 Due to one of my actors working this entire week, I’ve decided to work on something else. And my film I wanted to film the beginning of the escape room and have a transition into the end. So this is what I decided to do. Since I can no longer do any filming until my actors are free, I decided to work on this. For this, I had to download an app. Due to me, working on prior projects, I feel as though this will come to me naturally. Which I was right. I took the time to get this transition out-of-the-way so that my next step could be to do the last bit of scenes and just wrap it up and then finish it off with my editing. Given the scheduling conflict with one of my actors, I've opted to shift my focus to another aspect of the film. Specifically, I've decided to work on creating a transition sequence from the beginning to the end of the escape room scene. This decision allows me to utilize my time productively while waiting for my actors' availability. To accomplish this, I ne...

 Today’s the day. today’s the day that I started the filming process with my actors. After discussing with my actors their schedule, we decided that today could be the perfect day for us to film. My actors were all on the same page that they were free today and were willing to be filmed. today was a short filming session, but nonetheless, we got some progress down. Today we filmed the opening scenes. By opening things I mean where the audience gets to see what they are doing and who are these people. I decided to make sure that in my script that they said each other’s names so that the audience would be able to know who my actors are. The scenes that I recorded today were mainly just them hanging out together excited for their plans. The group of friends were excited for their plans also talking about their plans, which were to go to the escape room. Embarking on the filming process today filled me with a mix of excitement and anticipation. Witnessing the actors bring the character...

  I have decided to talk to my actors as my second step. I made this decision of doing this next specifically, because today is Friday. I told to do this today because this gives my actors a heads up. Which also gives them a head notice. When I say, I talked to my actors, I mean, I let them know that I want them to do this film. I let them know that I wanted them to do this film and what my phone was about. I made sure that they were interested in being in my film and that they could. We talked about their schedule to make sure that they are free for the days that we want to film. I moved my filming schedule around my actors to ensure that I was actually getting my work done. If I had not done, so, then I would’ve had a harder time filming due to the fact that I need everybody together. Which is why I need to figure out their schedules so that we can all come to a common ground, where they are all free at the same time.

So far, I am really just planning everything out making sure everything is sorted out. What I mean by this is where this is all going to be taking place and just everything I need in order to film. this is what I decided to do to start off this whole process. I decided to do this because since I decided to work by myself, I wanted to make sure that I have every little detail planned out in perfect so that I am lacking in no areas. I feel as though since I am working by myself I need to work 10 times harder. I need to work 10 times harder because I don’t have someone else to pick up the slack or do something for the short film. I chose to do this first to ensure that everything was perfect and nothing was last minute or not given my all. Starting the process of creating a short film is both exhilarating and daunting. As a solo filmmaker, every aspect falls squ...
