One of the main challenges was finding a location. I wanted to find a place that would resemble an isolated world in ruin. A mise-en-scene that communicated decay and abandonment. Something that didn’t look like a normal suburban environment. Basically, nothing like Weston. While we initially thought that we had found the perfect spot, it turned out to be a little more public. People kept passing by and walking through our shots, interrupting our takes. I guess it was not as secluded as we had hoped. These interruptions made it more difficult to maintain consistency in the scene.
Staying on the theme of setting, the environment also seemed to be working against us. It began raining unexpectedly; this slowed down the production and affected the physical aspects of the location. The ground was muddy and difficult to work with, which made tracking shots hard to master. I also ended up stepping on some poop! I still don't know where it came from… The day seemed to drag on. However, not everything was bad.
Despite some troubles, it was still a fun and incredible experience, which gave us a bunch of high-quality shots, which were essential while I was editing the film to look like a deserted world. I was surprised by how cinematic the footage looked. Another plus was that we finished all of our dialogue scenes that day. This accomplishment allowed us to focus more on the establishing shots. This was also a major milestone for us and set us up for success on the next day of filming.
