Production blog: Planning Time, Date, and Location

We began brainstorming ideas for our collaborative project. We selected my house as the filming location. Everyone settled on filming on Wednesday after school. The chosen time is 4 PM. I considered the lighting in different places. We'll use the local park for the main scenes. The park will be great for the beginning and end shots. We discussed the project's theme and script. I arranged for any necessary props and costumes. We will have a planning meeting over the phone on Tuesday. The equipment checklist includes cameras, mics, and tripods. If we need anything else, we will create a budget and split it equally. I created a shot list for the entire project. We allocated specific roles for each team member. We want to be as organized as possible. My friends will arrive a bit early on Wednesday. We'll have a quick production meeting before starting. We plan to film for about 3 hours in total. I plan to bring snacks and refreshments during breaks. The project is set, and we're excited to get started.

In the whirlwind of filmmaking, one of the most challenging tasks we encountered was finding the perfect song to accompany our scenes. We knew that the right music could elevate our film to new heights, but finding it proved to be a daunting endeavor. Hours were spent scouring through endless playlists, searching for that elusive melody that would capture the essence of our story. Each member of our team had their own vision for the soundtrack, leading to passionate debates and conflicting opinions.

We revisited scenes repeatedly, attempting to synchronize them with different music choices, but nothing seemed to fit seamlessly. The search for the perfect song became a test of...

Production Blog: Filming Part 2

 Todays blog is about filming, again. This time we filmed the night scenes. The best time for this was around 7 PM. The hardest part of the day was finding the right place. The street had to be empty. Traffic would have made filming in the middle of the street really hard. It could also have been too loud for the camera and blocked out our voices. To find the best street we just drove around. We spent almost 45 mins searching for the perfect place. Eventually we found it. It was just what we were looking for. It was dark and had almost no traffic. We got our places set up and got ready to film. Our group went over the script again. Then the angles and movements needed. Once everyone was ready and in place we started. These outdoor scenes were really fun to film. The only issue was the cold. We were outside for a while and it was windy. Filming took about 2 hours. Overall today went great and I'm excited for the next one.
