Production Blog: Schedule

 Today's blog is going to be about how we planned out our filming and editing schedule. We decided it would be a good idea to start filming early. So we all decided that the first step was make sure everyone understood the script. We all joined a call one night and spent about an hour and a half reviewing the script. We discussed lines, actions, and camera shots. Eventually we all agreed on everything. The next step was to find a date and time to start filming. Me and Nico were free the first weekend of February but Tom and Blake were not. Ironically, it was opposite the next weekend. The third weekend, we were all busy. However, we forgot there was no school Monday and decided to film then. Luckily I had gotten my license the week prior and no longer needed an adult to drive. This meant we had one less person to schedule around. We all met up at my house close to 1 pm. We decided to do the exterior shots first. Once the scene shifted into the door we all went inside. We gathered all the props we were going to use and set them in place. This was really fun to do. We all agreed that we had done enough work for the day and stopped filming. Then we all played on the Xbox until everyone got picked up.

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. We experimented with various genres, from upbeat pop tunes to soulful ballads, hoping to strike the perfect chord with our audience. 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

Image
 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.
