Jackie and I plan to shoot during the mid-afternoon just because we would like it to be a little sunny out, but not too bright. Also, this would allow better lighting for when we begin to shoot. We also chose this time of day because not a lot of people are at the park and it will not be as busy. Usually there are a good amount of people walking around and kids on the playground earlier in the day. We want Sawyer to be the only child playing on the playground which adds to the uneasiness. My partner and I also plan to coordinate with each other on a time that works best for us as well as our actors participating in the film. For example, my brother Travis works long ours weekly and usually has an extremely tight schedule. Luckily, the time we picked to begin filming was during a week he took off from work. This will allow us flexibility and we will able to shoot more if we need to.
Jackie and I also discussed that we will be filming on the weekend because this is when her and I are the most free. We obviously do have school Monday through Friday which does not really provide any flexibility in our schedules. We want to set aside a great amount of time for this project in order to receive the content we desire.
