Day 2:

Today, 10/5/2021 was the second day my group was able to film. We actually should've filmed last week, on 10/1/2021. Unfortunately, there was a code yellow throughout the whole school that stopped us from doing so. Since we weren't allowed to go out of the classrooms, we weren't able to film either and had to postpone it to a later date. Back to today, I wasn't able to be there with my group members to shoot today. As much as I wanted to, I had to stay home because I wasn't feeling well. However, my group was able to overcome this slight challenge. They still got to film the extra shots that we needed to reach 30 seconds for the commercial. The reason we needed extra shots was because of a conversation I had with a friend. She randomly asked how my group was doing with our commercial. During our conversation, she mentioned the many requirements of the rubric. After I was done talking to her, I checked the rubric again, just in case we missed some things the last time we filmed. Surely, we ended up missing a few things that the rubric required. I brought this up to my group members and we figured out a way to fix it and how to add in what we needed to. Sadly, as I previously mentioned I wasn't here the day we were supposed to fix this. Still, my group told me all about what I missed and how their day of shooting went. They said that everything went smoothly and they were able to get all the remaining shots they needed. They also sent me pictures and videos of the filming process and some of the final results. I could even tell that their filming and acting abilities have improved since the last time we filmed. Overall, I wasn't the happiest about having to miss a day of filming, but I am glad my group made me feel like I was there.

Plans Gone Wrong

Image
My group and I were supposed to start filming at minimum one day this weekend. My team and I had planned to get started on our film and finish at least a couple of the first clips. If not, it would at least provide a feel for how filming is going to go. Unfortunately, this was not able to be successfully done. It soon came up that my peers and I had previous commitments that weekend, which were not able to be postponed. For example, my mom told me when I got home that we would be visiting my friend out of state that weekend. I would be gone from that Friday night to the next Sunday morning. This left me no time to film since it would be too complicated to film on a school night. This is because I live so far away from everyone else in my group. By the time I got home from filming, I wouldn't be able to have enough time to sleep before I woke up at 6 the next morning. Therefore, I had to let my team know I couldn't make it that weekend. However, I assumed they would still be abl...

Storyboard for Time for Dinner

Scene 1: The first five seconds will show clouds going down with "...Presents" and "...Production Company."  Scene 2: The next scene is a tracking shot of a very vibrant neighborhood with the actors' names.  Scene 3: The camera gets closer to a house and shows the film's name. Scene 4: The camera goes into the house slowly. Scene 5: The camera continues throughout the house that looks very put together. Scene 6: The kitchen is a little messy-looking and says "The Music by..." Scene 7: Two girls are shown talking muted as the "Directed by.." is displayed. They are stiff.   Scene 8: Sara grabs a chair and sits as she says her first line stiffly. Scene 9: This is a close-up shot of Lynn and she says her first line very smiley. She has a lot of makeup on.  Scene 10: The camera turns to Sara as she says her next line wearing a lot of makeup. Scene 11: The camera watches closely as Sara gets out of her chair stiffly and asks Lynn if she wants ...

The Editing has Officially Begun

We finally finished filming all of the clips necessary for our film. The last couple of things we had to do included getting Nicole to record a couple more missing scenes at home with her tripod. After this was done, we were finally completely done with filming for this project. We were able to start on the editing immediately. One of the first things I did was record myself screaming. This was so I could add it in as a voice-over over one of the scenes. Before I could do this though, I had to make sure of some things. I made sure that I did it around the middle of the day when most people were awake. This is because I live in an apartment complex, so I didn't want to upset my neighbors. I also didn't want to upset my own family by yelling too early or late in the day. I also told my family to not be alarmed by my scream because I had to record it for a project and I told them to stay quiet during it so their voices wouldn't be heard in the background. I actually ended up...
