Supposedly The Last Day of Filming

This filming process for are movie is filled with trials and tribulations. There is so many things that we have to consider when doing this project. I think it’s the hardest project we have ever done. It has take n a toll on me honestly and is very tiring. With your the knowledge of the last projects, I wouldn’t really know how to handle this. Luckily, we had experience before doing this project. The filming process was hard to figure out. It’s not easy finding a good time to film when all of your group mates have some sort of issue and or event in their schedule. We were all busy and it was really hard for us to do any filming. From the last two blogs it’s clearly shown how hard it was for us to film. The weather was even against us. But this time we were determined to film. I even decided to skip track practice in hopes that  we will film. It was around 4:00 and we were all ready to film and meet up at my group mates house. But my group mates was not responding. I didn’t want to drive all the way to his house just to find out he isn’t there. I called him and called him but no answer. We didn’t have enough footage so I couldn’t just start editing. My mom was getting impatient and she had plans of her own. She needed to know if I actually was going or not. Unfortunate, it didn’t work out. My mom didn’t have time for me to get in touch with my friend to confirm that I could come to his house. It’s annoying not being able to film as we have a deadline coming up and editing will take a long time. I hope we can film Saturday and my mom can drive me there. In her car:

Another Day or Filming

Filiming didn’t occur last time which is extremely unfortunate. Now we had to make up for the time lost and make sure we filmed enough this time. That’s what we wanted to do but that is not what happened. The filming process went sideways which is unfortunate. We did film though which is nice but it was unfortunately cut short. The most important thing we have to worry about is the sun setting. Are film must be filmed in the morning or it wouldn’t make any sense.  The sun had to be in a similar position for all the shots so it doesn’t seem confusing. So the other day we were meant to film and planned on it. We all meet up to film and decide to film. It goes well I’m the beginning but of course something had to go wrong. We look up in the sky and realize clouds are starting to form. Now they are blocking the sunlight which is unfortunate. Now we can’t film because the sun was blocked. But we still had hope. Maybe we could film in this setting instead and the movie take place on a cloudy day. But that caused to much variables if we didn’t finish on that day. But we still decided to film. Then, it stArted raining. Of course it would start raining and that ruined everything. We don’t want to get wet not break any of our filming equipment due to water. So this forced us all to go home. We still had hope though after track practice we planned on meeting up after school but when I came home ate, showered and did my homework I looked out the window and it was completely dark:

First Filming Blog

This is our first filming day that we were supposed to film for our movie. But it didn’t happen because of certain time constraints. The time that we could of filmed had to be after school. That was the only way we were going to film this movie. But that couldn’t happen. I had track practice to go to everyday after school and I would get home at 5:30 and since I’m the director and a main they couldn’t have started filming without me. Another thing was that Marckins one of my teammates also stayed after school and he’s the main character as well and had most of the screen time so there was no way we could of filmed. Even if we tried to film after school and after my practice and his we would obviously be extremely drained and tired and the film wouldn’t come out as we pleased. Also the sun would have settled way too son and would of ruin our shot as the lighting would be constantly changing. We are filming our scenes in the day time so it wouldn’t workout. But that’s okay though because we plan on filming another time. This will affect our schedule a lot. We will need to move everything back and really try to be faster on certain parts like editing and or filming. During this week though we did do something to contribute to the film. We gathered the last bit of supplies needed to start filming and we scooped out the general area of our film to make sure we were all set. We all confirmed it with our parents so we don’t have any confusion the real filming day. The issue was the gathering of supplies. We don’t have jobs and don’t have the necessary sponsorship to acquire some supplies so we obviously had to improvise. For my character I have to wear a very specific color And clothes. My character has to be dark and a figure. So I scrambled around my house to find the perfect outfit for this. I got a black jacket and a black beanie that will do wonders at hiding my appearance when doing the film. And here are the pictures of them:

Storyboard For Movie

When creating the story blog it was a spit effort. The script really helped in visualizing the story board. The story board and the script go hand and hand. So, it helped my teammates know what to draw and write on the story board. We split the effort three ways. So that is why some of the art seems different. That isn’t important thought because the story board still conveys the story. I know for sure now when we go filming it will be as easy as ever. When we hopefully bring more actors the story board will allow them to easily catch on to the story. The story board is actually pretty detailed.

Title Design

Titles is going to be an important aspect of this project. So, it's imperative that we get them right. The way I will do this is keep the titles simple. They will be simple enough that it's not jarring but it still holds complex meaning. I want the title to somewhat represent the movie. Of course the background and music of the tile sequence will do that but if I can personalize the tile to do the same I think it will help the audience understand the movie a lot better. I'll personalize the titles to be correlated to the tag aspect of the movie. It will also have movements that represents tag.

Details for LPHS

Details for LPHS is the details for the location, Participants, Health and safety and Schedule. This slide goes into detail on what the LPHS of our film will be. Finding a location wasn't hard, we used the same location from our music video that we did in the middle of the year. It's a great neighborhood. Schedule was hard to make but when I thought it out I made the perfect Schedule. It takes into account everything and gives us more than enough time to do this project accurately. Health and safety wasn't hard. I knew already what measures were put in place to ensure our well-being. Participants wasn't final. I know that 3 people including me will participate but I don't know if the other people will be also participating.

Dialouge & Sound Script

This script had to match the shooting script. Though this was easier in a way it was hard to find the right songs. The song had to be royalty free and had to be perfect for the scenes. After searching I found great songs on youtube that worked to my liking. Doing the script was hard. I had to really think about the sound that would be happening during a scene. I had to think about the dialogue and how that would work. In the end I think it turned out great. My partners will appreciate the scripts and be able to comprehend them. The sound script will help me when editing.

Shooting Script

When doing the script about the character movements, movements of the camera and angles it was really hard to do. I had to consult my team and we had to think of a story to write about. The story we already made from our pitch but we have to figure out the details. The slides that I made is the script. It doesn't outline everything but it does outline what the characters are doing. The story is explained in the dialogue so it was hard making the script without that. I tried to implement most camera angles in my script. Including high angle, low angle tilt and even more. I didn't force the movements. It fit right into the story. Including the camera movements those were easy. Figuring out the story was the
hardest part.
