Finally filming

 After all of the issues we've had to deal with we were finally able to film. We had made plans to film the weekend after not having a chance to during the week. We planned to have one of our other classmates help fill in the role of the main character as Brianna was still unable to film. The only problem was no one ended up being available. We had to scratch the idea of them helping and ended up with me as the main character. The switch in gears has been a backup plan for us and we are glad it worked out in the end. On Sunday at 12:00 PM Sean came to pick me up from my house and we headed back to his place to film. The setting of our project was his house and neighborhood which helped as we had access to it at any time. Once there Sean took out his camera and we got to filming. As our film is set in a world void of people besides the main character we had to make sure no one else could be seen. This meant having his parents move about to not be in the way. the graciously complied and were very helpful in the process. During the filming things went pretty smoothly as the shots were going well except for one scene in particular. The scene was showing the main character wash his face in the mirror. The issue was finding a way to film in the bathroom which made it look like the view of the mirror. We ended up having Sean sitting on the sink with the camera to imitate the view from the mirror. This ended up looking very similar to what we were trying for so it worked out. Other then that the filming was successful and Brianna will be editing the clips together. The filming is complete for now and we are ready for the net step. We just have to put 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...
