day #1 of filming/problems

The first day of filming can be summarized with one word: mediocre, there was an undeniable problem that we possibly could not of avoided: weather. On the particular day we choose to film it was completely overcast, going against what the film is about. To invoke the right sensations from the audience we needed a bright and radiant day there, and there was no way we were going to circumvent this given our limited resources. The acting was not confidence inspiring either, so I as the director especially, found it little more piercing to the original image I had in mind; both Aaron and the undisclosed female originally had problems reciting lines, and once that occurred I knew the film day was not was successful as we intended.

Besides that, the first day of filming did serve as a way to quantify the length of the film and resulted in being a subsidiary rehearsal day for everybody. Although that was not the intension I had coming into this, it suppose it was best todo, there may of been problems if we thought got everything right the first take, one of the worst things especially is succumb to the idea of perfection.
