Scheduling to Film Again

 After finding new actors, this comes with new problems to overcome. I now have to plan for a new date to film since my parents and grandfather have to go to work during the week. It seems as if problems keep on coming every time I try to get ahead and start filming. I couldn't start filming the day I wanted to start filming due to the fact that my mother had to work that day. I decided to discuss with everyone who is going to be involved with the film, when it would be best to start filming. We had to take a lot of things into consideration like when would everyone not have work, and what time would work best. We all decided that during the week wouldn't work at all since we all have obligations to attend to. However, since it was close to spring break we decided that during spring break it would work best to film. I do not have any school during spring break, thus I would be free to film. Also my parents and grandfather have a couple days off during that time so we could all film. Now that we have the date set for filming, we finally are able to start filming. I had to assign roles to them for them to memorize their lines, and know what to do when we start filming. I also went over the blocking of each scene with the help of my storyboard that I created previously. I went over the camera angles I would be using so no one is surprised about anything when we start to film. We also went over what time would be best to start filming, since we still need to have time to run errands and such. We decided to create a specific time schedule for everyday we plan to film. This schedule also takes into consideration things like times we need to eat and other things we must do during this time. I also talked to them about how I may need multiple days to film and edit, to see if anything needs to be filmed again. We also took that into consideration when planning our schedule for that week. I'm very excited to finally start filming, and I hope that there aren't any more obstacles going to prevent me from filming.

Planning to Film: Items Needed

Image
 I decided not to film this weekend due to the fact that I didn't have all the items needed. In a previous blog I mentioned all of the items I needed to film. The past weekend I decided to dedicate it to making a list and buying everything I needed for the film. If I didn't dedicate this weekend to buying all of the materials I needed, I would not be able to film. I would rather film fully prepared with everything I need before hand, than start filming and not have anything. Without all of the proper items needed to film, this film would not be complete and would overall take longer. This weekend I looked around my house to see what I had, and what I could use as props for my film. I looked all around my house since I would like to use items I already had instead of going out and buying items that are unneeded. I found some items that could be used within the film, in my house, thus bringing down the cost. However, I couldn't find all of the items I needed for the film. Sin...

Planning to Film

 I can not film during the week due to school and other obligations I have. Instead of not being proactive about filming, I decided that I am going to see what I need to do before I film. I looked at what props I would need for the film, and seeing what I would need to do to attain that. I decided that I will probably need some rope for my final task, so I have to see how much it costs, and where to buy it. I also must decide when I am going to go out and buy the rope with my parents since I don't have a car. I also must decide who I want to act in the film and who they are going to play. After I decide who I want to be in the film, and who they are going to play, I have to contact them. I plan to start filming and having everything I need by next weekend, so that gives me a lot of time to plan. I also plan to film throughout spring break since I will be able to film during the week since we will not have school. I also must start thinking about how much this project may cost with ...

Genre Research: Action

 I conducted research this year on the action genre of movies where I discussed the different aspects of the genre of action movies. I made sure in the powerpoint to add different pictures and examples of each term I researched. I specifically used pictures from action movies to show how each term was used and to show action examples. I discussed the lighting in action movies, which typically tends to be low-key lighting, high-key lighting, and Rembrandt lighting. I used pictures from movies like "Fight Club" to show the use of this lighting in these movies. I discussed the camera angles in action movies, which tend to be establishing shots, ariel shots, close up shots, mid shots, and high angle shots. I used the establishing shot from the Harry Potter series to use has an example to show an example of an establishing shot. I discussed the movement that is used in action movies which are pans, zooms, reverse zooms, tilt, and crane shots. I discussed the mise-en-scene in actio...
