38. Filming Day 2 (Room)

This day was filming the shots of just my (V's) shots in the room. 

I was alone filming this and I had to re-film a few times to get everything in shot, since I couldn't see the camera. 

The window, again, was an issue. The way I had the shot originally planned had the window in frame, but I had to angle it to remove the blinding, white spot in the shot.

The original shot, with the window in the frame.

The new shot, without the window. 

Even with the angle change, the light was still a focal point with how bright it was, and the white curtains were drawn over the window. 

For the title shot, I wanted it to be an overhead shot so I did that. 

The camera placement attempt to do and overhead shot.

I thought I had to do it like this to get a good shot, with the video the right way. However, it was incredibility difficult to see what I was doing, because I had to be under the tripod to flip the paper title. Plus the camera was shaking to make sure I still did the actions required for the shot. Then I realized, I could film upside down and flip it in editing. 

The better attempt at filming the title.

To have it leaning forward, to get the shot, I stacked some books under the tripod to give it the overhead angle. This did give me the shot I wanted. Then in the camera app I flipped the entire video to be right-side up.

I did also slightly change the idea for the shot too, since I didn't write the title on the sketchbook paper, there was no reason for my head to be in frame anymore and I didn't have to push the sketchbook up. 

Since I was by myself, I couldn't get any deep focuses, and I have learned that you 100% need another person to do deep focuses.
