Third filming blog

Currently we still haven’t been ready to film yet. one in all our group members left Classso puts a significant delay on our work. We are planning on filming this weekend. it should be a troublesome time getting everyone together for filming together of our group members left Class. We're visiting film at my house first, because it may be a well controlled environment, so we are going to be ready to get that scene done faster and more efficiently. we are going to film the start of our project, this may be the scene where we first see our main character typing in his computer, he will then get a telephonefrom an unknown number asking how “things” are going. Next we are visiting film in an alleyway or neighborhood because itis that the scene we would have liked our now absent group member to film that scene. Our main struggle is getting the people we'd like to be there. one in all our main actors works on Friday and Saturday. Our director also includes a job on Sunday. So we'd like to film at later times. This puts an excellent tighter time constraint on us. We’ll have less daylight time to figure in so we must be precise in our work. We are just hoping that everything goes to plan and zipgoes wrong. we'd like to conserve our time. We only have such a lot daylight by the time we are able to film. We're currently keeping tabs on our plan. We must be concise in our scheduling. Anything can suddenly change at the drop of a hat. we've complete faith in each other. It’s important to create sure we are all on board with our ideas.

Second week of filming

Currently we still haven’t been able to film yet. One of our group members left the class, so that puts a serious delay on our work. We are planning on filming this weekend. It may be a tough time getting everyone together for filming as one of our group members left the class. We're going to film at my house first, as it is a well controlled environment, so we will be able to get that scene done faster and more efficiently. We will film the beginning of our project, this will be the scene where we first see our main character typing in his computer, he will then get a phone call from an unknown number asking how “things” are going. Next we are going to film in an alleyway or neighborhood as it is the scene we needed our now absent group member to film that scene. Our main struggle is getting the people we need to be there. One of our main actors works on Friday and Saturday. Our director also has a job on Sunday. So we need to film at later times. This puts an even tighter time constraint on us. We’ll have less daylight time to work in so we must be precise in our work. We are just hoping that everything goes to plan and nothing goes wrong. We need to conserve our time. We only have so much daylight by the time we can film. We're currently keeping tabs on our plan. We must be concise in our scheduling. Anything can suddenly change at the drop of a hat. We have complete faith in one another. It’s important to make sure we are all on board with our ideas.

Filming

Currently we haven’t filmed yet. We are planning on filming this weekend. It may be a tough time getting everyone together for filming as our schedules don’t exactly line up the way we want them to. We're going to film at my house first, as it is a well controlled environment, so we will be able to get that scene done faster and more efficiently. We will film the beginning of our project, this will be the scene where we first see our main character typing in his computer, he will then get a phone call from an unknown number asking how “things” are going. Next we are going to film in an alleyway as it’s when all group members can be present, and it’s when we need all hands on deck. Our main struggle is getting the people we need to be there. One of our main actors works on Friday and Saturday. Our director also has a job on Sunday. So we need to film at later times. This puts an even tighter time constraint on us. We’ll have less daylight time to work in so we must be precise in our work. We are just hoping that everything goes to plan and nothing goes wrong. We need to conserve our time. We only have so much daylight by the time we can film. We're currently keeping tabs on our plan. We must be concise in our scheduling. Anything can suddenly change at the drop of a hat. We have complete faith in one another. It’s important to make sure we are all on board with our ideas.

Planning: Storyboard

This blog is all about the storyboard. The storyboard is outlining the story, or plot, of what we are recording. We do this so that we have some help when we film. Sometimes, we can get confused about what we are filming. The storyboard helps with that. It shows, scene-by-scene, what we have to film. It helps with reminding us how to go about the filming. Things like how to set up the camera and what angles to use are documented. Overall, it makes the entire filming process easier. It allows for us to be able to focus on the quality of the scenes and not technicalities.

Planning: Title

For this google slide, we had a good bit of arguing about who gets credit for what. We all contributed a lot to this project. The first thing we discussed was who gets to name the company and studio. we ended up choosing the most professional sounding ones. For the name of who was going to be the editor it was pretty simple because one of our member has experience and offered to do it from the start. we wanted to give fair share of the credibility so each of us got to have our name on some sort of the production and studio. We decided to give Ben the writer label because the plot was his idea. We gave Andrew the producer label because most of the filming will be done at his house. The director label went to Joaquina because she will be filming with the camera. And we gave Freya the story by label because she will be the one making sure we follow the story board.  

Planning: Location, participants, health and schedule

For this google slide, we had to discuss a lot as a group. The first thing we talked about was the location. We tried to pick locations that were convenient. Also, as a team, we all had to decide what we were each going to do. Whether it was filming, acting, or driving. Health and safety-wise, we had to take into consideration a lot of things. It was mostly about the surroundings. The last thing we had to agree on was the schedule. It was simply because we easily established that we wanted to be time-efficient. My group works very well together.

Planning Blog (sound Script)

The sound is very important in this production. For sounds I would need to record keyboard typing and things like that. We want to use music from Good time, as it has the aesthetic I want. Things like the sound of cars and a city are important as well. As for the dialogue, we need to have good acting and delivery to make the writing really effective. I was mainly focused on sounds that were possible for us to get. We need to have a god use of diegetic sound, as well as non-diegetic.

Planning blog (shooting script)

for the shooting script, it was a tough process. We didn't have an exact idea on what would happen in the story. We mostly made it up as we went along. with time constraints, things were getting stressful. Luckily we were able to get a story ready. I wrote with the thought of what was possible for us to shoot. Some things were difficult to portray in writing. Hopefully They'll be easier to put into action. But for now I'm happy with what we have. And that's very important.
