Production Blog: Replanning

 Our original plan was to film last weekend. We also planned to do it in the rain. However, we did not consider the fact that everyone was going to be on vacation. Tom is going to Houston, Texas with his family. Nicolas is going to Indianapolis with his neighbor. I will be going to Tennessee with my friend. We realized that we couldn't keep postponing the project. We wanted to at least have some of the project filmed before the next production blog was due. There was no school on the upcoming Tuesday. So we decided to film our project then. Tom and Nicolas agreed that we could film at my house. It also helped that I have a golf cart we can use to get around. The golf cart can also be used in some of the scenes. After deciding the location we had to arrange the time. The group decided on 1 PM. Our next issue was the rain. We realized the rainy season was officially over. Now we had to come up with another solution. Our solution for now was to use a hose in place of rain.

Production Blog: Song Choice

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.

Despite our efforts, every song we considered seemed to fall short of our expectations. Frustration mounted as deadlines loomed, and the pressure to find the ideal track intensified. 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.
