Camera Work

 We tried finding a camera to film our opening to ensure the best quality and stability for our film but we could not find one. We ended up just using our phones because they were perfectly suitable for the job and we found out on settings, there is a way to make the quality better and we filmed it at the highest iPhone quality. Thiago had a stabilizer at his house for us to use so our camera work wasn't as shaky and seemed more professional but even after charging the stabilizer, it was not working for some reason. It was turning on but it couldn't hold the phone up when we tried filming. 

I ended up filming the project because I had the most stable hands, with the exception of certain scenes where Lorena also filmed because we wanted different angles of the same take. Filming with my phone was definitely not as bad as I thought it would be, obviously, a camera has better quality but we worked with what we had but I still think everything turned out great! The most challenging part of filming with an iPhone were the shower scenes because we wanted to get as close as possible and film a lot of close up but also not get my phone completely wet. Some water splashed on it but we were able to get the shots we wanted and they looked cool on camera. After we were done filming everything we just shared an album with all the pictures and videos from the shooting days, and we made sure to take pictures for our CCR and document the whole process.
