Filming: Actors #1 & 2


 So during the whole filming process after we decided who would be doing what, it was decided that Nishayla  and I would be the main characters to deliver the effects of the message implied I filmed a part of the scenes which is when the other two group members Rohanna and Idline played the part of the bully for Nishayla Actor #1. During that scene I wasn’t in the film because I had to film that specific scene while we put to get her the set and scene. 

My job was to make sure that Nishayla was set in place while Idline and Rohanna waiting for my call to start the scene. I gave ideas on how to show that bullying was taking place and it ended with the idea that the bag was to be gone through as as an invasion of privacy and tossed everywhere were the contents in the bag while leaving actor #1 to pick up her belongings or what remains of them on her own while she sits there sad and lonely. This gives off her signs of having depression and suicidal thoughts.

The camera used was a Nikon D7000 we used two separate lenses to film I used my SD card to save the takes we all took on my camera and allowed Rohanna the designated editor to take it home to edit. Meanwhile they set the stage and added makeup to my arm for the other scene where I was the 'popular girl how appeared to be super happy on social media and at school but in actuality was abused at home and had bruises on her forearm to prove it. The shot was intended to be a close up while using makeup to represent the bruises. This was the part that Idline filmed as Rohanna  managed our timing behind the camera to make sure that the scenes coincided and flowed smoothly together. I began to walk toward the water where actor 1 was  where we would meet to close out the scene.

 My input for planning for the day of was where I suggested we relocate when our original park was said to be closed. We decided to relocate to a similar park that I had on stand by just incase this happened. We did our part there and had to modify some scenes. So I took a walk around the park with actor 1 Nishayla so we could have ideas of how to modify the scenes while we waiting for our other two group members to show up. Things went successfully and we were able to get everything we needed all in one day so there was no need for an extra day it was all accomplished before thanksgiving and completed with no need for reshoots at a later time in the week. This was a great and very fun experience.

Genres We Would Like to Research

       There are three genres we would like to do some research on before moving forward. Action, horror and drama. The reason for me choosing these is because we definitely have a feel of one of these types of genres being what category we set our short film to fall under. We know more about the other genres and saw these types as expanding my ind in the world of genres. We typically stick to romance and comedy kind of movies.        So, We made sure to do something out of our comfort zone and try to do something a little non traditional. We feel as though this is going to be worth it and that we may find something we truly like for the idea of my film this year. Hopefully these genres turn out to be the perfect kind for our film. We will use these to help me make a decision later on but this research will definitely be a good mind opener for future references. It should also make for good examples to go off of when its time to find inspiration t...
