Production Blog: Minor Setback

 Today was supposed to be the start of our filming process. Unfortunately, we were not able to do so. I selected actors that live under the same household as me to make this whole process easier. One of the three actors were not able to be filmed today. With them being necessary to the filming process I had to postpone the start of our filming. My actor wasn’t able to film due to their job. My actor was my mother but unfortunately she was caught up with work so we just had to reschedule the start of our filming process for another day. Since I had to postpone the filming process I focused on other aspects of this process. I focused on other aspects of this process and make sure that everything was taken care of and correct. I had to go through our whole schedule and rearrange the dates. I did so to make sure that everything was going to be done on time and just to be organized. After going through my schedule everything was back on track and I was ready for the next date that I had set for the first day of filming. I had to discuss the filming situation with my group mate as well as my actor. I did this to ensure that we were on the same page and aware of what is going on. I wanted to make sure that everyone understood that we need to get work done and we need to get it done according to our schedule. Due to us having to post pone I also got to work on the script. I had already worked on the script but I took this as time to reevaluate everything and perfect everything. I made sure that the script went along with the scenes. I also went over and made sure I knew exactly what shots I was going to use for each scene. This was a little setback for my group and me. This is only a minor setback though. I am still right on track and should be finished up right on time.

How to make a short film

  "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...
