Filming Blog

     Hello guys! Over the weekend I was unable to film again due to a busy schedule throughout between my partner and I. She had work and other plans while I attended to my girlfriend’s birthday weekend plans. Though we both were super busy and unable to film we still made time to ensure our plans to film this weekend were a hundred percent. We secured our location and made sure we’ll be free during the designated time. We tried to see if we could squeeze in time to film over t weekend, but it ultimately failed. We both weren’t free at certain times the other was or we were both busy at appropriate times. And through our best efforts nothing prevailed, unfortunately. On the bright side we can finally film this weekend and get into the best part about the project. Now here’s why I was super busy over the weekend.
     Friday was my girlfriend’s birthday so she invited me over to her house to go enjoy a nice meal and get together with her family. It was fun and the food was really good and I got home around 9 which made it impossible to film. Saturday, my girlfriend invited me to brunch with some more of her family around 11 in the morning. After brunch, my girlfriend, her friends, and I all went to the beach to chill around 1 in the afternoon. We all got bored and decided to change into our regular clothes and go to the hotel my girlfriend’s dad and was staying at. This was the first time I met her dad and honestly I was really nervous, but it was great. I got home around 9 again making it impossible to film, yet again. Then on Sunday, my partner was busy before 2:30 and at that time I  went to go see my uncle I haven’t seen in a while. We went over and played games and talked about how life was. Then we got to eat and open Christmas presents he wasn’t here to give us.

     Hello guys! I was not able to film over the weekend because I was really busy and had a lot of work to do. It would’ve been really difficult to squeeze in any amount of time to filming so my partner and I decided to wait until next weekend. My partner was also really busy because she had to go to work and that made it even more difficult to come up with a plan. We both agreed that we would set aside a weekend to film our movie. I went through the precautions of making sure everything was set for that weekend on Sunday night. I made sure our set wasn’t going to be occupied and that we both could make it to the set relatively quick. I also made sure to make  ourselves available for the designated time slot we planned to film during. I can’t wait to start filming and editing this movie though! It’s going to be so exciting and a very interesting process.
     Over the weekend I did a lot of things I had planned for a while. I went to the fair with my girlfriend on Saturday nearly all day. Towards the end of the day I went and ate with her at Chick-Fil-A and then went home around 9. Sunday, I stayed home and cleaned all day because my mom basically forced me to because I was out all day Saturday. Also I spent time with a friend and played video games all day just to really catch up. On Monday, I went to the beach with my girlfriend and her family nearly all day. We spent time together and had a lot of fun at the beach and went and got food after. When i got home around 5 I did all of my homework. All of this made it impossible to film during the weekend which really sucked. I really looked forward to doing it and now I’m super anxious about filming!

Title Design Blog

   The google slide attached shows an outline for our title sequence idea for our movie shoot. This will help us during the editing process so we know hoe to make our titles. The google slide helps us by also making whatever is on it accessible on our mobile phones just in case we forget anything. Using google slides was a good idea and it differs from our last project. It helps everything be more organized and is very good if you're on a time crunch. We really like the google slide addition because it has everything available to us wherever we are especially during the editing process. Now that we have our title sequence idea donet, we can trust we have strong idea and plan for our titles. The google slide can also help you guys understand why we put certain fonts and sizes on words. We are excited that we get to start filming soon! See ya in the next blog.

Schedule, Location, Participants, and Health/Safety Blog

   The google slide attached shows a schedule/planning idea for our movie shoot. This will help us stay on track and on schedule throughout the filming process. The google slide helps us by also making whatever is on it accessible on our mobile phones just in case we forget anything. Using google slides was a good idea and it differs from our last project. It helps everything be more organized and all planned out. We really like the google slide addition because it was everything lined out for us. Now that we have mostly everything planned out, we can begin shooting. The google slide embeded below includes our schedule, the location, participants, and health/safety. We are excited that we get to start filming soon! See ya in the next blog.

Sound and Dialogue Script

The attached google slide is the dialogue and sound script for the opening of our movie. It includes the multiple conversations between the main characters and numerous diegetic sounds that are heard by the audience. Making this helps the actors to stay along track and to also be used to produce the movie correctly and orderly. The use of the google slide gives us access to it as long as we have a mobile device or laptop. The google slide also helps show the what scenes are what to the producers and/or actors. The google slide was easy to make and use and went relatively quicker than a storyboard. It was much more enjoyable and made it much quicker than drawing the scenes. Showing this google slide allows the audience to also see how things are expressed in the actual scenes and what is said and meant. We will begin storyboarding soon though and that’s where we really begin to start the process. And after that we will begin filming, have a nice day!

Shooting Script Blog

So today's blog is our shooting script. For our shooting script, we planned it out on google slides.We have a total of 12 slides which include the scenes that will be in our movies.. Each slide has a different scene on it. Today in class, Jeffery and I came up with the shooting script together. We did have a few disagreements about coming up with some parts but we finally agreed on something. We came up with some very good ideas. I think our script is straightforward and I'm excited to see all of this get put together. We also get to start filming soon! See you in the next blog.
