Production Blog: Change of Plans

My group and I have been stressing on when to film. All of us could not agree or come to a set date, therefore I decided that we must discuss on March 14 when we all had class together. I was supposed to film a while ago, however plans changed when we all suddenly became busy. I am available all of the upcoming dates except for Friday. Lili also can't do Friday. Brianna is only available on Monday. And Aleiah has a dance competition on Monday, which is the only day that Brianna is available. Therefore, I asked Aleiah if her event would take up the entire day and she said she could get to Lili's house around three in the afternoon. From this, my entire group will be able to shoot our movie on Monday in the evening where we will still have some daylight and will continue to film during the nighttime. This will be enough time to shoot everything we need for our film. Furthermore, while having this time in class where we can all converse, I began to set up schedules where we can all work from. I put in the times where Brianna and I will be getting to Lili’s house. During the time we are waiting for Aleiah to be dropped off, I will be recording the scene where Lili is waking up from her dream. The other scene from the daytime that we will need includes Aleiah. Consequently, Lili, Brianna, and I will probably go eat somewhere and come back to find Aleiah at the house ready to shoot the scenes we need with her. First we will begin by filming the part where Lili greets us into her house. Then, my group and I will wait for it to get dark outside to film the establishing shot, which will be a frame of the house. Next, I will shoot the rest of the scenes that include inside and outside of the house. Lastly, Lili will most likely give us a cup of tea and then get to editing while our parents pick us up. Overall, I am glad that we were able to choose a date that will work for all of us.

Production Blog: Props

Image
Before my group and I start filming, I want to give a brief overview of the props that I will be using throughout my film. First, I will need to buy a bulletin board for the scene where the stalker's room is shown. Here, there will be pictures of Chloe and her information including birth certificates, grade reports, and other legal documents. There will be manila folders that one of my groupmates bought and red yard with push pins to make the scene look even more realistic and set the creepy aesthetic. The picture of "Chloe" is really an image of Lili, one of my groupmates. She is still having difficulty choosing a picture but the film will be better-suited if it was a close-up portrait with just her in it. This will allow the viewer to see that Rachel, the stalker, is strictly keen on Chloe. There will be pictures in the folder and an additional portrait in a frame that we must buy as well. Furthermore, I will need glasses for the stalker, Rachel, so she could be "h...

My group and I did our first day of filming on September 29. We needed other props to record some of the scenes, therefore we did what we could with what we had at the moment. Our roles this day varied from person to person. Lili changed her outfit to look more vintage which will be the theme for our commercial. In addition, Lili who is playing "Leila" was acting as if she had forgotten her backpack in the first scene that we were able to take. Aleiah who is sitting next to her does a little shuffle and looks to both sides as if she were confused and then ran out of the camera. This was our first scene that we took, because we all decided that it would be a good idea to have our base done before we continue shooting the rest of the commercial. The middle part of our commercial could not be completed yet, because as I had said earlier, we were missing some props. With the time remaining, we then shot the last scene where "Leila" is walking up the stairs. Therefore, o...
