The last scenes we needed to film were for Salem. Salem is played by my group mate Sophia. The character struggles with an unplanned teen pregnancy in the short film. This time, it would be Savanna and I collaborating on the directing and filming. I believe Salem had the least amount of individual scenes in comparison to me or Savanna. As a result, we shot these scenes fairly quick. We started with filming Sophia walk into the house. Just like when we filmed the scenes for the character Grace, we made sure to film at another angle so that it didn't look like we were entering the same house. A series of tracking shots and wide shots were used to show Salem (Sophia) enter her home. We began filming her scenes in the bedroom after getting inside. After filming, we realized that we were missing a prop for her scenes. We ended up having to go out to a local store to buy a pregnancy test for her scenes. However, this took longer than expected. When we arrived at the store, there was only one cashier and a long line. We decided it would be best to find another store instead of waiting 20 minutes. We didn't waste time and quickly arrived at the next store and bought the pregnancy test. As soon as we arrived back at the house, we began filming in the bedroom again. We used a series of wide shots, over the shoulder, and POV shots to film in the room before changing locations. We also made sure to film the bird's eye shot like the other two characters. In the bathroom, we used over the shoulder shots and close-ups to convey her emotions when learning the results of the pregnancy.
