Production: Change of Plans! We gotta go back!

    Today my partners and I decided we should change our location. We were gonna use the park near Alex's house. However, after consideration, we realized that we did not have everything we need to film an action-type theme in that small park. So we got to brainstorming on new locations.
    I started looking for some locations near all three of us. One place I found called TY park which I am a little familiar with. This park is popular but not overflowing with people to the point that we can not film. The park also has multiple different types of structures that could be used for our filming like big stone walls. The park also has hills and general terrain which will help with any scenes that our soldiers need cover in or are underway in some battle. This park is also relatively close to all of us so we will not have too much trouble meeting there on time. Another thing better about this park is the vast amount of space we have to film. This park is almost four times as big as the other park!
     Christian found a park really close to us three but what we were looking for was not there. As it had a very flat grassy terrain. While we needed an environment that was rougher and included hills. Alex also found another park that had the rough terrain that we were looking for. However, it was far away from Christian and me. This park was also on the small side and would most likely be cramped with people.
    So in the end we made the final decision to use TY park as our filming location. We chose TY park because it has structures and terrain we were looking for such as hills and big obstacles.

Attached here is a picture of TY park.

Pitching Some Ideas!

Pitch #1: “A film about two ordinary high school girls that live a secret double life as agent spies for the United States of America.”      We plan to show two girls first getting ready for high school. We would film these scenes in a group member’s house. We would also have to film scenes of the girls in their spy outfits and performing stunts. This would be hard to do as we would have to use actors who can do stunts. We would also need to use a green screen to show the actresses leaping from building to building.  This may be difficult to set up and require purchasing a green screen.  Pitch #2: “A man tries to provide for his family by stealing from a convenience store, but he ends up getting caught in the act by law enforcement.”      We plan to have one person walk into the store. This scene would be hard to recreate in an actual convenience store, so we would need to find a replacement location which would most likely be a group member's h...

Production: Fixing it up!

Image
    Today my partners and I wanted to make changes to the editing based off of our film review. So we joined a discord call right after school and started saying what each of the people we reviewed said.     Christians' parents said that the scenes could have looked more professional and less like we were messing around filming. Since we are only editing today I can't fix that so I left it till later. His parents also said that we should make the film brighter as details like the costume and landscape were hard to see. So I quickly fixed it by making it brighter so everything could be seen well.     Alexs' sister told him that the camera work could have looked smoother and that there was some shakiness seen when she watched it. We know that this would be a problem. So we want to re-film those few scenes as soon as possible.     I then told my groupmates what my sister and mom said about the film. My sister said that the effects looked weird and sh...

Editing Blog: Continuing the pro

     As I opened up Davinci Resolve, I felt a mixture of excitement and apprehension wash over me. I knew that we had a lot of work to do on our short film and that the editing process could be a challenging and time-consuming one. But as I located our project file and began sorting through the footage, I became increasingly immersed in the story we were trying to tell.      However, as I worked my way through the different shots and scenes, I quickly realized that some of them needed to be stronger. In particular, I noticed that some of the shots needed proper lighting, which made it challenging to capture the intended mood and atmosphere. This realization made me appreciate the importance of lighting in filmmaking, as it can truly make or break a scene.      Because of this, I had to spend a lot of extra time editing those particular shots to try and enhance the lighting and create a more compelling visual experience for the audience. I exp...
