Our first day “filming”

 Today is our first day “filming” the title sequence. We call it filming but really we didn’t get a single piece of film. Me, Andy, and Jibril went to all the locations that we planned to film in so we could check them out. Firstly, we went to andy complex, it’s right next to Oakland park so we walked there next. Both locations were great spots for our filming so we went to the next one. We then went to the local gas station and alley way, we also went by the gym just in case. Everything was going according to plan, and all the locations were great for filming. Secondly, we chose the roles of the characters. We knew Andy was going to be the protagonist so we decided between me and Jibril and jibril said he wanted to film. Now, I’m the main antagonist. We agreed that we would all play the part of mafia members (with masks) and some of our friends said they would help us too. Overall, we think we’re good with the filming aspect. Lastly, we chose what editing software to use. Andy recommends shortcut but since he’s in communicative technology he has access to premiere pro. In the end, it’s up to him. We went over all the information together again. At home, we chose a more precise schedule of what days we were gonna film. We fixed up our schedule and talked about editing. Andy said he would be lead editor again. After that we all said our goodbyes and called it a day.

Signing off for today.

Production blog: The pool scene

Image
Today's the day of the major pool scene. Me and my friends got together at school and went to my car. We stopped by dominoes to pick up some pizza because we were absolutely starving. Afterwards, we went by Jibril's place to pick up his cop costume. Honestly its just a blue trench coat and a police badge we got from the dollar store, but we gotta stay economic. We went to my place and absolutely devoured the pizza. Oh and i forgot to mention, my Amazon package containing fake blood and fake cyanide pills came. We could use the cyanide for the scene we were going to film. Now, it was time to record. We filmed the scene of me entering the house for the first time with the murder scene being crystal clear. We then recorded the scene of me tackling officer Lussac into the pool and dragging him out. This was one of the most fun scenes i've filmed in my life. The fake cyanide looked really cool when Lussac broke it into his mouth. It looked like he was having a real seizure. We e...

How to Make A Short Film

  My takeaway from the video was: Start by coming up with an idea for your short film. This could be inspired by a personal experience, a news story, or just a concept that you find interesting. Write a script for your short film. This should include dialogue, action, and descriptions of the setting and characters. Gather a team of people to help bring your short film to life. This may include actors, a director, a cinematographer, and other crew members. Create a shot list and storyboard for your short film. This will help you visualize each scene and plan out the camera angles and movements. Set up a schedule for filming and rehearse with your cast and crew. Make sure everyone knows their roles and is prepared for the shoot. Choose locations for filming that are suitable for your script and storyboard. You may need to scout out multiple locations before deciding on the final one. Set up the lighting and camera equipment to achieve the desired look and feel for your short film. Re...

Finalizing the filming

Image
  It’s been awhile since I’ve done any modifications on the sequence with me being busy with school and all that. It’s been a long time since I’ve done any work so I decided to discuss with my group on what we should do next moving forward. I and the others knew that we would have to get at least one of these days to film together, so we made a plan and set a date to meet and film. After figuring out each person’s availability, I and the others decided on the upcoming Thursday to film together a major chunk of the scenes. Once Thursday arrived, we all met in an area of a plaza that had the perfect visual of an alley way for the sequence. To begin, I first had the idea of finishing up the beginning scenes that were missing due to just me being apart of the recording. Since Jibril was to be the enemy in this scene, he and Andy were going to be in the scene while I recorded them. The first scenes me and Jibril filmed were the meeting, in which his character would be discovered by mine...
