Day 2 of filming

A lot of filming needs to still be done.  Due to the time constraints, we're absolutely resolute to finish filming this week.  We made a schedule that consists of filming all day Thursday and Friday, and spend the weekend editing.

In order to get ahead, Clara, Vir, and I allocated time in class to record audio - specifically, we recorded Diego's two friends' banter over the computer.  The role of the two goons was played by Manny and Jack L, who are both in our media class.  We thought that their voices fit the part pretty well, and we knew that both of them had prior experience with acting and film.  So, we got our little squad together, borrowed a mic from the TV equipment closet, and set up shop in the studio (which provided the perfect isolation from outside sound).

We were able to get a lot of good clips, which we're gonna put over footage of Diego on his PC.  At first, we were a little apprehensive of recording the audio separately, as we feared it would be complicated to edit into a cohesive conversation.  Regardless, our actions stemmed mainly from necessity, and I believe that the sentences are short and snippy enough to work in the context of the overall piece.

            

After school, Clara and Virginia came over to film many of the scenes were were missing that didn't include Jack.  These consisted of the close-ups to the monkey calendar juxtaposed to close-ups of Virginia's character Ericka, which when edited together will create a montage sequence linking Diego's perception of the monkey with sex. 

             

After this, we started editing together the footage that we have already recorded.  This only makes up about half of Act 1 and about a third of Act 2, but it's good progress nonetheless.  For now, we're gonna focus on the print component and the social media page until we can film again.
