Production Blog: A Little Obstacle

 Welcome backkkkk! It has been a while since our planning blog but my group has been very busy. As mentioned previously the last few blogs we were supposed to start filming a few weeks ago.... in our defense our schedules have not been aligning with each other. Starting a few weeks ago in all honesty we forgot, we had so much work from our other classes and after school activities that we never had time. However, last week we found out that today, February 19th, we had off from school which meant it would be perfect for us to film at least half of the movie. Since most of the scenes are in one of our houses. But everything went downhill since we decided. So today is Monday and yesterday it was POURING. The rain was so strong some of our houses got flooded. Especially our team member, Omnia, her place got completely flooded which prevented her to leave the house. Around that time she got sick and so did I. When the weather changes constantly it messes up with my noses causing me to get sick. In the last 3 days it has been hot, rainy, and cold. Got to love Florida. Soooo my nose got stuffy and I didn't take proper care which actually got me sick. I am not 100% sure on how Omnia got sick but she texted today how she had a fever and couldn't start filming today. Seeing how Omnia and I are the actors in the film we decided it was best if we didn't film today because we would just get each other sick. We are still working out dates but we will 100% film some time this week. Only issue would be our jobs, since we all work. But I am in the middle of losing and gaining hours, Harley asked for more hours due to bill they have to pay, and Omnia got her hours cut. Plus we all have busy lives that are away from school and jobs so finding a day we are all free is getting a lot more difficult. We will have a little meeting at school soon to discuss how and when we can start filming and come up with a different game plan. Sorry this wasn't the update that was anticipated but next time it will be different, hopefully. Till then wish us luck!!!

I have learned more from my group members, the field of media, mental illnesses, and over all how far our creativity can go. Our film isn't the best out there but it definitely is a good one especially with the limitation we had. I am proud of my group because somehow we pulled it together. Everyone did their parts in the project. We all played to our strengths to make this happen which was honestly the best decision when dividing up the work. We did have to have a lot of trust in one another. Bu

How to make a short film

  Writing to what you have resources to is a strong saying that we’ll have to live by when developing our plot and script. We can only write with what we have.  There’s only so much we can do with the camera that we’re filming with and the lack of mics. Knowing that we’ll need time to edit and fix the pacing of the film. We only have five minutes, so we need to be careful on how much we film and the amount we’ll cut. Over-filming is the best option, but we need to make sure the plot isn't one that doesn't have to be fully fleshed out to be able to understand. There does need to be payoffs of some sort and every scene has to provide something for the ending, there’s no room for filler. There also can’t be a lot of predictability within the film, which will be hard because of the groundhog-type day plot we might use. There has to be types of scenes that the audience won’t see coming, while also following the theme of the story. The theme will drive our plot, and it needs to be un
