Filming Day 1 (Inside the Train Cart)

 

    Day 1 one filming went well. As I mentioned earlier I was filming at the Florida gold coast railroad museum. We had a 90 minute slot in so we had to film every shot. We first started to film inside the train. They had many tables and chairs so it was difficult to move around them. It was not very easy to shoot inside the train since the reflection on the glass would show many people in the background so we would need to move around a lot. It was eventually completed, not after many trial and error. There was a lot of finicky windows and doors that had to be removed in order to get into the train cart. We proceeded to film outside the train were our actors would be walking and talking. This was much easier to film than the previous scenes. We did have some issues with the dialogue since there was music in the train station. We decided to film the audio using someone's phone and put it into his pocket to record. That solved the problem quite well. The final scene that we had to film was the workers working on the railroad. The scene was a little hard to film since my shadow kept getting in the way. We waited for the clouds to cover up the sun and we could film more easily. We finished right on the 90 minute mark. We finished up filming for the day.
