Alright, so for our project, Farjad and I were planning on filming the part of the opening with the track at our school, Cypress Bay High School. However, when we got there, it was under construction and we couldn't go on it at all. We both knew it was under construction, but we both heard that it would be finished before spring break. This was a problem for us because we made our storyboard with the mindset that we'd be able to film on the Cypress Bay. For example, the establishing shot was going to be an extreme long shot and we were going to take it from on top of the "home" bleachers, but now we had to change it.
After Farjad and I got to the Cypress track and realized that we couldn't go on it, we decided to go to the track at Tequesta Trace Park. This track wasn't at a school so there were only small bleachers, which wouldn't work for our shots. Also, the track had no lines or rubber on it, which took away from the feeling that our main protagonist was in high school and on the track team.
Once we figured out that the Tequesta track wouldn't work either, Farjad and I agreed on going to the track at West Broward High School. This track was much better than the one at Tequesta and we could actually go on it unlike the one at Cypress Bay. This track also had bleachers that were bigger than the ones at Tequesta, although they weren't quite the same as Cypress Bay's we still got our establishing shot and it looks pretty good. We're definitely using this track for the rest of our film opening.
