Merrill and I arrived on location (Morton's Gourmet Market) at 4:00 pm sharp. We walked through all of the shots with our actors before we began to film. Filming began promptly at 4:25. We first tested for sound in two perspective conference rooms in the building. The first was very upscale and relatively large. We were worried about issues with sound due to the echo, but they proved insignificant as the test shot sounded great. Although the first conference room was very pleasing to the eye it didn't match our dark and mysterious aesthetic. We moved to the second conference room,a darker smaller room. The sound tests went well and we decided to choose this conference room because we knew it would work well with our dark theme. Next we did test shots of our running scenes. As the camera person I experimented with the tripod and steady cam when filming the running scenes. We decided that the steady cam yielded the best results. We shot running scenes in both the warehouse and on the roof. Overall, the first day of filming went well. We also decided that I would be in charge of all filming since Merrill would be responsible for a large portion of the editing.
