After reviewing our footage from the first time we filmed, we had noticed some mistakes. Firstly, in the scene where Juan is in the car, he is supposed to be getting out. When we filmed, I had told him to be getting in, when in the storyboard it was meant to be the opposite. Another thing wrong with that is that, to be getting out, he would be at his girlfriend’s house. When we originally filmed it, it was outside his lover’s house, so the setting was also incorrect. We also noticed that Mariapaula had left her eye drops in the scene of her crying in the back. As well as in the frost two scenes we couldn’t see her phone that well in general. This made it difficult to see the photos of her and Juan. I went to Key West for Thanksgiving break, so I was unable to film during the first few days (Tuesday-Thursday)
However, Mariapaula had already been planning to help Emily and her group with their music video. So she used the opportunity to ask them to help reshoot the first two scenes. As I wasn’t needed for this, it was easy for them to reshoot. When I got back on Thursday, we had planned to reshoot the next day but had to cancel because of personal problems. We then rescheduled for Sunday. When the day came, Juan had come over to my house and we waited for Mariapaula to pick us up. We drove to her house and filmed the scene where Juan gets out of the car. We had the car on neutral and told him to set it to parking and go to turn off the engine. As he was turning it off, he was to look at the flowers in the driver seat and we panned the camera to it. This scene took only about three or four takes.
Next, we wanted to add a scene of Juan "driving" back home. Juan is unable to drive so someone else had to do the driving. Since we were at Mariapaula's house and using he car, she did it. She was also her mom's daughter and the only one with a license. So, she drove the car out of the driveway and slightly down the street. When I started recording there had been a car in the way not moving. So we had to wait for them to move the car in order to record. After that, I had angled the camera to face the house from the left and across the street. I stood still as Mariapaula drove by and into the driveway. This scene was also pretty easy. It only took about two or three takes. After this scene, we were finished and reviewed all of the footage put together.
