Production blog: Planning Everything

 I started the process. I have finally started my short film. When I say that I mean, I have started taking action about it. 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 squarely on my shoulders, from conceptualization to execution. Planning meticulously ensures that each scene unfolds seamlessly, capturing the essence of the story I aim to tell. Location scouting becomes a pivotal task, as the backdrop sets the tone and ambiance for the narrative. Equipment selection and setup demand precision to achieve the desired visual quality. Moreover, scripting and storyboarding lay the foundation for the entire project, guiding each shot with purpose and clarity. Time management becomes paramount, with every moment dedicated to refining the project. Despite the challenges of working alone, the autonomy fuels my creativity, allowing me to fully immerse myself in the creative process. The commitment to excellence drives me to push beyond my limits, ensuring that every detail receives the attention it deserves. Ultimately, embarking on this journey solo instills a profound sense of responsibility and pride in seeing the project through from conception to completion.

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...
