Production blog -Planning

My team and I did a lot of research on different types of genres to help with our project. I looked into horror and thrillers to kind of get a feel of common angles and sounds used. This would provide help when beginning to film our scenes. My Team and I began to discuss dates that would and wouldn't work. I knew that I would be free on the weekends and anytime after 3 on the weekdays. I also knew that there would be a few days when I wouldn't be able to film because of a birthday or special event. Spring break is coming up so I knew that I would have a little more availability if I didn't have any trips coming up. My team on the other hand also had a mix of days they could and could not film. My team had either a family event to attend or school-related reasons. This makes planning days a little bit harder because not everyone will be able to attend on those days of filming.  So my team and I still have to discuss and work out dates to film, especially for the actors involved. We want to make sure that everyone is there for the days that we need them. This will take a lot more planning but we also still have limited time. So I have to communicate with my family on times that would be best for my team and me. Hopefully, my team can find days and we all can work together to come to an agreement on what days would be best. I know that weekends for my family would be the best and easiest because everyone would be available. I know that the weekends may be easier for me but maybe not my team. So planning might be easier knowing what days would work best for everyone. We still have to work out specific dates that we would be filming so they are set in stone. I'm excited to film and cant wait to begin.

production : costumes/ props

 A big component of the film was costumes. In the first scene, I wanted the couple to look comfortable, maybe wearing pajamas or super casual clothing. Since they will be on the couch I thought that maybe pajamas would be best. After discussing it with my team we all decided on pajamas. Maybe be striped pajamas or maybe all one color pajamas. I'm thinking about this hard because I feel like it would be very important to the scene and it might add or take away attention to the plot. The little girl with the doll would be wearing a dress or something kinda creepy. The dress would probably look similar to the doll or resemble it and have similar colors to it. I was thinking about shirt and jeans for the little girl holding the doll but I felt that wouldn't be creepy enough. So the dress is for now. I discussed this with my team and they agreed with me on this matter. So the first scene was done when it came to the dream. Next, it was the girl who woke up from her dream. She would ...

Filming Blog: Senior patio

Image
 Today I went out with my group to began day two of shooting. The second I walked outside I could feel the sun beating on me. my teammates also felt how hot it was. I went down the stairs and proceeded to walk to the bathroom to change. I walked in and changed really quick because we didn't have that much time today. After I was done changing I walked to the senior patio and saw my teammates setting up the shot and discussing what we need to do. When I went to the table we started talking about how we needed to reshoot the shot from the last day of filming. I ran into a problem with my team though. One of my teammates didn't have the same outfit on as last time so instead, we had to redo the whole shot. After we came to that conclusion my team and I had to find a grey jacket to use so we didn't have to redo the shot. This would save us so much time. I realized one of our teammates had a grey jacket on but she didn't want to take it off because she didn't have a shir...

Let’s Get Our Groove On !!!

  My group has not yet decided on a song for our music video. We have, however, devised a list of songs that we could do. We also thought about where we would film them, and what the story for the video would be like. One song picked was   Time of  Our Lives   by Pitbull and Ne-Yo. This song is very upbeat so we thought about filming it in a car driving down the road with the roof down heading to the beach. The song talks about having a good time so we wanted to show us being worry-free and having fun.      There is no exact costume to wear for a music video. What we wear will depend on the type of music that is featured. For example, if we were to do  Time of Our Lives , we would be in casual attire such as t-shirts and shorts or swimsuits for the beach scene.  Props also differ based on the type of music and location where the video is filmed. In this case, we would need a car with an open roof or sunroof, maybe a boombox, and beach supplie...
