Filming Blog: Grace's Scenes

 After filming Chloe's scenes, we proceeded to film Grace's scenes. Grace is played by my teammate Savanna, so Sophia and I had to collaborate on the directing and videography. Savanna focused on her part in the screenplay and made sure to take direction, as well as chime in. We all had a hand in directing and acting and will collaborate on editing as well. Grace struggles with arguing parents so we didn't film too many scenes outside of her bedroom. Before we got there, we filmed her walking into the house. We made sure to film this at a separate angle than the ones for me so that it would seem like we were in different houses. Savanna entered through a side door instead of the garage door like me. We then filmed the quick seconds that she's in the hallways of her house. The objective was to make it look like she was sneaking around her parents to avoid their bickering. We used tracking shots and medium close-ups to show her sneaking through the living room before going to her room. We then see a long shot of Grace in her room, closing the door, and sitting on the floor. While in the bedroom, we continued to follow Grace though her journey trying to tune out her parents. We used close-ups and medium close-ups to show the expression on her face as she goes through the motions. In the scene, she closes the door and falls to the ground crying, the shot is filmed from somewhat of a high angle. Another scene shows her in a similar position, but on her bed (close-up). Then, we used the bird's eye shot to mimic the one Chloe did. Along with this, we showed her grabbing the headphones and placing them in her ears. Instead of having bathroom scenes like Chloe, Grace turns to another way of coping. We filmed a wide shot of her getting into bed and falling asleep.
