Second Day of Filming

     My second day of filming took place on Saturday in my home. The only actors needed to be the main character Neil, and my real mother who is playing his mother in the film opening. There is a pretty continuous stream of dialogue between the two characters which only took a little time to nail down after rehearsing with the characters. In order to capture this audio as the camera travels through the house, I had set up two cell phones and used the microphone of the headphones taped to the character's chest to record the audio from both of the characters directly and I had both of the characters clap on camera to sync all of the tracks.

     It also took a couple of days to bring the props over to my house and arrange them throughout my room and the bookshelf in the family room. The longest part was cleaning my room and hiding my stuff to make enough space to clearly see the props. 
     I am downloading the footage to my computer and going over it, to find the clips I can work with. I hopefully have all the shots and clips I need. I do need to capture good sound bites of the mother chopping up vegetables and sounds of the bats and gloves as well as when the ball hits the bat.
