Hello Blog Readers!
I'm happy to report that yesterday's filming session was successful! Huge shoutout to my mom, who stepped in to shoot every scene (and put up with my last minute change). Here are some BTS pictures from when we filmed as well as the clips I will be editing together this week on Premier Pro. I plan to record the voiceover once I cut the files to get an idea of how fast/slow I have to speak.

My Reflection
Overall, I think changing the plot was a blessing in disguise, it gave me more creativity to include interesting transitions that are part of Sylvie's representation, and a new perspective on creating media. I realized that being a director is MUCH harder than it seems, and the amount of thought that goes into each clip is insane. For example, I had to explain to my mom what headroom, composition, and camera movements were so that she could get the right shot.
One transition in particular that I'm very excited to add is the bedroom to kitchen one. I thought I could take the opportunity to edit a sequence of match shots, starting with a turning doorknob, followed by a series of different round magnets of different countries (from my dad's magnet board), and ending with a high angle shot of a round glass of water that Sylvie is drinking in the kitchen.
I thought the magnets could be a nice touch, once again reinforcing Sylvie's desire to travel and even foreshadowing that she will later on in the continuation of the film (Essentially a glimpse of the future).
Here's the tutorial that I found to learn how to edit these takes together smoothly.
