Filming at the Galleria Mall

The second part of my filming proved itself to be very difficult. First, the filming was supposed to be over the weekend, at an abandoned building near the beach. This, however, did not go as planned. I found out a few days before filming that the building I wanted to use had been demolished, so I could no longer film there. I also lost some actors the day before because they had plans of their own. Since my partner and I filmed over spring break, some of the actors were on vacation or had to do their own filming. Hence, I had to initiate the backup plans. First, instead of filming at the abandoned building which was no longer available, my partner and I decided to film at the Galleria Mall. This was perfect as I knew a certain spot that would be very good for the theme. It was a secluded set of hallways with wiring and old office doors. I called the mall ahead of time to make sure filming was allowed there and they granted the permission. My partner also suggested that the filming should be split into two days. The first day of filming would be with the villain, Elena. The second would be with the dead body extras. My partner and I only shot a few scenes, but spent over an hour at the mall. The hardest scene for me to film was the scene where I was running and had to drive away. I had difficulty with my sisters car as I had never driven it before, so I had to split it into two scenes. Most of my part of filming today was videography. Sophia did most of the acting, and I did mostly filming. The hardest shot to film was probably the one in which Sophia falls to the ground. I wanted to make sure she was as safe as possible so I had to do many takes. Overall, it was a good day of filming.
