Blog #59: Filming the Beach/Marine Scene – What to Expect

Hey everyone, Adrian here! Today, we’re finally filming one of the most important scenes in Fading Into You—the beach/marine scene. This is where the present timeline unfolds and smoothly transitions into the first major flashback,setting the tone for the entire film. The featured image shown above is located in the same filming location we are headed to today! My mom sent this picture to me so I decided to share it with you all (my dad chilling in the bench).

What to Expect in This Scene

• Bike Ride Arrival – The scene opens with Adrian and Tati riding up to the beach, adding a nostalgic, old-school feel to the moment.
• Casual, Playful Banter – As they catch their breath, they joke about being out of shape, setting up their comfortable dynamic.
• A Soft, Subtle Connection – While setting up their spot, their hands brush as Adrian hands Tati a soda, a small but meaningful detail.
• The Big Memory Cue – Tati brings up their first date at this exact location, leading to a natural transition into the past.
• The Flashback Transition – The camera will pan toward the waves, fading into the past, where we see Adrian and Tati’s first date at this same beach.

Challenges & Changes

Like with every scene, things might shift while filming. Whether it’s lighting adjustments, shot compositions, or last-minute tweaks, we’ll adapt on set. The weather could also play a role, so we’re hoping for clear skies to capture the golden sunset visuals we want.

What’s Next?

We’ll keep you updated on how the shoot goes and share any unexpected changes. And of course, be on the lookout for bloopers from today’s session! If all goes well, next up is the mall scene filming this Sunday. Stay tuned!
