Filming

Today was a pretty successful day of filming. We got the whole first scene done. It didn't take too long because we were all clear on what we were going to do. This wasn't the case two days ago, when we got about 7 minutes of footage which, due to bad planning, became useless. The only issue we had today was being able to make our blanket filled trash bag look like a dead body. The blanket kept coming out of the bag as I dragged it. But I guess we did a good job because a police officer actually came up to us and interrogated us. We showed her the blankets to assure her that she had only been deceived by our mine-en-scene and no dead people were being dumped out in the open. Also, to simulate the sound of the other body in the trunk, we threw Miguel in there and he was surprisingly good at crashing against the walls of the car's trunk. We're not bad friends... Miguel was having a great time. Plus, sometimes someone just has to take one for the team.
