Day one of filming our opening scene was challenging, but it also helped us figure out the tone of the whole project. Since it was just the two of us, we had to handle everything on our own, and filming was difficult in the dark and small bedroom. The low lighting made it hard to keep the scene clear while still making it feel tense and took a lot of patience. We had to redo several shots to capture the character’s nervous movements, like the shaking hands without losing the emotional impact.
Even with the tough moments, the day ended on a strong note. Once we got used to the space and found a rhythm, the shots started to look the way we imagined. Another challenge we came across was capturing the pill bottle rolling without getting our hands pushing it within the shot, after many tries we managed to find a way to push it off the desk by shaking it instead of using our hands. We also ultimately decided not to include a scene climbing out of the window and instead just including shots before and after to imply the action to avoid endangering our actor since the bedroom was on the second floor. Overall, filming went well and mostly according to plan, and I can see our project coming together already.
