Post #39 Filming mistakes

 While recording for my opening sequence, I discovered that mistakes happen in almost every shot. This may be frustrating and slowing for others. However, when I encountered mistakes, I learned about ways to work around them.

For instance, I did not completely understand how to edit Charlotte's doppleganger's face to look dismorphed. To fix this, I had my mom do my makeup to make me look as if I am an uncanny valley person. This worked, as I did not look normal when shooting the shots including the alternate. 

Another example may be when my mom recorded the "Chasing After Mochi" or "running" shot. We has to redo this shot multiple times because she could not follow my footwork fast enough. However, as I continued to rewatch the footage, I found that it looked good as is.

Additionally, I forgot my gold necklace at home when it was a key symbol for one of the scenes with Charlotte's alternate. This acted as Charlotte's gold necklace and I would have the alternate steal it from her. Consequently; I had to make my dad run back home and get it.

Furthermore, I made the mistake of dropping my phone in the mud while recording. This resulted in the camera becoming dirty and foggy. Surprisingly, it did not upset me as much as reshooting scenes, so I did not let it discourage me by walking back home, cleaning my phone and going back to filming.
