Good Days On My Mind

 Filming has always been a process I have enjoyed. My passion for filming is the reason I was assigned as the designated filmer. My ideas flow well and it inspires creativity for my group. On today's day of filming, we went to the fair. Driving to the fair was very difficult and traffic moved very slowly. However, finding parking was very easy due to paid parking spots being provided. The original plan was to follow our storyboard as closely as possible. We still implemented this concept except when we imagined high-quality scenes. For instance, when heading from the parking space to the fair, Jacob manifested a great idea. His idea was to film our actors looking at the fair from behind them. Through the camera lens, the shot looked perfect and we were ready to move on. We followed the storyboard as precisely as possible. Similar to our past filming day, our actors struggled with remaining in character. A solution I made for this problem was to film them secretly to relieve the robotic feeling. For each scene, I filmed from different angles, shots, camera movements to keep and delete which takes we like. I filmed each actor walking to each fair ride, getting their wristbands, participating in fair games, and even eating food. During the filming process of filming, I was able to capture iconic shots like the Ferris wheel and even a high-angle shot from the Ferris wheel. Although we were filming for the assignment and the concept was to pretend like you're having a good day, we truly had fun. We had lots of laughter and new memories that we were able to capture on film. As it was getting later at night, the lights of the fair enhanced the quality of the scenes. The lightning change made our film colorful and bright. Gradually throughout the film, you could see the sky getting darker and the lights getting brighter. It was truly a mesmerizing sight. The final scenes we filmed were the actors leaving the fair in a group hug. Showing that they truly had fun.
