Working on this video was a blast! We wanted to go with the concept of "Carr's Worst Nightmare", so we decided to focus on the miscommunication that frequently occurs while text messaging. Depending on the use of punctuation, capitals, etc., written text on a screen can be interpreted completely differently than it would be meant using spoken language.
To make the movie, Nate used a video camera to record us. We recorded the audio separately, and then Nate directed us to get the video images for the final product. We worked hard to ensure that there was adequate light in my apartment, which is where we filmed. We also struggled with my creaky wood floors, which make noise every time a person simply shifts their weight. Once we tweaked these factors, I think the filming went smoothly.
The process of filming was fun. We were all on the same page in terms of what we were looking to accomplish through the mini-movie, and enjoyed reciting the lines and figuring out aesthetically what looked the best on film (aka me standing on the couch to hug Sasha). We made sure that there were multiple shots for Nate to choose from during the final editing process. Overall it was a cool experience, and I think we got our message across in the final product.
