Our first day of filming was today, March 13. We were able to get some good footage of our main character for the end of the film, and as her younger self. This means that we are filming out of order, but this will be an easy obstacle when editing because the characters and scenes are separated by age.
Our first challenge was how busy the gym was, which meant that we could not film a lot of dialogue, as it would hard to understand the characters. However, we were able to get a lot of shots of the characters performing skills, and of course the character failing at the skills. The main character we are using is super outgoing and comfortable in front of the camera, which is great. We were able to get a few shots with dialogue of her and I think they turned out well. She was not awkward, and I thought that was really important if someone is going to be a main character. The girl that we are using for her as a little bit more grown up was very excited to get to be in our film. She kept wanting to be in more scenes and asking what she could do next. It started to get late, and some of the girls needed to leave so we were not able to continue filming.
An issue that we have during these upcoming weeks is that Eugenia's team has their biggest competition next week and are in practice mode and taking everything seriously. This makes it hard to find time to film because we do not want to interrupt their practices. We are glad we got a good amount of footage today, which we can start editing and using for our social media. We plan to edit and work on our print component in the meantime until we can finish filming. We may be able to over the weekend, while during the rest of the week, Eugenia can try to get some shots during her practice. She will update us on when the best times are.
