Filming Day 1!

Today we filmed our first two scenes in the forest at Markham Park. one is the scene after Daniel passes out in the doctor office and wakes up in the creepy forest and the other is the car crash where Daniel's parents die.
Over the shoulder shot of Daniel (me) reaching out to parents
     We came in with a story board of the basic things we wanted to film but we also came up with many new ideas on the spot. For example we thought of a great idea to have Daniels parents (played by two other group members Gaby and Felipe) standing all creepy next to each other in the forest calling his name and saying "Daniel come with us" while they are walking away. Daniel proceeds  to chase after his parents but can never seem to catch up. He gets closer and closer until he trips over a log, in a last ditch effort he extends his arm towards his parents, shown in an over the shoulder shot but they are too far away. The camera begins to move from Daniels left shoulder to behind his head till his parents aren't visible anymore and finally, when the camera gets past Daniel's head and over his right shoulder his parents are gone.
Car Crash Scene
    The next scene we filmed was the car crash. To make it look somewhat believable and for some cool shots we bought a glass bottle and broke it to look like broken glass from a car window. I ended up cutting my finger in multiple places but then i just continued to rub the blood on the bottle (as you can see in the picture) to make it look even more believable but then Agustina made me put a band aid on :(. We filmed this scene with close ups in and outside of the car and with a shot from the floor of me walking over the broken glass and going a picking up  what are supposed to me my "mom's" glasses that were on the floor after the crash. We are really happy with what we accomplished today and cant wait to start editing these scenes and film the last one in the doctors office tomorrow!
