Shooting

Overall, shooting was a success.
It was a two-day process but we got plenty of footage. Ricardo and I fear we might have too much, but that will be fixed in editing.
The reason why shooting took two days was because we were waiting for a package to arrive, and we had to film the final two shots with it.
Our actor, who was from Orlando and attending the University of Central Florida, drove nearly 4 hours and shot all his scenes in a couple of hours. We also shot his scenes first so that he would not have to get back so late. This created a huge limitation as we couldn't get a shot of them together to show their relationship, which was such a big part of the plot.
Other than that, shooting was relatively smooth. The camera I found was easy to use, and I found creative ways of getting great shots. For example, in Ricardo's emotional scene, I first slid down the wall of the shower, and as he stood, then shifted to the other side of the bathtub. The shot ended up looking great, and I was impressed with my camerawork.
