filming blog

My group and I have still not begun the filming for our movie. This is because, as a group, my group mates and I have been busy and unable to film. During this week we all had other activities going on. For example, Wednesday was Michael's Birthday, and Jontae and Edgardo had basketball practice during the week. Additionally, I had to stay home and baby sit my baby brother while my mom worked. However, this weekend we will begin filming our movie. This is important because next class we will need some of our footage in order to participate in the peer review activity. We will exchange footage with another group and review their work as they do the same to ours.

Our filming will begin Sunday. This is the day that my group and I decided on as it is a day that works for all of us. We will be going to Michaels house to film a majority of our movie. In order to execute this plan we need to gather all of the required materials to film. All of the materials we need in order to film are available for us to check out to film out of school. This includes the camera, a tripod, and an SD card. We needed to do this as all of the filming for the movie needed to be done outside of school. I will most likely be responsible as I am going to focus primarily on filming. While I am filming my group mates will focus on acting.

Once we begin filming my main focus will be on operating the camera and tripod. This is similar to what I did during the commercial project and the music video and we felt it worked well both times. Therefore, since we remained in the same group we also decided to maintain our same general roles during the film making process. The only difference this time is that I will be in the film playing the small role of the cop. During the filming we will closely follow our storyboard which details exactly what will be going on when. Overall, I feel like my group and I have a good plan laid out for filming this weekend. Tomorrow in class this plan will be finalized and we will check out all of our materials to film and then it is time to execute.
