Filming and Editing Blog 1: Setting and Cast

Where my group and I stand in this project is that we are currently figuring out how we are setting up our film. Currently, we are figuring out who will be our cast in the film and where would our film take place. Right now, we know that the four of us will be somewhere in the film because we are the main characters. We do want to ask if there is a possibility of us being able to add any extras just t make the film look more realistic. For extras, we are just planning on to add people that we personally know like family members or other friends but they won't be included in the whole film just a certain part that marks importance of the film. We are not 100% sure where we are going to locate our scene but we are thinking one of our scenes should be in a bedroom and another at a park. The bedroom setting will be the very first setting in the film. This will be the first thing that the audience sees and the bedroom scene starts the film. This scene will be one of the main parts in the film because it shows why what happens, happen. This scene is really important so we felt as if that should have been a good setting because we do believe that most teens do their online school work at home in their room. The park scene and setting is very different. In this part of the film, this is where we would add all our extras. The point of this scene is to show a protest at the park. That's what the a setting is for. At the park, this is the community park so people are protesting against something terrible that happened in their community. So for this, as we know a rally can't have like three people, we want to add in extras to make the scene look better and more interesting to the audience. Throughout this process I do believe my group and I know what were doing. We are just piecing our film together day by day so we can officially know what were doing so that we can actually start filming. This is only the beginning for us and I do believe that we will do really good on our film overall. The steps we are taking now are the most slightest and most basic steps and though we know that it may get harder on us as time goes by, I think w got it.

Production Blog: Halfway There

Image
 My group and I are still currently filming our video for our final task. The due date for the assignment is almost near and we are halfway through the video. We currently recorded the parts where we decided that we were going to split then this weekend, we plan to meet up at a park and rehearse the last scene of the film. Due to the fact that the assignment is due in a week, I think my group is on perfect timing. After the meet on Sunday, we plan to start editing the video so that we can attach it to our blogs. On Sunday, it is our last shooting day out of 4. We plan on meeting up at a park where we all are close by, and we will shoot the last minute or the last few seconds of the film. The beginning or the first minute and a half of the film, we did all our recordings at our homes by ourselves. This works because it is like everyone is getting a phone call from separate areas. Then they all find each other at the park to help their friend. We think the time span on our film is al...

Production Blog: First Few Seconds

Image
During spring break, my group and i started our recording process for our film for our final task. Our group  has been working hard to get our first scene right. The first clip of the video is about 15 - 30 seconds long. After finishing it the editor of the group has begun doing the editing process of the film. Since the break, we haven't done much recording since. We want to film each scene piece by piece. We also understand that some of the group mates might b busy from time to time that's why we broke up our filming dates. We are also still currently in the starting process of our film. We do plan on doing some more recording this weekend since we do have a 3 day weekend and it gives us much time to do some recording. We plan on recording our second scene of the film and then try to do some more recording throughout the week. If we do this and the plan works out in our favor, our film can potentially be due before the actual due date. Our group want to make sure that we get ...

Production Blog: Sunday and Final Plans

Image
 Finally, my group and I have officially decided what we were going to do and we confirmed it. So now, because we still haven't recorded our final part of the film, which will be recorded on Sunday, we are still at Base B with our film but for sure we are almost done. Currently, every member of the group has their own parts. Like said before in the last blog, we want to start editing our film around next Tuesday so that we can submit our film on Thursday. To start editing on Tuesday, we have to submit all of our clips by Tuesday so our editor of the group can start editing. It is for sure that every person apart of our group will be in the film. I will be in the first clip, I will be the one who commits suicide. Most likely I will only be in that only clip of the film. I will also be apart of another clip but I will be on a flyer. For the flyer of course, we would have to use that as a prop. The flyer will be only shown for about 10 seconds in the film so that the audience can read...
