Today we shot after school on Wednesday the 19th. On Monday (two days ago) we had film class, and we had booked equipment and took out equipment as we initially planned to film in our director's house. However, because of previously unforeseen circumstances and miscommunications, we had to cancel that shoot. So, we rescheduled for Wednesday instead.
During film class on Wednesday, we scouted several locations for the shoot in the afternoon. After the drama studio, and music rooms were ruled out, we finally found a perfect location: a small (relatively soundproof) meeting room in the University Counselling office with a small amount of windows. We asked for permission and it was approved. However, during class when we went to collect equipment, it turned out there was a miscommunication with Mr. Chiang and we had to talk it out, but at the end we got the necessary equipment for our afternoon shoot.
After school we went to the meeting room and starting shooting. Kevin had previously communicated with the actors, so they came with their costumes. We also got black fabric from the Art department and hung it over the windows to block out the light. However, then the construction right outside the office started, so we had to shoot whenever they stopped drilling. We set up very noirish low-key lighting, with only halves of their faces lit and harsh lighting, with a shutter-like overcast made by closing the lights' barn doors in a particular way. Then, the black rain arrived, so we had to work with the sound and then our delayed leave from school, but we rolled with the punches (and the water).
