Production blog: The pool scene

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 even got some bloopers of my friends throwing me in the pool even AFTER i changed into fresh clothes. Once we finished filming, we went over to Jibril's place to film the evidence board scene in between the house and Lussac. We found a cool website that searched up "real police officers". In the app we uploaded a picture of Nick who played Lussac and it looked like he was a real officer. After filming the scene me and Alec left Jibril's place. After dropping Alec off home, I went home too and called it a day.

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...
