Final Day of Filming?

 The last day of filming for our horror/thriller movie was approaching, and Jibril, Max, and I were determined to get everything we needed. We had a list of shots we still needed to capture, and we wanted to make sure we had enough footage to work with in the post-production process. We arrived early on the last day of filming, eager to get started and make the most of our time. We divided up the remaining shots among ourselves and worked efficiently to capture each one. We had to be creative in some instances, improvising shots when we couldn't get the exact angle we wanted. We also had to work around some unexpected obstacles, such as poor weather conditions and equipment malfunctions. We remained focused and determined, keeping our eye on the prize of creating a quality horror/thriller movie. After a long day of filming, we were finally able to capture everything we needed. We packed up our equipment and headed back to the editing suite to start the post-production process. We transferred all the footage onto our computer and began reviewing it, making notes on which shots we wanted to use and which ones we could cut. We also took the time to organize the footage, labeling each shot so it would be easier to find during the editing process. We worked together to create a rough cut of the film, piecing together the footage we had captured and adding temporary music and sound effects. We made adjustments and tweaks to the footage, refining it until it was ready for post-production. As we worked, we realized that we needed some additional footage to fill in some gaps in the story. We added the new footage to the film and continued refining it until it was ready for post-production. With the rough cut in hand, we were excited to move onto the post-production process, where we could start adding the final touches to our film. We knew that the last day of filming had been a challenge, but we were grateful for the experience and the lessons we had learned along the way. We were ready to move onto the next phase of our filmmaking journey, eager to see what the future held. Looking back, the last day of filming was a critical moment that brought our team together and set us on the path to success in the post-production process.

Production and Transportation

 Although we are eager to begin working, our group has been very slow to progress. Each of us has been very busy with school and tests, leaving less time that we can all congregate to consistently film. We also have additional extracurriculars that limit the opportunities we have from meeting up together. Now this would be nearly impossible if we had to rely on our parents to drive us from place to place. It would also inconvenience everyone if we try and make a small adjustment to our schedules. Luckily, Maximus is eligible to drive and was planned drive us to our filming locations. These would include his and Jibril's houses. After this planning earlier in the year, we had expected our meeting dates to be flexible with this in mind. Unfortunately, the unexpected has constantly struck. For example, the car had to be repaired in the shop and was unavailable for about a week. Again, this left us with less available time for production of our film. This really hurt our motivation to ...

Planning: Storyboard

Scenes 1-6 In the beginning of the film, the first shot will establish the dark setting of the scene. It will be an establishing shot that tilts on a street to show the moonlight night and a small suburban neighborhood. The next three scenes introduce the interior of the house and the victims of the killer's first crimes. Scenes 7-12 The main protagonist will come home, sensing that something is not right, and wander a quiet home. He will soon make the discovery that his family was murdered and will fill with vengeance. Scenes 13-18 The father of the family will use the police to ask for help finding the, but with no luck. After some time passes, we can still see the emotional trauma the loss has caused. We feel that this helps develop the character. Scenes 19-24 The father, now motivated to avenge his family, will recruit his friends for help and take matters in their own hands. They will find evidence that will begin a chase for the killer. Scenes 25-30 The next scenes show the d...

Recurring Issues

Today we faced challenges during our shoot. One of the biggest challenges was getting the right shot under the right conditions.   There were times when we had to wait for the perfect lighting or weather conditions, which could take hours. Even when we had the right conditions, it could take a long time to get the perfect shot. One example of this was when we were filming a particular scene outside in the park. We had to wait for the sun to set just enough to create the desired effect, and then we had to make sure the camera was in the right position to capture the shot. It took about an hour to get just one shot under those conditions, but we knew it was worth the effort to create the desired effect. We also had to contend with other factors like noise and distractions from passersby, which could ruin a shot if not handled properly. We had to be patient and persistent, making sure we got the shot we needed before moving on to the next scene. It was a lesson in perseverance and ded...
