The day of recording the swede (planning)

The day of recording our swede came on the Saturday. My goal was to finish this swede in one or two days possible. We had planned to head out to the park at 3:00pm, once it was almost time, I grabbed all my equipment, and I headed out early at 2:40pm. I later arrived to the location we were going to record. I waited until two of the three actors arrived, both of them were Seth and Evan who were to start in the swede. They said their scripts out loud and we studied where it would be a good spot to start.

We would watch the real scene again and again to know who talks first and what action to do in that scene. I started to give practice runs on the scene in which we found the best start. The last actor arrived in which they studied the script and were ready. I made practice runs with them in order to warm up their senses of acting and speaking at a loud tone.

I practiced the pan in our first cut, then I showed my crew the ID prop we were going to use. I made sure the clothes were right, I reviewed their script and action, and we were ready to start.
