Filming Pt. 1

        After completing the planning process, Hayden and I have finally started filming!
       
        We actually did this last week, I just decided to post about it now.

        Our initial plan was to film on Cypress Bay High School's track, as it was recently getting some construction done on its track, and was a familiar environment for the both of us, as it's located at our school, and has been run on by the both of us. The only issue with this was that the construction of the track was taking longer than expected, causing us to look to a new location. 

        The Tequesta Trace Middle School track was always an option for us, but it wasn't our most satisfactory one. The track wasn't exactly the newest in terms of looks or structure, and the fact that there are little to no bleachers nearby made the chances of us being able to film our establishing shot the way we wanted to were low, while the chances of giving our protagonist the look of an important athlete were too.

        Ultimately, Hayden and I came to the conclusion of going to West Broward High School's track. One thing about West Broward's track that was surprising, but great, was the renewed track that was recently created. It created a much better look than Tequesta Trace's track would've, and further improved the look of the film itself. The bleachers weren't as large as we expected, but they were still good enough for the establishing shot of our film. We ended up filming the whole first scene of our film, which involves the athlete practicing on the track and eventually getting injured. 

        Throughout this next week, we plan on working on the completion of our film. Look out for updates!
