Production Blog: Where it all Happens

          In our film, we have many places where we want to shoot. Though the film is a short one, we want to make about two or three locations our filming spot. The image that we put in our head for the film is it to start off with our main character. The main character, a girl, will be sitting in her bedroom about to make a terrible mistake. Since our film is about suicide and suicide prevention and we know that most people commit suicide in their own homes, we thought a bedroom would be one of the perfect places that we would film this scene in. Being that this location is being shot in a bedroom, it does mean that we will be filming in one of our group members homes. Because of the fact that we are in a pandemic, this can happen two ways. First, we can either come together as a group and film at the actors home, or the actor can record this specific scene alone. We made this a decision because we are in a global pandemic and some people wouldn't want just anyone coming into their homes. This also factors with parent approval too. Some parents may not want to film in their home for privacy reasons and some might not want different people coming in and outside their homes. Also, recording in someones home could be an invasion of privacy. To avoid this, whoever home that we decide to film at we will first get permission from their parent or guardian. If they approve of us coming into their home to film, then we will do so.                Our second location for the film was going to be at a park. We decided that we will film each scene on different days so that we don't rush each scene and be tired from doing all the work in one day. The park scene will probably take place at Holiday Park in Fort Lauderdale. The park scene will be about a protest, this what we will need the extra participants for. The protest will be about what happened and how the stress of online school is hurting the children of the community. Holiday Park is a large park with different areas that we could film at so there should be no problem with the filming process if it is at the park. For the third location, we haven't really decided on where we are going to do it at or if there will even be a third location. We really just took it in mind and thought it could be good or maybe even a backup location if anything happens. 

          If anything happens, we have thought of backup locations. There are many parks in the Fort Lauderdale area where we can film. So if there becomes a problem, we will make sure we have backup locations to keep the filming rolling.

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...
