Crafting a Micro-Masterpiece

 Though my group and I have not entirely finalized the filming schedule. We intend to start filming this weekend either on Sunday the 21st or Monday the 22nd, as we have a day off on the 22nd. If we do film on those one or two days we would film whatever scenes we can knock out on those days. We won't necessarily be filming in chronological order that the film will be. Meaning that our organization skills especially of the scenes must never be lacking during this process. We intend on filming the rest of the scenes, with high expectations of finishing the filming process by early February, mid-month at the latest. In terms of locations a few locations have already been predetermined as they are idealistic for filming regardless of the scenes. Downtown Ft. Lauderdale, my group member Corey's neighborhood, his house. As well as our other group member Teo and his house and his neighborhood. The only participants that will be involved in the filming and editing process are me, David, Teo and Corvelest (Corey). We intend on making our film, as on-the-edge-of-the-seat as possible, meaning we will incorporate scenes where possibly fake knives and fake guns will be used for safety and precaution purposes. no crazy props will be used other than that. Corvelest has a overcoat that will likely be used to enhance the investigator's appearance, giving him/her that stereotypical movie detective/investigator appearance from the 90's. The costumes used will be more formalized, and it will be more than just shorts, jeans, and crocs. Pants that are not jeans, regular shoes, and sweaters and button-ups will be used. In terms of back-up plans, since we're starting to film this weekend, and our final task is not due till March, if for instance one of the guys can't film this weekend, then we'll double it on the next weekend. But initiative will be taken, as well as through planning and somewhat pressure will be put on ourselves and our parents. Which is necessary if we're going to make progress, and more importantly get the film done without compromising its quality.

Production Blog: First Bits of Progress

 Originally, the plan was to start filming after spring break. However, I found out through Corey that he will be leaving for his Europe trip on Saturday. There is no school on Friday, meaning we could get some filming done that day. There is a scene where just Corey is filmed driving the car to go pick up Chelsey and Cailey. This is the scene I intend on filming Corey this Friday. The plan is, I will slide to his neighborhood early in the morning, while my dad is doing a quick construction job. During that period of time, I will film Corey leaving his house driving his mother's SUV. For about a minute I will film Corey just driving. Then I will film another scene of him driving and listening to some music. Corey is just going to drive around his neighborhood, if necessary, once or twice, onto a commercial street. Cailey and Chelsey will not be available to film that day, so their parts will be filmed after spring break. The scene of Corey driving will be filmed from a variety of a...

Production Blog: Filming Progress

      As stated in the previous blog, I was able to get some filming progress done with Corey on Friday, the first day of our spring break. Due to Cailey and Chelsey not being present, I only filmed his part. Which consisted of him driving his car, on the way to pick up Cailey and Chelsey. It was done relatively early in the morning, which is shown as the sun appears to be rising in most of the footage. Even though I am content that a little bit of progress was done. It is my goal to start filming this week, as I am heavily opposed to procrastination. Much discussion was done today with Corey, Chelsey, and Cailey. It seems that all 3 of them, as well as myself, will be available on Saturday to film. A specific time has not been established, but it seems that the filming will be done in the early morning to early afternoon. Right before lunch time, most of the filming for that day should be done. Because I am not trying to be accountable for feeding 3 souls, as that will s...

Production Blog: Not Able to Film

Image
     After the first filming session where I filmed Corey, I decided that I would need another day or two to film Corey again. This time however, Chelsey would be a part of the filming process. As she was not able to be present the last time I filmed. I discussed with Corey and Chelsey what days work for them, a few days ago. Chelsey stated that she would be available and Wednesday and Thursday. Corey stated that from Monday through Thursday he would be available. We had previously planned to film again today, Wednesday, December 14th. However, I just finished telling them that Wednesday would not work for me. Due to the fact that I have after-school tutoring for chemistry. I have a chemistry test tomorrow, that I am partially prepared for, and I'm trying to be completely prepared. On a brighter note, I am already planning to film again tomorrow, after school, along with Chelsey and Corey. I will start filming again tomorrow, at around 4:00-4:30 p.m., ...
