We had our first day of filming this week! We were supposed to film on 2/19 and 2/22, but Meadow couldn't make it on Monday the 19th, so we only filmed on Thursday. We changed our second production day to be on Monday the 26th. We are filming our opening at Big Cat Habitat. We arrived at 4:30 on Thursday the 19th to start filming. All of the actors (Peyton, Sydney, Meadow, and I) wore black hoodies with the hood up, black/ dark colored shoes, and black pants. We were shooting to look like people breaking in. We achieved this look fairly well, and we looked pretty real. We made sure to walk into the habitat after we broke into it. We walked in an orderly line. On the Friday (the day after filming) we started to try and gather our clips together. Some special moments that happened during our first day of filming is that Meadow brought all of us Starbucks! Having a sweet treat definitely gave us all motivation and energy to get to work. There were many moments when our skills were really put to the test. During the scene where Sydney and Meadow get out of the truck, it took a lot of patience for our person filming (Ella). She had to keep retaking it because they either didn't close the door perfectly or someone would start laughing. Ella found it funny at first, but her patience was definitely tested as well as mine and the rest of my group. Also, the lock breaking scene took a whole bunch of tries. We kept rotating from person to person on who was going to break the lock. Each time we tried we would miss and only hit the metal gate. Eventually Meadow tried and hit the lock perfectly, this resulted in us getting a really good shot! I found it hard not to laugh when we walked through the gate. It was a very awkward scene to film as the camera was pointed right at you when you walked out. It took a few tries as I mainly kept laughing, but we did end up getting a really good shot of that as well!
