Yesterday Bailey and I got the first couple of shots for our film! However, many problems arose when we decided to film it. To begin, we initially thought of using a spot within my house for the bar as we were able to manipulate the lighting a lot, but we couldn't get the invisionment we wanted. So we took to other parts of the house, which is when we found the lighting of the garage being just what we needed. That is when we began to have ideas as to how we would make a bar within the garage. Bailey had been able to receive a black cart that was originally intended to be our makeshift dolly, but it was not able to stabilize the shot well enough when coupled with movement. We, in turn, used the cart as the bar. We put a piece of wood I had laying around atop the "dolly", providing us with the ability to move it where we needed it with ease. I then grabbed a ladder and used that as the tripod for our shot.
The next issue to resolve was the background. It looked like a garage more so than a bar, so we grabbed a sheet and taped the corners to certain pinpoints, making a scene that resembled a bar on camera. The final product is seen in the photo below.
We had a couple difficulties such as the sheet falling off repeatedly and framing the shot to include everything while not showing the actual garage, but the result of what we made, I believe, turned out fairly well!
