Start of Filming

Jania and I starting filming! For the flashback scenes, we want to film our protagonist doing his morning routine, driving to work, working at his job, taking a break, having lunch, and driving from work. So far we've, filmed him driving to work and him having lunch. We had planned to film more than that in one go, but we realized we didn't have the character's costume which was necessary for filming the work scene and the break scene.

We were able to film our "driving to work" scene fairly quickly since it's our simplest flashback. We kept our shots fairly standard and simple because of how short we want to keep this snippet of a memory. After that, we filmed our protagonist having lunch, and things went very smoothly. 

Once we were done filming those two scenes, we went out to buy our main character's work clothing. Our protagonist is a park sanitation worker, so we wanted to get one of those bright yellow, reflective vests for him to wear, similar to what construction workers use. 

We went to Party City first, but we couldn't find a construction worker costume that wasn't for toddlers, so we went next door to Home Depot, and we were actually able to find a proper costume for our actor. 

Even though we didn't too film much, overall, I'm feeling good about the stuff we got done and it's left me excited to do more. Next time we film we'll be able to film our work scene and our break scene, which are the two most important flashbacks.
