Filming at Night

Shooting at night presented a whole new set of issues. Getting the lighting to look realistic but still clear was time consuming, although not that difficult. The biggest problem was just finding cords and monitoring the audio in the dark.

In the scene we were filming, a car hurriedly pulls up to a house. And, since we were filming on trash night, we decided it would be funny if when the car pulled up, it hit a trash can.

On the first take, Keith, the driver, lightly tapped the trash can. The second time he nailed the can, but people were laughing in the background. On the third take , he smashed into the trash and came close to hitting my car. We decided to stop there, since one more take and he probably would have hit my car.

While editing the scene, there was still a little laughing in the background, but I was able to edit it out.
