Production Blog: Attempting the Third Day of Filming

It has been a bit rough for my group to find another day where we can film. Each person in my group has entirely different schedules from each other, so it's hard to find a free date for all of us. To be completely honest, it's been hectic. However, my group has strong people in it where we will all find a way out of this pit hole. Aleiah and I won't be able to film this Friday, but Lili and Hannah can. Therefore, since they are the most seen in the movie, it would be best if they filmed without us. They agreed and will be filming alone together just one scene to get this show on the road. The one thing that worries me is that since the filming was all shot on my phone, will it come out with a different quality of image? My phone is different from my other groupmates so it's risky, but I think it will work. We tried it out on two of our phones comparing it to mine and it seems similar with very small differences. To use a phone as similar to mine, Lili’s friend is going on Friday with them to help them film. Her name is Katlyn and she has an iPhone 12, whereas I have an iPhone 13. This is the only person we could fine that had the closest phone to mine. Next, my group and I had a conflict with the props, because we left them in my car when I won’t be going to this third day of filming. Therefore, after school ends, I will have to go to them and give them the props, including the bulletin board, red yarn, pictures of Lili, and the picture frame. The only part that they will be recording without me is the detective scene with only Hannah in it. It will be a  quick scene but one of the most interesting. I wish them the best and hope they communicate well with each other. They will be by themselves and since I was usually the driver, Katlyn will also have to drive for all of them. I will, of course, join them for the next time. Hopefully, this scene goes good for them!

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...
