming! March 13th was our first day of filming, and it was 

pretty exciting. We were planning to film the last scene of Margo and Liam in the car first 

and then filming the school scenes because Tomas was only available during school 

hours. Paola made sure to wear her black crop top, jeans, and high tops to school, and I 
made sure to charge my camera and bring it to school.

In the beginning, we had some issues with the camera because the SIM card that was 

installed did not have enough storage (only 64 MB!), but I was lucky to have packed an 

extra SIM card with GB this time. So, we quickly switched the SIM cards and went on to 

film.

My group members, Tomas, and I went to the parking lot to film the last scene of Margo and 

Liam in the car. We decided to film this scene in Tomas’s Jeep since it was aesthetically 

pleasing and the easiest to film in since it had a lot of space. I sat in the trunk and positioned 

the camera to only show the backs of Tomas and Paola. Here is an image of what the setup 

looked like.

After filming this scene, we walked to the Wave to film the school scenes. We were lucky 

because there were numerous desks still in the Wave from SAT testing and it was quiet; 

therefore, we took advantage of these conditions and arranged the desks to make it look 

like a classroom. While I filmed, we had extras (Sara, Rafa, and Isabella) sitting behind 

them to make it seem like a crowded classroom.

Also, we have decided to film the opening artistic scenes at Paola’s house during the 

weekend or privilege. I will let you know how filming went next time!

Bye for now!
