filming complete

 Welcome back! Filming is finally complete. We finished filming on Thursday. We filmed multiple attempts of each scene. I regret not finishing the filming process earlier because it put our group on a time crunch. We were still able to complete filming on time though. The last day we were planned to film i was out of town.  I video called my group before they started filming. We took a look at the storyboard for one last time and we discussed the last scenes we needed to film to complete our short film. i also informed them to let me know if any changes occurred.  This is a very satisfactory feeling as we are ready to move on to the editing process. We have scheduled a backup day to film just in case an error occurs in editing and we need to re-film a scene. The overall filming process ran pretty smooth. I think it was so smooth due to the prior filming experience and knowledge each of us had. Our prior experience from our opening sequence last year gave us insight to when we should start filming and editing to be able to finish in a timely manner. It also gave us insight to how many clips we should take of each scene so we wouldn't have to re-film. Overall it was really helpful to the entire filming process. the entire filming process took approximately 3 days. With each of our busy schedules it was a perfect amount of time to finish efficiently. i can almost picture how the film is going to turn out before we've even started editing. This makes me eager to start the editing process as it shows that the film can only improve from here.

 welcome back! In the previous blog i discussed how i got sick a couple days before filming. I had to find a solution to the issue. I contacted my group members, a day before our planned filming day, letting them know that i wouldn't be able to attend. They informed me that it would be okay because the scenes being filmed didn't require every group member to be in it. I still wanted to be included because i know from our previous times filming that during the process we often make changes from the storyboard to better our film. These changes take place during the actual process of filming each scene as sometimes we realize that our storyboard is complicated to follow exactly.  I think it's important for each group member to contribute by adding their input to these changes as it adds as much perspective as possible. I wondered how it would be possible for me to add input to these changes if i couldn't physically be there. I remembered last year when filming an opening s...

How to make a short film

  Blog 3 What is the take away from the video?   I have acknowledged all the aspects and things needed to make a film. I learned the writing tips, production and post production steps and procedures. I could take away that there are ways to be better prepared for filming then I have before.     What good information did you gather while watching  it?   Budgeting and the resources you have access to will be crucial throughout the entire making of the film. When editing, cut the scenes down until you can't anymore which will shorten the film to just the important parts of it. Preparation is key for a film. However, even if you create a storyboard for the entire film, there still may be changes while making it. Stick to a theme and a tone and let it guide the story. If you do not do so, it will confuse the audience. Lastly, taking care of your cast is important because if you do not have respect them, they may not make it as easy to film.     How do ...
