under the sunset

 We made plans to meet on Saturday at 6:00 P.M. When the day came we were set to meet. One of our group was at the beach since the morning and told us that the weather had been questionable. The wind was picking up as the day went on so we didn't know if we were going to continue with our plans. As the time neared the wind had died down some but was still there. Two of us decided to get there early and set up the props before our other teammates showed up. Once 6 came around our entire group was there and we were ready to film. Our commercial was comprised of some scenes that had volleyball in it. As the wind picked up it made it increasingly difficult to hit the ball accurately. We ended up having to do many takes as the ball was hit wrong or out of bounds. Another problem we had was with our timing. We planned to film close to sunset as it would create a good background for our finishing shot. Do to doing many takes we were behind and had to film scenes out of order to make sure we had the last shot ready. Also one of our members had to leave. His parents wanted him home so he had to leave early. This was a small hiccup in our filming because he was the main actor in our commercial. Because of this we had to make film all the shots that had him directly in it before he left. This ended up ok as we made use of POV shots that didn't require him there to film. The filming went well as for the actual scenes. Next we just needed to edit it together.

How to make a short film

 The video "How to make a short film" by film riot will act as a helpful tool. This video gives our group a good sense of what well need to do in creating our short film. Most of this is in the preparation and setup that allows the story to come through within the short amount of time. It says not to write something that wont fit the resources that are available to us. Our short film should be written having in mind the actors as well as the access to equipment we have. We would not be able to perform huge cgi shots or anything from the sky as we don't have the equipment for it and we should plan accordingly. Another important aspect of the film that we should focus on is tone. The video goes over tone as it relates to camera positioning as well as lighting and setting. The tone should be appropriate throughout or else it will lose legitimacy. as for the casting when it comes to this video it says to make sure to get out of them what is needed and we will have to take thi...

Production delay

 Our group has made plans to film in the future as we experienced some scheduling setbacks. The last few weeks have been difficult as we have had less face to face time to make plans for our production. There has been religious holidays as well as unexpected early release days. The main scheduling conflicts lies in the hurricane that hit Florida last week. The hurricanes impact on Florida left us without school and personally left me without access to power during parts of those days. The hurricane made my parents more vigilant over my movement outside of the home which made it nearly impossible to meet up. We had no choice but to wait for another opportunity. The weekend came and went and we had yet to communicate on a day to meet. We met during our class this week and decided to meet in the near future. The timing didn't align for us with our afterschool activities so we could not meet up during the week. While talking over the plan to meetup one of our members said they wor...
