- During filming my basketball opening scene was a really cool experience,, but it also took a lot more work then I expected. There were so many things to think about, from setting up the shots to making sure everything looked and felt real.
Planning the Shots
- Before I even started to film I had to play everything out. I made a storyboard that showed everthing important part of the film opening, like Mateo practicing alone in the gym and the flashbacks to his championship game. This help me understand exactly what shots I needed to focus on instead of going in blind.
Setting up the location
- I was able to film in a local outdoor basketball court, which was perfect for the scene. I had to figure to the best place for my camera men to shot, for the shots to look great.
Filming the scene
- This part took a bit longer than I expected. I had to do multiple takes of each shot to make sure everything looked good. Some shots, like close ups of Mateo's face expressions, were easier, but actions shot like him dribbling and shooting were harder because I had to time everything just right .
