Lights, Camera, Action!

Today was our first day of shooting! Finally after two weeks of planning this film we finally got into action. It was a little nerve racking at first because me, my partner, and even the actors didn't know what to expect.  This was my first time creating and directing a film so I was a little nervous but I had a lot of fun. And in this picture we are trying to set up the chess board so we can shoot a scene. But so far this film has kind of been all over the place because and my partner decided it would be a good idea to not shoot in order to make things easier. We want to use our time wisely and not waste it. We are about 50% done with shooting but we still have a long way to go, so we will see how things go on our next shoot day!
