So after making the costumes, we waited a little bit till the other actors arrived. And this is when the problems gradually rolled in. Nick, who was supposed to be playing one of the main roles, wasn't able to make it till much later in the day. So I had 3/5 of my actors right now and only needed 1 for the first part. So instead of having Nick be the main actor, I pretty much just had Saloman take the first role, and would swap a couple other roles later down in the day.
So the first scene came the outside scene, in which the two characters are walking in a field, and one of them dies. I told my friends what they would be doing, and they fortunately seemed pretty eager to get it on the way. So as everyone got their costumes, we went outside to the first location.
But right before we headed out, we needed ketchup! Y'know, for some cool effects! So with a bottle of ketchup, my two actors, and my phone, we started the filming!
I wanted the scene to start off with just shots of the characters walking and just going for a stroll. I wanted to capture this via medium and long shots of the characters just walking alongside the bush towards the right on the photo above.
The videos above are a couple scenes I filmed in order to convey the idea of them just walking, seemingly alongside a bush. Then, one of them would collapse, and start spewing blood everywhere. This part was too much fun. Seriously, having David's mouth full of ketchup and waiting in anticipation for it to blow was just amazing.
After that, we pretty much wrapped up and had that first portion done. Now all we had to do was wait for the other actors, and wait till sun-down for the last portion at the table!
