Editing starts

Image
 After my team and I had taken that one day to start filming, we realized we did majority of the film. We are pretty sure we may need to add a little more and fix a few things but we did start editing. This past week, we had spring break and literally took a break. The past few weeks have been very busy for us between school, work, and sports so we really needed to take time to relax. We had wanted to film again last Monday but one of our partners did not know the plans and was not able to show up. We honestly weren't really prepared ot film again that day regardless. So instead we decided to chill and start editing. We didn't do much but we put all the scenes together and decided which ones to scrap. This upcoming week we are going to plan to meet up again. We are most likely going to film a little more and then continue to edit. We still have to find some suspenseful music and find some background noises. We are also going to try to edit the appearance of the scenes and try t...

1st day of filming

Image
      Today we finally started filming. We had an early release day so we were able to start pretty early. We had planned to started filming around 2:00 but our partner had to start later so he could watch his sibling until his mother came home. Everyone then arrived to my house and we started to film around 3:45. It was pretty bright outside so we had good lighting for the outdoor shots. It was also slightly windy today so we had to stop a couple of times but we had managed. We started with the outdoor films first so that we could get them out of the way first just in case of anything. We honestly got distracted a few times especially me  becauseI kept laughing. At some points we continued to laugh and overall had a lot of fun. However we were actually very productive. We had pretty much done all of the scenes and finished majority of the film.  We are scheduling another day for more filming and editing though. We might need to redo some scenes a...

Plans Cancelled

    Once again my group and I were not able to film. This weekend I had to attend my cousin's wedding. The wedding was located in  Kissimmee, Florida, which is about 3-4 hours away from where I live. I was busy packing up the day before and then we had to wake up pretty early in the morning. Today I also had a softball game making us unable to film again. One of our main concerns when discussing the project over was the daylight. Usually the sun would set by a pretty early time meaning that we would have filmed between a certain time span. However, daylight savings times changed that and now we are able to for a longer period. Thursday we for sure are going to film. The Thursday coming up will be an early release day so we will be able to get a lot done. We are going to film on Thursday because it is efficient for all of us and we will hopefully be very productive between those few hours. Again we are all very busy and have been very focused on other school work for other...

One busy week

Image
      This week my group and I did not film for our project. As I have previously said we are all very busy. I have been in school everyday and then I have softball right after. For the past 3 days I had a game each day and would get home very late. Today and tomorrow I also have practice and will be getting home by nightfall. One of my partners has been working everyday as well and was unable to film this week. Lately I have been also catching up on a lot of homework and have been studying for tests. Int is very difficult for me to concentrate on the project while having to go to sports right after school everyday. This  weekend I also have to attend to my cousin's wedding. This will be located in Kissimmee, Florida so it would be about 3-4 hours from where I live. We have decided that we will start filming in the beginning of next week. This way we are able to finally get the process going and we are able to feel relieved. We also need to start now to get ahea...

      My group and I still have not started filming for our final task. We were originally trying to film yesterday (Sunday), but all of us ended up being very busy with school. One of my partners also had to go on a trip because it was her mother's birthday over the weekend. Tonight I actually have a softball game which means I will be home late. After my game we are hoping we can all make some type of time to plan a little more for the final task. The next two days I also have games in which meaning that we are not able to film anything throughout the week. However, we are hoping we are able to start filming by next week. Overall, all three of us have a lot of assignments and sports or work to attend to. We are trying to schedule around these things so we are also able to get ahead. Hopefully we can finish the filming process done within a span of 1 week. Throughout this present week we are just going to continue to plan and improve the script. We ar...

Filming and Editing Blog

      So far my group and I have not yet started our project. We have already created the script and basically came up with the overall plot of the film. We have also figured out our location of our film and how we will run things to ensure a well-put together film and stay safe overall. This week we have not been able to start filming because we have all been very busy. Both of my partners have been staying at home to do E-learning because of Covid-19. However I have been going to school for the past two months. In addition, I play travel and school softball. I have practice every weekday for school softball and I have practice every other Saturday for my travel team.  Occasionally I have softball games as well, making my schedule very tight between school and sports. One of my partners also has a job and is not able to film on certain days as well. All in all, my partners and I aren't necessarily able to film throughout the weekdays. Even if we were to tr...

Planning Blog: Storyboard

      In the first page it starts out with a black screen which in the film will include asynchronous sound of a bell ringing. The  following scenes will then introduce the main characters and setting of the film which will also include dialogue. The next page illustrates when the kids arrive home and notice that their mom is missing. Here they see that their house has been trashed and hear a scream signalizing that their mother may be in danger. The next few illustrations basically show how the kids continue to search for their mother and confirm that she is no where to be found.
