The agonizing tale of getting the Filming done.

So after the TV was sorted out. I finally started to film my project. After hours of watching. Rod Serling talking about the mysteries of the Twilight Zone. I was ready to go. So I began in Room 222. filming my second script with Thomas. It actually took a bit to start filming as I had to figure out how to get the camera to film. As the camera I got was primarily a photography camera. I could of filmed on a phone camera but I wanted a tripod to simulate that studio camera look.

The first shots were easy to get as I only required Thomas to write on a piece of paper and chuckle to himself.  And I also wanted to add a blur transition similar to that to the Twilight Zone Episode Shadow Play.

Then it was my turn to speak to the camera, The plan was to speak an entire paragraph in one take while remaining eye contact. Filming all scenes with me doing the monologue required this. Most of the time I'd get a tongue twist or forget the lines. It was a struggle. I feel bad for Zeta-rose, who helped me film.

 

However I continued on. The third script was also filmed in Room 222, I stood in front of a blue wall, which later in editing proved to be helpful. (Thanks to Caleb)

The last Script, which was Script one had to be filmed on a different day as Upstage was taken on the day of the first filming.

This reading proved to be the hardest. As of constant flubbing and lack of memory. It was also because of how complicated I wrote the script. But that day I saved myself as I decided to film my television so I really only had to read half of the script looking at the camera.

Also I had problem with background noise as people were very loud in the common room.
So I had to maneuver around the noise.
