Production Blog: Filming Day 1



So on the first filming day we were able to get most of our takes done. Everything eventually came to and end and we all needed to come back the next day and regenerate ourselves. Seeing as we were all tired and hungry from being in the hot sun. Thinking is what happened most of the time. We were focused on how to do certain things since we had to use Idline’s camera.

It was a struggle to figure out how to use the cameras video feature. It wasn’t something we were used to. I was acting that day so basically we assessed everything at the park at scoped the area to see how and where we would film each part. The park was under a highway so it was really noisy. Meaning our best option would have been to do voiceovers but that is what we will leave forthe editing. 

Things went smoothly but the park seemed to be gradually increasing its number of visitors as we continued on. It was very funny to have to act as a character in the film. Trying to maintain charater is hard. Especially when I know I am perfecty fine in the moment.  I have to pretend to be sad or upset and dramatic with overwhelming emotions that i wasn't actually feeling in tht moment. 

The process wasnt very hard is was just really long and took many tries with having to time perfectly so we don’t catch any extra people in the background while filming.

Genre Research: Romance & Drama

Romance is defined by intimate relationships. In some cases, there may be a twist but at the end the main point in films is about the pursuit of love.

Production Blog: Spring Break is Over

      So we are back from spring break today and everything is in order. Although, we did not film and we did not communicate over the break. I could have predicted that but in that time I did text one group member Nishayla and she was talking to me about an idea she had about changing a scene by the pond I'm not to sure what is was about I don't really remember. However, if any changes are to be made then everything will be adjusted so everything aligns properly. That is if she decides to bring it up to the group.       We decided to do icebreakers have discussed our grades and how our break was before getting to the hard work.  In doing so, we came to agreement that things over the break cleared up and the break gave us time to organize our lives to get everything in order. Fortunately we now have clear schedules allowing us time to film. Unfortunately though in the last minute I did happen to misplace my camera and I eventually will find i...
