Finally Producing

Although the tank and the monster created a huge problem and headache for me, we acquired completed all the props we needed and have stared the filming process. 

Unfortunately, by the time we finished all the props, it was around 8:30 PM and my partner had to leave at 8:45 PM. My partner also said that he is unable to meet up again to finish the filming. Because of this we filmed the scenes that he is seen in first and are going to change the way the opening is shot a little so that he is not in any others.

These are the best takes of our unedited footage we filmed so far

We had a tough time trying to get the lighting right as it needed to seem like a dark room but still have enough light to see that there was people there. We tried turning on and off different combinations of lights across the house seeing how much light each of them produced for the camera to see. Eventually we turned off all the lights in the house and used a flashlight on low brightness aimed at the white ceiling, producing the perfect amount of light we were looking for. We also adjusted the exposure of the camera to make it darker than it would've been.
