Weather Problems



Unfortunately, we got rained out. The weather app said no rain, but we got lied to. It was frustrating because we had everything planned out perfectly, and then the weather threw us a curveball. I did consider filming in the rain, but I really wanted to use the convertible roof. Without it, some of our key shots wouldn’t have the same effect. There is also the issue of the rain being a hazard for our film crew. The ground was getting slippery, making it risky for anyone carrying equipment. We didn’t want any water to get on the cameras either. Plus, I don’t know if a drone can fly in the rain, but I’m not gonna test it. It’s already stressful enough dealing with unpredictable weather, so the last thing we need is to damage expensive equipment. We all agreed to work on a new schedule as soon as possible. After a two-hour phone call, we came to the conclusion that we will need to sacrifice our time to film. It was a tough decision, but we knew it was the only way to get back on track. This means Nathaly and Nico will take some time off work, and I will have to skip a practice or two. Rearranging our schedules wasn’t easy, but we’re all committed to making this happen. We will be filming during the week. I will make sure to check the weather again. Hopefully, this time we don’t get rained out.

Production Blog: Song Choice

Image
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...

Our Pitch Blog- Final Task

Pitch A: A little boy named Tom was walking home one day, while a mysterious man watches him. Will he make it home safely before he gets kidnapped?  Pitch B: The neighborhood park seemed quiet and peaceful, until someone took a step towards the shadows. What will they think once they discover the true mystery about their park? Pitch A Discussion: This story is about a little boy who gets kidnapped. We want to do this because it seems like a fun and creative choice. We've already planned out a perfect place to do it, in a dark street with only one light. We already had some very good ideas on incorporating credits, and all have our roles shifted into place for it. I believe this pitch would be a perfect idea once we think of all the aspects and would definitely like to perform this.  Pitch B Discussion: This story is about a seemingly normal park; it seems safe and clean. However, its secretly a hub for crime in the city. This is where major crime deals are made and plans are f...

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.
