Perfecting Scenes Reshoot




Instead of meeting up to film additional scenes, my team mates and I decided to use our extra time to reshoot some small scenes. This was done to clean up our work. This break to us is not just time off. We thought we should change that type of mindset and simply consider it time to go towards the future. Time to continue to do what you were doing and perfect it. We went over the scenes of the child walking up to the kidnapper. Also, we reshot the scene where the mom and stranger got to know each other. This time we got up close and personal so that the dialogue can be heard. This was a fun time. I enjoyed myself as I got to meet new people.
  Some more things I would like to reshoot in the future is the police officers scene. I feel that it could’ve been better. My teammates and I plan on meeting up soon so that we can continue filming and wrapping up the process. It’s almost time. We also have begun the process of editing but I’ll talk about that soon enough. As of right now, my teammates  and I are keeping our toes dipped in every requirement of this movie assignment. We would not like to miss a beat. Working towards our future is always first and foremost. The Cambridge Diploma would really help us secure our future. With Faith, Positivity, Determination, and Love, anything can be accomplished.

Another Additional Filming Blog

It’s official guys! My teammates and I finally got to film. The process took place at a park this past weekend. Everything went smoothly and everyone was very cooperative. We had to include other people in this filming process as it turned out to be more than what we bargained for. We had the help of four other people. One of them being the precious little girl we used as the child who got kidnapped. The setting of our scene was really beautiful as you can see from the picture. It screams excitement and that’s exactly what I feel a park should do. The only missing person from the group was Erik.
My teammates and I will continue filming this weekend. We’re almost done. As I mentioned before, Erik was not present in our first shooting link up but he definitely  plans on coming out this time around. Not only will he be present but he’ll be acting as well. You guys will finally get to meet the mysterious Erik. I speak about him sometimes and yet he’s someone that you guys have never seen. Well this weekend will settle all your wonders. My teammates and I plan on finalizing our film. After this, we are surely to begin the editing process. I can’t wait as I know the finished product will be amazing.

Peer Review


   One thing I really liked about this film was it’s ability to intrigue without exaggerating anything beyond belief. Just the right amount of details were given in order to hold ones attention. It makes one want to continue watching for all the right reasons. An example of this can include romantic movies/scenes. It is likely that women are the ones to like romantic movies but contrary to popular belief, women do not like just any romantic movie. It’s only the ones that are realistic. So realistic that it makes you think of your own life. It makes you relate. That’s exactly what this film did. All the right, realistic, and relatable details were just enough.
   One suggestion I would make to the film is fixing the sound. The background is too windy. Dialogue can barely be heard. A way to fix this can be by using take wind over the scenes. This can be done through editing. Another way can be to change the setting of the scene, if possible. Maybe this will help minimizing the winds. Additionally, there aren’t titles present in the movie. I would suggest that they insert that soon to that it’ll tie the movie together. Spice things up in a way also.
