Pearse and I continued to try and follow our shot list as much as possible but it got sort of hard at one point. The person playing the mom had difficulty comprehending how to act and made it difficult to shoot our scenes. We didn't want to say anything to discourage because she was helping us and we don't have any backups to call last minute, and we were still missing 3 people. So we were right on track and kept a positive attitude throughout. We first shoot the mom prepping to cook the ramen which took more or less 45 minutes. After we shot the ramen cooking as well as the mom seasoning to show some type of cooking effort but not as much as what I did earlier before, cause that was more of a professional effort.
Here is a picture of Pearse filming his mom cooking the ramen. As you can see we used anything to get better shots of what we want to show in our opening scene. Pearse got up on chairs to get some high angle shots which was smart considering most of this scene were close-ups of the mom cooking. There were a few medium but the close up shows the activity and emphasize the cooking.
After the ramen cooked we filmed the mom prepping the bowls to serve her children food. We also filmed the table being prepped. We want it to seem as smooth as possible so there are the least amounts of hiccups as possible. Overall this part of filming was a lot more quickly than the rest, but the girls were nowhere to be seen and it was already 10pm by the time we were done and I fell asleep. Spoiler: We still won an Oscar.
Also another update it is my second day working this week and yesterday went by super slow and all the parents just let their kids run around the pool. Actually, the new guy had to jump in his first 30 minutes of working because some baby fell in and was starting to drown. Learning to swim is not a joke.
