Production Blog: Started Filming

 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 characters to life breathed new energy into the project. Their commitment to the roles and enthusiasm for the scenes propelled the filming session forward. Capturing the opening scenes not only sets the stage for the narrative but also establishes a connection between the audience and the characters. Incorporating dialogue that includes their names enhances the audience's understanding of the characters' identities and relationships. Each moment captured on camera felt like a step closer to realizing the vision I had envisioned. Despite the brevity of today's session, the progress made instills confidence in the project's trajectory. Collaborating with the actors during filming fosters a sense of camaraderie and mutual respect, laying the groundwork for a cohesive performance. Reflecting on today's accomplishments ignites a sense of pride and fulfillment, driving me to push forward with determination. With the foundation set, I eagerly anticipate delving deeper into the story, eager to bring each scene to life with passion and authenticity.

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...
