One Day at Grace's: Sister Location

    This is the fourth and final production post of our project. In this post, I will talk about the rest of our production, which was shot at another location. So alas, without further ado, continuing with this thought, let's just jump straight into it.

The Filming

    This part of the production was shot at a plaza near Grace's house since we were filming the scenes where Alice was outside of the therapist's office. This required Maiya to walk to her car and pull out her phone to answer the mysterious caller. The second time around she would try to call the mysterious caller herself, but before she can dial the number she gets called by them first. This was a little weird to film since the shot was very dynamic and showed plenty of different angles in the same shot. Since I was not handling the camera, I was not needed and had to hide behind a pillar whenever we needed to film. This was the same for Rachel, and she kept the script safe the whole time since there were some big gusts of wind that would blow through occasionally. Before she was holding it the script almost blew away and we had to chase it down. That would have been annoying...

    Anyways, what I ended up doing was that I would call Maiya as the "mysterious caller" while hiding behind the pillar. This was just like earlier at the house where I had to time it every time I called her. Now I am going to admit it, I was yapping with Rachel a lot of the time and missed a few cues when I needed to call. Buuuut, I ended up focusing and getting it done in the end so it turned out fine. This was a very quick shoot and we were in and out in 30-45 minutes. 

A Quick Problem With A Quick Solution

    When we were doing the last shot of the exterior scene, we came up with a really cool transition idea for the next loop. That was when we realized that we had not filmed the last few seconds where the second loop happens. This part is meant to show the direction the movie is headed at the end of our opening. With this realization, we headed back and shot the last scene. The only problem with this was that Rachel had to change back into Schultz's outfit again after she had JUST changed out of it before we went on our excursion. We ended up filming that last scene pretty quickly after that. We only had to film it for a few minutes and that was it.

    And...…that's a wrap, folks! The production segment of this project felt pretty smooth and I am excited for the post-production phase! I really want to try and get those integrated credits to fit into the environment, which I will surely be talking about for at least one of my posts coming soon.
