Day 2 filming

 Today was my group’s second day of filming. Today, we finished up our short film! It went great. Unlike yesterday, today we knew it would take a while to get ready. For this reason, we got to Addie’s house a little earlier. When we go there, we began to quickly get ready. This time, I knew what makeup Addie has in mind, so I could do a lot of it myself to save us some time. It still took a lot of time to get ready, but today we had a bit more time because we got there earlier and could leave later. Once ready, we hastily began filming. We picked up right where we left off: around the end of the second scene. We had to work out a few filming issues. For example, Sara is supposed to be hiding a rope from Lynn, but we kept running the scene in a way that Lynn could easily see the rope. After quite a few tries, we finally nailed it. Moving along, we moved locations to the bedroom because that is where the third scene is filmed. We realized that the room was a little messy, so we neatened it up before filming. This included moving things that we wouldn’t want to be in frame: dirty laundry, shoes, medicine, etc. we filmed this portion reasonably quickly, and incorporated some really cool angles and filming strategies. We completed out filming, and were so happy with the final scenes! After, we helped Addie with finding things around her house to record as part of our intro. We chose things that we could easily put text over to have our titles play. I am very happy with our progress so far. Next step: editing!

A second opinion

Image
 After a long journey with many ups and downs, our film is nearly to the finish line. Today, my group and I decided that a second opinion on our film would be a great idea. Mila said she would ask her mom to watch. Dara said she would ask her stepdad. Addie said she would ask her dad. I was going to ask one of my parents as well, but I realized I wanted someone less biased. I thought about the people I knew well enough to get a second opinion from, and whom from that group would be willing to give an honest review. I thought about my brother. Initially, I had passed that option off as being to biased because he is my immediate family. However, it occurred to me that he is actually very much into the film world. He loves cinema and analyzing media. I knew also that he would not hold back the truth.  Suddenly, it seemed stupid of me to get anyone else’s opinion. So, I brought the film to him for him to watch. He agreed to give his honest opinion. When he began to watch, he made ...

Pitching Ideas

Image
 Our group came up with a few pitches for our project: Pitch 1: A little girl's imagination gets out of hand one afternoon. Pitch 2: A girl is doing homework when suddenly she finds a mysterious note left in her book for her.  Pitch 3: A young mom is driving to pick up her son from school, when out of the blue and friend from her past comes her way.  Pitch one is an ideal one for our group, as it can involve girl characters, and our group has four girls. This leaves us options for us to have someone to film, which is good so we don't have to go out of our way to find another cameraman. This, along with the fact that the wording allows for wiggle room, is a pro to pitch 1. However, we would have to take extra steps to find a little girl to play one of the parts, which adds a bit of a challenge, but I think our group is up for that. Pitch 2 is also a reasonable pitch for our group, because we can have one of us acting and the rest of us tackling other responsibilities. Howe...
