Production Blog: Setback

Today I was setback. Today I had another mishap with my filming. Today was the first day of the week and one of my actors has to work this week. Unfortunately, as a result to my actors work schedule, I have to push back the filming. I have to push back the filming to this weekend so that I can have all my actors together. This may be a setback, but it is not a major one. It is one that can be easily fixed. As I have done before I am going to just push back the filming schedule and just work on other aspects of my short film. Encountering setbacks in the filming process is an inevitable part of the journey, and today was no exception. The scheduling conflicts arising from one of my actors' work commitments required a swift adjustment to our plans. While it's disappointing to postpone filming, I recognize the importance of having the full ensemble present for the scenes. Adapting to unexpected changes demonstrates resilience and flexibility, essential qualities in the world of filmmaking. Rather than allowing setbacks to derail progress, I approach them as opportunities to refine other aspects of the project. This setback serves as a reminder of the intricacies involved in coordinating a production and the need for meticulous planning. By rescheduling filming to the weekend, I ensure that we can maintain the integrity of the vision while accommodating everyone's availability. Open communication with the actors about the new schedule fosters understanding and cooperation, minimizing disruptions. In the meantime, I will focus on enhancing other elements of the film, such as refining the script or scouting additional locations. Embracing setbacks with a proactive mindset reinforces my commitment to delivering a polished final product. With perseverance and determination, I remain steadfast in my pursuit of bringing this project to fruition, undeterred by temporary obstacles along the way.

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...
