Time to really film


After the worker revealed there were no ropes that my group and I had been searching for, they gave another solution. The worker showed my group and me the jump ropes instead. While nobody was really thrilled about the idea, this all soon changed. There was a pink and blue jump rope, which wasn't what anyone was initially looking for but ended up being what was used. Everyone thought it was perfect because the colors perfectly matched the barbie aesthetic. Once this was taken care of, there was the last issue left to tackle, the spoon. My group and I searched high and low throughout the store for a seemingly large spoon, yet it was nowhere to be found. Violet, Dara, and I even went as far as asking another worker if the store had any large spoons. The worker revealed there were none in the store, only regular-sized spoons. Sadly, there was no other alternative option this time like there was with the rope. My group and I decided to check out and go begin filming before the cake melted. My team and I even debated going to another shop to look for the spoon, but it was decided that this would waste too much time, especially since there was such a time crunch that day. I paid for the cake while Dara paid for the rope and then Violet drove to Addison's house to begin the process. The first thing that was done when my group and I got to Addison's house was to set up where the shots would take place and get the rest of the needed props like spoons, plates, juice, and everything else ready. Addison and Violet did hair and makeup while Dara and I set the scenes. Then, when everyone was ready we immediately began shooting. My group and I ran into little to no problems while filming. Small issues, like Addison's dog getting in the way, arose, but issues like these were quickly fixed. For example, Dara and I would take turns holding the dog while the other would film. Unfortunately, we had to cut filming short because we had mixed up the time of the Cambridge awards night. Violet, Dara, and I previously thought the show began at 6:30pm. However, it was quickly realized that it started at 6:00pm, and if we didn't leave immediately everyone would be late. My team and I decided to continue filming the next day to finish the couple of scenes we had left while Violet, Dara, and I rushed to leave and make it to the award night.

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...
