Additional Filming Blog

   My team mates and I still have yet to film but we do plan on doing so very soon. Last blog, I told you guys about our disagreements and the ugly side of what’s been going on. Moving forward, my team mates and I are now on the same page. We all have every intention of making the filming journey successful by working together, efficiently and diligently. The scheduled filming appointment amongst us all is this upcoming Saturday. We will be meeting up at my team mate, Janell, house. Although we do not have a set time of when we’ll be meeting up, it is likely that the girls, Janell and Micahia will meet up at 3. I go to work Saturday morning from 11am to 4pm. After work, I will be headed over to Janell’s place. Eventually Eric will join us and then the filming process will begin.
   This Saturday, my team mates and I will begin the filming process. We are on limited time and because of this, we will try to film as much as we can. We plan on filming the most important scenes and leaving the less important ones for next weekend. However, we do have a major problem that I honestly don’t know how we’ll solve. I have faith that we’ll be able to figure it out but as of right now, I’m not too sure. This major problem is that we do not have as many props as we would like. Also, we don’t have as many props as we included into our story script. This weekend will be full of improvise and compromise. We’ll try our best to make ends meet. All in all, I’m very excited about this weekend and the results of our film as I know it’ll be an amazing outcome.

Filming Blog

   This blog was suppose to be based on what my team mates and I have been able to film thus far. However, we did not get to film this past weekend. The presented picture was inserted so that I can show you guys apart of the reason why my teammates and I didn’t get to film. We couldn’t come to an agreement on things. I think that we make a decent group and we are  able to get along but for some reason, when it came down to filming, our communication skills were very poor. Fortunately, this will no longer be a problem. I have talked to each one of my team mates individually and with care. I like to consider myself as someone who is very understanding and I make sure I demonstrate that to those around me. My team mates felt comfortable enough to confide in me and let me know what’s going on in their lives. This was very important as it got them to trust me as a team mate and someone who was willing to listen.
  Another reason why we weren’t able to film this past weekend is because all of us deal with more than just school. We couldn’t not get our schedules to line up. The girls and I all have jobs and Eric deals with family issues. All of us did not have the same free day and because of that, could not pick a day to film. The days that were available for me may not have been available for Micahia or even Eric. At the end of the day, we’re all still under the age of 18 and Micahia’s the only one who has a car. We are not able to just walk out the house and simply inform our parents that we’ll be back. We have to inform them and get their permission first. However, fortunately this is no longer an issue. We planned out our filming day a while back and the girls and I were able to schedule certain days off along with the fact that Eric  was able to talk to his parents in advance and get their consent.

Shooting Script

Attached below is the shooting script. You cannot have a film without planning what will be in it and its sound. Hence the names of the blogs: shooting script and sound script. To summarize, a shooting script is what will happen in your film. Where the scenes take place, who will be in it, the action, that type of thing. A sound script is all the sound that will be included in the scenes. When my group and I were working on this, we had to make sure that the sound and the scenes were matching up. We also had a little trouble coming up with what we would include, but we figured it out. These scripts were created on Google Slides. Embedded in this blog is the shooting script.

Sound and Dialogue Script

Attached below is the sound and dialogue script. One necessary step when planning a film is the writing of scripts. In film, there are two types of scripts, shooting script, and sound script. Shooting script has what will be filmed, and what camera angles are to be used. The sound script contains not only the dialogue, but also background noises that are to be featured. When writing the dialogue script, my group and I had to truly put our pitch into action. We needed to come up with dialogue and sounds that fit not only the pitch, but also the genre. Once we came to a conclusion of the events and scenes of our film, the writing was able to begin. To make the script, we used Google Slides. This allowed for an organized way to showcase which scenes contain which sound. Embedded in this blog is the sound script.
