Shooting process

I arrived at Juan's house at 7 so we could film at night. We thought filming at night would make it easier for the lighting to show and for the overall mood of the opening. We had a bigger flat light that we needed to dim down by taping 2 pieces of paper over it, and another sunset light we turned to purple. A challenge was moving the desk so that Juan and Juan could film from behind it. We ended up reshooting a lot because we'd get a finger in the shot.

The goggles also kept fogging up, so we had to clean them between takes. We even broke a pair, but I had backup. For future scenes, we had to show time passed, so we changed her hair and lab coat to show that 5 days had passed. 

To do a high-angle long shot, Juan had to go on a stool to get the shot. It was hard to get everything out of the frame in a single take, so it took time. We also used eye drops on the glasses, and it took multiple takes to make sure they didn't splash the camera.

To get the pov shot of Owen getting out of bed we had to make sure we were at Hermana's exact height so we can get her pov accurately. We also had a wardrobe change from lab coat to pajamas and her work was left on the desk showing her commitment.
