Library scene

So we had this scene where two government officials need to be talking in some kind of official-looking room, and originally I was going to shoot it in one of our grup member's house,s but we realized that wasn't going to really work as no one's house looked "professional" enough. Then someone suggested the library study rooms, which we all thought was brilliant, but we also ended up going to the library without a reservation just hoping for an open room, very unplanned. This is becoming a common theme throughout this production.

We showed up at the library at like 12 on this past Saturday with no reservation, hoping something was free. I had all the recording stuff in my backpack, and only another group member and I went up to the front desk to be less intimidating (and because we looked the most mature), asking if any study rooms were available. The person working there was actually very nice and checked to see if any rooms were available and luckily one was.

The room itself was actually a decent place to shoot our scenes as when you turned the lights off the room became very mysterious. We had two hours to record before we could be kicked out, I say could because we would only get kicked out if someone asked for the room after we already were there for 2 hours.

We did the scene maybe six times total due to bloopers. This scene contained just dialogue, two guys in suits talking about the operation they're planning, but the whole joke is that they're being super serious and right at the end, one of the officials curses and says "not these 2 idiots".

I was not rushed, but I also didn't want to take up the entire time slot we had because I knew someone else had probably would ask for this room as it was the afternoon on a saturday, and I felt bad taking a study space just so we could film our project.

Thankfully, we finished all our recording after like maybe an hour, so we actually had a lot of time to spare and weren't rushed. This made me happy as I feel like since we weren't rushed our shots came out way better.
