On our second day of filming, we had everything set up, the camera ready, the way to film the location, and the timing perfect to film during the sunset at 6:28 PM. Our actress had just arrived at my partner’s house, our filming location. And we were parking the cars two houses down to begin filming when she suddenly got a call from her mom. Her car had run out of gas in the middle of nowhere, and she needed help urgently.
It was around 6:00 PM when she got the call, and we quickly thought of a solution to the problem. And we realized that even if she left right away and managed to help her mom as fast as possible, there was no way she’d make it back in time for the sunset. By the time she returned, our time for filming would have closed, and the entire scene we had planned depended on that lighting.
It was frustrating, but there wasn’t much we could do. Sometimes, unexpected situations throw everything off schedule, and this was one of those moments. Now, we have to reschedule for next Monday but based on the time change we will have to film around 7:30 PM. This experience was a reminder that filmmaking isn’t always quick and easy, like how it went on our first day of filming.
