To shoot our film, we went over to Mariapaula's house to use as the setting for the music video. Our friend, Emily, had checked out a camera from our teacher on Thursday. She also came over so we could both utilize the camera (as she wanted also film at her house and wanted our help). Mariapaula played as the girlfriend in the relationship. We invited our friend Juan to come and be the boyfriend in the relationship. Before we actually began to film anything, I took some photos of Juan and Mariapaula to place in the background (her phone). After we took the photos, we began filming our first scene. This scene was fairly simple, since all it was was Mariapaula sitting on the couch, with the TV on and scrolling through the photos that we took of them. In the next scene, it was a closer angle of her showing tears (that were made using eye drops) and a closer look of her phone, as she wipes away her tears and gets up. This led to a scene of Mariapaula in the kitchen "cooking" dinner for herself and her boyfriend. This was a high angle and I had to hold the camera above her for this. After this, we shot the scene where the two are in bed facing away and Juan is wide away as his "girlfriend" is crying. This was a high angle, as I held the camera directly above them. We quickly shot a small scene in the same room of Juan just staring at the wall while he's in bed.
Then, we began to shoot the scenes using the car and him leaving his affair's house. Mariapaula's family knows and is friends with their neighbors, so we used their front door and driveway to film these shots. Firstly we shot Juan getting into the car, putting his seatbelt on, putting his hands on the wheel, and looking at the flowers we placed in the passenger seat. This took a couple tries, but we finally got the best and quickest one. Next, I had to pretend to be Juan and pull out of the driveway in the car since Juan doesn't have his license yet. I was wearing a similar top and bands as him to attempt the best to look like him. This scene was somewhat difficult as I could only look to the left when pulling out and Mariapaula had to look to the right for me so I could pull out safely; this was in order for the camera to not see my face. Our friend Emily was also playing as Juan's affair, and was waving goodbye to the car as we pulled out. Next, we filmed a scene where Juan and his affair are leaving his affair's "house." As mentioned before, we used Mariapaula's neighbor's house to film this scene. This scene was very easy to shoot, as all it was was Juan walking out with Emily following right behind him.
For the last few scenes, we returned into Mariapaula's house. Mariapaula's dad had brought pizza and her mom had brought leftovers from a restaurant she had came back from. We used the pizza and the leftover as props for the scene with the dinner. In this scene, we arranged the table to have candles and plates facing across from each other. Mariapaula them walks into the scene with two plates, places one on Juan's side and one on her side as she sits down. This entire time, we had Juan use my phone to pretend that he is texting someone and laughing. For this scene we had used the tripod to keep a still and steady image of the scene. In the scene that follows directly after, it was a close-up of Juan holding my phone. We renamed Mariapaula's contact to a fake name which is supposed to be that of his affair: Vanessica. I went on Mariapaula's phone and spammed love-related emojis (hearts, heart eyes, etc.) and she filmed the phone receiving them
