Filming Blog

I haven't started filming yet because of my schedule and also my uncle's schedule. Since I'm using his house to film, I have to wait till this weekend to be able to start filming. I've also been very busy with debate and school. This weekend though, I will be filming the whole commercial and editing it as well. Debate takes up most of my time and I barely have my schedule open on the weekends too. Finding a day when my uncle is home and not busy is hard enough alone. But also finding a day when I am available is even harder. Since my friends need to come over as well to be able to film and be my actors it is hard to find a day they're available too. I had to find a day when everyone had the time to come and make sure my commercial is great and not just good and the bare minimum. I want my commercial to be great and show that a lot of effort was put into it so the planning process is a lot. Another factor is where my uncle lives. My uncle lives 40 minutes away from me. Luckily for my friends, they live a little closer so it's easier for them too. Since my only ride is my father, I have to find a time that works for him too. His schedule is super busy just like mine. So he has to make time to drive me too. My friends can get there in their cars since they drive. I also need to make final decisions on the exact shots I want and the editing I will do. All these decisions and schedules make it hard to make time to film. This weekend on Saturday is the perfect day for everyone so that's the day I will be filming.

Preparing for recording!

Image
 Hello everyone welcome back once again!! So while I wait for the day my group can record, I can get all the props and stuff ready. Since we all are recording after school, everything we need for recording needs to be taken with my group next Wednesday. To record and get good quality, we will need a decent camera. I prefer cameras over phones because they are better quality. They also make it easier to edit the video together since you can export all the shots onto a computer. My dad has. many cameras so I will ask him to borrow one. We also need someone with a steady hand to be able to record. Or we can use a tripod. personally, I prefer a tripod since it ensures the steadiness of the camera. Along with that, Isa will need to have her red dress ready. One other very important aspect will be the script. As of now, we have a vague script and layout for what will be said. I think it will be better to have more of a set script. For the next few days, I will be working on a script to m...

Unleaded (Thriller): Short Film

Image
  The short film Unleaded begins with a black screen, typical from a thriller short. The audience is only given the sound of what is revealed to be a person filling up gas at a station. A woman is shown to be sitting in her car as she looks inside the gas station. She then is shown to be watching two people robbing the gas station inside, one pointing a gun at the cashier and the other holding him down. Another car pulls into the gas station and the women watches the car very closely. What is going on in the car is then revealed. There are two men in the front and a third in the back. The two look to the back and at the third guy as he objects to going inside the gas station. It is not known if they are aware of what is going on inside, but the man who was objecting in car ends up going in, putting on a gray hoodie, and walks right past the robbers. The robbers notice and one sneaks up from behind the guy in the grey hoodie and points a gun from the back of his head telling him to ...
