After many days of deciding what scene we were going to film first, we finally decided to get to filming. Because it was more convenient for all of us, we decided to stay after school to film the scene that takes place in a high school hallway. The first issue we came across was with the camera. We had forgotten to bring a stabilizer for the camera and were forced to simply hold it. The first shot we filmed was a tilt up starting from my feet up to my face. This was done in order to amp up the intensity of the confrontation. One issue we encountered with this camera shot other then it being shaky is the fact that the camera would focus on my feet and then would not focus on my face once we tilted up. We had to decide if we wanted my face or feet in focus and we concluded it would be more beneficial to see my emotions. The rest of the scene was not as difficult to film.
