Planning Blog: Other Information

 Location- We will be filming in a few different locations. At the beginning of the film, we will be shooting outside of a school. It will most likely be at Sunrise Middle School, since we cannot shoot at our own school without permission. We also plan on shooting near a railroad of some sort since they have a creepy feeling. Most prominently, we will be filming at an abandoned location, most likely an abandoned complex near Pompano Beach. 

Participants- The main actors will be myself and my partner Sophia. We will also ask some of our friends and family to be extras and to play dead bodies or civilians. Sophia and I will play two high school students who will discover the building with the bodies in it. Filming will also be me and Sophia. We will mostly have to prop up the camera or film each other individually. Editing will mostly be me. Since I am a bit more tech smart, I will do the editing for this final project. The directing will be done by Sophia and me.  


Health/Safety- Sophia and I are going to be very safe while we film. We will both have cell phones with access to emergency service phone numbers such as 911, and we can also call a parent if anything goes wrong. For the scene in which Sophia is “shot” we will be using a fake gun and fake blood, and we will ensure that she lands somewhere soft where she cannot hit her face. 


Schedule-  

03/12/22-03/13/22: We will start and finish the filming for the abandoned house scene. 

03/15/22-03/16/22: Filming will begin with the school campus scene. 

03/17/22-03/17/22: Filming will come to an end as we pick out our favorite takes.  

03/21/22-03/25/22: Editing the blogs into the opening sequence. We will lay out all the scenes from the film in order to piece it together.

 

Backup Plan- For the locations, if we are unable to film outside of Sunrise Middle or our high school, we can film at a local college campus such as the University of Miami. That is the school that Sophia’s brother attends so we will have easy access to the campus. If we cannot access the building for any reason, we can also film in the parking garage at the Galleria Mall. If Sophia and I have difficulty during filming, since we only have the two of us, I also have a tripod stand that we can prop our phone up on. For the health and safety matters, I carry a first-aid kit that is readily available in my car with bandages and ointments if we are injured.

Film Review

 After all the filming, and editing was done, it was time to start the next step. The entire opening sequence was done. All the scenes were but in order and the music was added. Lastly, the titles were set to appear on the final product. The next part was to find someone to review the video to critique it. A couple of people were asked as I thought it would be a good idea to get multiple people's opinions on it. My partner and I both agreed to interview different people and the take all of their critiques and fix the opening sequence to be great. The first person I asked was my friend Cece. I asked her to first watch the entire opening sequence first and then after go through it slowly to say what she liked and didn't like. The first thing that she said could have used some improvement was the acting. However, this obviously could not be altered as it would need to be re-filmed. However, she did say that she enjoy is the setting at which some of the shots were taken place in. S...

Filming is a Wrap!

Image
 On Saturday December 4th filming was finished. Once again there was a lot of difficulties with the schedules so it was hard to find a good day to film. As a group it was decided that filming would take place on Saturday morning. The first couple of scenes that would be filmed were at Aja's house. My group and I chose to film at her house because it was convenient since all of us knew where she lived. The first thing that had to be done was choosing the type of fancy clothing that had to be worn in the beginning. This was difficult since none of the group members had fancy attire. However, the group members and I came to the conclusion to wear black clothing. This would range from black jeans, to a black dresses. The next scene was of the group getting ready in the mirror (for going out to a club). The makeup was more on the dramatic side. When  switched to the second part of the video with the more comfortable casual clothing I had to remove all of my makeup. It was difficult...

Final Day of Filming Blog

Image
  On Thursday,  November  the 30th I finished filming with my partner. This time I just came to school in NIKE shorts, NIKE shoes, and a normal T-shirt because we were only filming my legs as I was running. The filming took place at the track field again. Also, my phone was used to film all the content for this commercial. I acted in all the scenes my partner filmed today. The first scene that was filled was a tracking shot of me running. This scene was really difficult  to film. Since my partner had to follow me with the camera as I was running, the shot was extra hard to shoot. I had to match my speed with hers so that I would stay in frame. This scene was one that was re-filmed the most. The last scene was also really difficult  to film. I don't think this one turned out as well as my partner and I thought it would. However, I think it wrapped up the commercial pretty well . This scene was supposed to turn out as: the runner with the NIKE shoes on running int...
