Construction: Day 1 of Filming

Filming: Day 1

First day of filming went well as we kept to task on what we were planning on filming in the first place. We filmed the very first scene which was the part where Rihanna (Ralia) is performing in the studio. My group and I focused on the basic shots at first, in order to get the simple shots (medium shots, long shots, close ups etc.) out of the way. I must admit we filmed much more than I expected because I thought that the part where we wanted to film would only have a limit on what we wanted to do, but as we kept on filming we started having more ideas which took much longer that I expected it to be.

The whole filming went well. I was quite impressed by the lighting of the filming as the striking lighting upon Rihanna's face was more defining, brighter and prettier leading her to actually looking like she is a pop-star. What also went well is that we even successfully filmed more than I expected as we even filmed a variety of shots that I didn't expect to film.

What did not go well is that we were even planning on filming the next scene since we even completed the first scene which we had plenty of time, unfortunately my camera died which disrupted everything so instead we just worked on our blog.

Overall, everything went well according to our plan and we are hoping to record the next scene which is the cemetery part, where we begin to narrate the story line.
