Let the filming begin!

So, moving into the characters that would be in the film. The group was chosen based on availability, most of them, well all, being my friends. A recurring helper, my best friend Johanna, my friend Jacobo, and someone I met recently, Sophia. There were more people but they didn't have time or something came up. From the team, only Benjamin and I showed up. 

The team decided to record in late January so it was a tad cold but Everyone wanted to fit into the timeline so most of the team members were co-opperative dress attire-wise. I made sure everyone brought the necessary items given that the place was dark, so flashlights were required.

It took a while for the recording team to all show up, but once attendance was met, I set up most things to get ready to shoot. The first step was to clear the area and make a map of the areas we would visit throughout the recording. The team decided on a few areas, the first being the storage room with the skates previously mentioned. The group decided that Johanna and Jacobo would be the ones to visit this area during recording. The next area  put everyones hairs at edge, I mean it was actually frightening in the dark. The area was covered in graffiti and broken glass as well as some obscene and alarming. Nonetheless, it looked like the perfect area and so it was decided that Sophia, Benjamin, and I would be recorded here. Since I was the main character, it was decided that I would be the only one to move the the final area, the middle of the rink.

It was covered in sand and a few pieces of metal and glass here and there but I made sure to clean the area to ensure I wouldn't get hurt. After that was done, the area was mapped and the preparations were made for filming. That meant that we could start filming and the sun was starting to go down, perfect. The timing, the lighting, and the set was perfect, I  thought everything was perfect for filming, smooth, right?

Boy was I going to have fun.
