Anomaly: The Journal Entry Day 3

Tuesday, March 4th 2015

It was a school day. We wanted to shoot on the weekends but the actors couldn't. So we came up with an alternate plan of shooting it after school. We shot at a restaurant/bar. We already had the permissions to shoot there, we called the management and got the authorisation.
After we got extra film equipment that we borrowed from the school (Lights, boom pole) the crew proceeded to the location as I went home as the actors was showering at my house. You could say I was a little late to the set. After I arrived, We noticed that there were some other students that were on the location first, so we couldn't shoot. They were noisy. Since its not good to just kick them out, we just used the time to think how we could make the scene better as we set up the equipment.

After they were gone, we started to shoot. We shot the scene where I (Smith) was getting the future dweller from Haneef (John) with a little surprise. Last minute adjustments, I thought that "so I am in a bar with no drinks?" Thats where the alcohol (Iced Tea) came up the idea.

Thats one of the things I like about making movies, we could use our imaginations. If the setting was in a bar, automatically the audience would react that it was alcohol, when its really not. Really. We did a lot of takes in this scene. 

There were a lot of takes with this take. The problem was the gun prop. It keeps messing up, it was supposed to be all cool and professional but we decided to not to do it because we were losing daylight already.
