Planning Blog: Location, Participants, Health, Schedule

For our project, we chose to shoot at my home or apartment complex. That's because I do not need a lot of space for filming. Janiaya and Janae are all here and we can start shooting. Another good thing about this place is the security included. All of our parents agreed to let us film at this location. My parents also agreed to have an adult supervise us at all times in case something went wrong. When using something that is dangerous if used incorrectly, an adult will always be there in case of emergency. Another safety aspect of the community is that it has 24/7 security, making it safe to shoot after dark if necessary. The condo is gated for extra safety and comfort. Our group is not involved in any after school activities that would make it hard to schedule a filming time. Once we have a date and time that we know will work 100%, we will let you know on the production blog. We're so excited to make this film that it's a priority in all our schedules. Overall, it's easy to find a place in the shooting schedule, especially when you don't have any other commitments and responsibilities that would require your attention. Which mean this task is going to have all of my attention. It is important to prioritize and make sure that filming is what you really want to do and is in line with your overall goals and values. One way to create leeway in your shoot schedule is to block certain time slots in advance and plan your other activities around those blocks. You may also need to delegate some tasks to others in order to have more shooting time. Sometimes you have to make sacrifices and compromises to make room for shooting. This can mean limiting social activities or taking time off from work. Communication is key when it comes to scheduling conflicts. If you're struggling to fit locations into your schedule, it's important to be transparent with your crew and let them know your limits. When it comes to scheduling, it's important to be flexible and adaptable. The unexpected can always happen, so it's important to have a backup plan in case something goes wrong or changes at the last minute.

How to make a short film

Image
  "Write what you have the resources for" is a powerful adage to follow when creating plots and screenplays. We can only write with what we have we are limited in what we can do due to the lack of cameras and microphones for filming. I know it takes time to edit and pace a movie since you only have 5 minutes, you have to be careful about how much to photograph and how much to cut. Overshooting is the best option, but you need to make sure the plot     doesn't need to be fully fleshed out to make sense. There needs to be     some balance, every scene needs to contribute something towards the ending, there's no room for fill-in-the-blanks. Also, the movie isn't very predictable, but it could use a Groundhog Day-type plot, which makes this difficult. While adhering to the theme of the story, there are bound to be     scenes that the audience doesn't expect. Theme determines the plot and must be understood by the audience. You also need to maintain tone ac...

Intro Blog: The Nerves

Hello, it's me again. I prepared myself mentally  for this particular project. I was completely nervous about this project before, but now I think I'm ready. I'm a little worried, but overall I'm calm. I'm worried that my job will be unstable, that something will go wrong when I shoot, that the image will be problematic. I may have some questions, but overall I'm looking forward to filming and getting back on set. I was nervous before because I had no experience creating videos like this. Now that I'm working alone, I'm even more nervous. This time, no one gave me constructive criticism or stood out. After talking about it and learning more about it, I felt calmer and less nervous. Because I knew I couldn't get lost. Instead, I wanted to be prepared for whatever was to come. After subsequent projects I gained some experience that I will definitely use for this project. I learned how to properly edit, how to make camera angles and movements look beaut...

Group Blog: Going Solo

I’m back and ready for something new. I decided to switch it up and this time I chose to work alone. I have tried to work with others before and although it wasn’t bad I feel as if I want to go at my own paste. Something I didn’t enjoy with working with someone else was having to depend on them. I rather be working independently and that way I know I’m doing the best I can do. Working by myself can benefit me in many ways, working alone allows me to take full control and make decisions without relying on others. I can develop a strong sense of self-discipline when working independently, as I’ll need to stay focused and motivated. I have the freedom to set your my own schedule and work at my own pace, which can be a big advantage. Working alone gives me the space to explore my own ideas and think outside the box without any external influences. Achieving tasks and reaching goals on my own can boost my self-esteem and confidence in my abilities. Working independently allows me to learn n...
