STEP 3: Lights, Camera, Action!
Filming is (obviously) an extremely
vital component in the movie making scheme. Cinematography is, as I
have previously stated, not my forte. Thus developing the script into
a visual format is left to Camera Queen Leah K.
However, I am by no means left out of
the filming process. Even if I'm not acting in front of a camera or
an audience, I have found an excellent past-time: being behind a
camera filming Leah behind the camera. Behind the scenes clips are my
thing- watching and filming- so I get a close-up view of how the
movie making is done.
Filming has it's own set of
challenges. If it rains it pours, (see BTS Files: Rained Out) if it's
a fifteen frame scene it's a fifty take day. Being on set or location
can be a tedious task, but it can also one of the lots of fun (see
What REALLY happens while we're filming). It's when you finally see
that plot that's been in your head come to life. When those strokes
of ink on a page turn into sounds coming from someone's voice. By the
end of the day, you may have only completed a three minute section,
but that's three minutes more than you had before (and trust me,
we're grateful for every minute we get!)
