Spilled Toxic Chemicals

TODAY WE FILMED! 

Brooke and I knew from the beginning we were going to film our entire opening in one day. We planned last class to film all day today and we did. Once Brooke begins to edit, we'll see if we have to go back and film, but otherwise we're done filming! Here is how production went:

Cleaning it Up!

I had to wake up at 9AM to start cleaning my VERY messy room.

...then Brooke came over.

Last Minute Purchases

We remembered we needed to print pictures for the inn...spiration board, so we took a trip to CVS. I'm glad to report I made it through Brooke's questionable driving.

Setting it Up... Part 2!

Once we got back to my house, we began to set up the inn...spiration board and Amelia's room. I reorganized my furniture, changed my bedding (to make it look more adult and match the board), and put together the board. Here are pictures of the results.

Spilling Toxic Chemicals 

After that, we began to film. Our first shot is Amelia taking her cleaning supplies out of the car. I kept making mistakes during this first shot, so we filmed it about six times, one of which I may have spilled some cleaning supplies in Brooke's car. The same things happened once we got inside and started dropping the bucket onto the ground. That definitely wasn't the smartest idea we've had, but we learned from our mistake. On the bright side, some authentic cleaning was going on!

Bibble Interruption

My dog, Bibble, was really trying to be the star of the opening. Unfortunately, his paws don't work great for cleaning.. or holding.. or sweeping, so he did not make the cut.

The Fall of Inn...spiration

So the inn...spiration board arrived without a way to attach it to a wall, so we had to improvise. There was a small space between the board and the border it had, so we used that to hang it onto the wall, but it wasn't sturdy. It kept falling during filming which was really annoying, but we managed. Here is a video:

The Final Shot

We don't want to reveal too much of our opening yet, but here is our final shot!!

This shot is going to come after the title. It's Amelia going to grab her keys (because she has more houses to clean), but stopping to look at her inn...spiration board. It works to solidify her want for the inn to be real.
