Day 1 of Filming: Feeling the Vibes and Envisioning the Set

Hey blog! Thankfully, my partner is back!!! We didn't actually start filming yet (because of the problem discussed earlier), but we did some "feeling the area" and envisioning how everything will look. We took videos of her house, and we brought all our props to place it down and get a sense of the space. Let's dive into the details!

Feeling the Area

We wanted to get a feel for the space and see how our set design would come together. We took some videos and pictures of the house, and we started putting where everything would go. It was more about getting a sense of the vibe and making sure our vision aligns with the space.

This image and the one above it showcases the location of our first scene. This will be the area where Ethan finds the "help wanted" poster.

This video explores the scenery around the mansion. The plants and the nature all around the house is perfect for filming. Since our last few scenes occur at the garden, we will be utilizing this area.

Lilly will be walking down from this elegant, curved wooden staircase. It features dark wooden steps and railings creating a visually appealing focal point in the room. Perfect for capturing those 70s vibes!

The front door of the house where an elderly couple will open it and welcome Ethan. This spot sets the perfect welcoming tone for our scenes.

Ethan's bedroom, where he'll look at Lilly in the garden through the window. The spacious room with beige walls and white shutters creates the perfect setting for a heartfelt scene.

Setting the Scene

We brought all our props and set pieces to the house and placed them around to see how they fit. It was like a mini dress rehearsal for our set design. We wanted to make sure everything looked perfect before we started filming for real.

Challenges and Solutions

Of course, there were some challenges. For example, we realized that some of the furniture didn't quite fit the way we imagined. But no worries! We moved things around and made adjustments until everything looked just right. It was all about being flexible and creative.

Final Thoughts

Overall, it was a productive day of feeling the area and envisioning our set design. We're excited to start filming soon and bring our 70s rom-com to life. Stay tuned for more updates!
