Planning for the Final Task: Schedule, Location, and more

 Hey guys, for this blog I'll be talking about many things. I'll address my schedule, location, participants, and health and safety.

Schedule: 

For this project I plan on shooting throughout the weekend. Being that most of my participants are high school students and they have their duties, filming through the weekend would be best. I plan to begin editing after I finish shooting. I do plan on filming any shots that I may have forgotten or need to try again during the editing process if needed. My schedule will look like this.

Shooting- March 6th and 7th and March 13th and 14th if needed. During the 6th and 7th I'll be shooting all shots in the outside location and filming any shots I can on the inside. The 13th and 14th will be to film any shots that I may have not gotten

Editing- I'll be editing on Adobe Premiere Pro during March 8th and 14th. I'll be adding finishing touches throughout the week and finalizing by the 14th.

Location: 

My two locations will be at my house and outside my grandma's house. My house will be where I will film my shots on the inside and one of the locations where a character will be jogging. Outside my grandmas house is a train track which plays a role for the opening sequence and is the second place where a character jogs. 

Health and Safety:

This opening sequence has a scene in the kitchen and an active stove, for that purpose I'll be making sure to have someone watching in case of a problem. I'll also have the same person there in case of an accident while I have one of my actors run. Due to the pandemic I decided to keep the amount of people from my immediate family to a minimum. I'll have my one friend and my family who is participating tested for Covid-19 to prevent anyone who may have it or is exposed from spreading it.

The In Between

 Hey guys, so for this blog I'll be talking about the week before our second day of filming on the 23rd. After filming on the first day we filled in Anya on everything that happened the first day and decided that we would film again on the 23rd. Leading up to that date Daniellla had helped me get access to Adobe Premeire Pro so I can begin editing. She also uploaded all the videos we filmed on to google drive so we can have easy access to it. We took some videos and photos on Ben's phone and had those sent so we can get the different angles and bloopers. We decided the next steps were to figure out our location and plan for the second day of filming. Originally we thought it would be best to film the first two minutes of the film and get those out of the way. We also wanted to make sure that Anya was well enough to help us film so she we can get her scenes done. We weren't able to use Anya's house to film so we agreed on Danni's house. We were to film at the same ti...

Short Film Research: Tangles and Knots

  A sticky, intimate bond between mother and daughter becomes threatened when the mother helps her teenage daughter throw a party to impress new, popular friends. Sound: In the dialogue, there is no difference in how the mother and daughter speak to each other, speaking more like friends than mother and daughter. However, when the party starts, the mom begins interjecting herself into the daughter's conversations, teaching her how to take a jello shot and encouraging her to come into the pool. The added sound contributes to the setting, with dance music that helps bring the idea of it being a party altogether. This is made apparent when there is no dialogue and the daughter is just dancing, where all that can be heard is the music she's dancing to. There is no dialogue that needs to be understood or listened to, more so the viewer can focus on the daughter's awkward movements and how she feels in that moment. Mis-en-scene: The opening scenes work as a good introduction to ...

Planning for the next shoot

 Hey guys, so not much has changed since the last blog. My friend still has COVID and I don't see a time that we'll be able to film the final scenes yet. Fortunately he has gotten better but as far as safety is concerned I don't see a possibility for filming. My new plan for now is to begin editing. Since I filmed the scenes in chronological order I can begin preparing the first cut of the film. This will allow me to see if there are any scenes which may need to be reshot or if I'm missing any scenes that need to be filmed. At first my editing plan was to use Adobe Premiere Pro as I have for my previous projects, but the computer I was using can't handle the program and started malfunctioning. Right now the deadline is nearing and I've been stopped in my tracks due to my friend getting infected. I plan on doing one of two things in order to go around these problems of mine. First plan is to get through filming even with my actor being infected. To do that I will...
