Production/Filming Blog - 2/19/24

The only thing left that we wanted to do was a dutch angle. The bookshelf was filled to the brim, so we just took some of them out. After gently placing them down, we took our last custom book prop. We liked how it looked placed on its side diagonally. Sammie got her camera and filmed a pan shot of the whole bookshelf. This was alright, but it did not give us the intended effect. To fix this issue, Sammie got closer to the prop itself. She then turned the camera to align it with the book. It looked great, and we were all happy with the result. We got everything we needed at that point. After checking the list one more time, we walked around the store for any remaining shots we could get. Assuming that the video was going to be too long already, we left. On the ride back, we discussed the problem with the music. Since Colin Greenwood was a dead end, we needed a new pick. Radiohead was still our first choice. Other than that song, we didn't have many lined up. Maybe a classical piece? Those were all copyright free. This would eliminate the issue of getting permission. We decided that we would figure it out once we had the video fully edited. As we pulled into Sammie's driveway, we got prepared to piece together all our footage.
