Production Blog: Getting Closer!

My group has really impressed me by how much we've grown. They have all understood each other when problems pop up out of nowhere. We all understand that we can't all film on the same days and we must find arrangements to fit all the needs of this film. I'm glad that I have this group because we are all very responsible and know when it is time to get our stuff together. We keep up with our film and know what each of our roles are. Although we were falling behind in the beginning, we are picking up the pace with the support of each other. I would guess that we have to meet up two more short times or one long day of filming to complete the recording part. One thing that has happened for the past two filming days is that my group and I keep forgetting to take out the props that we had bought from my car. I will have to remember to bring it again next time we meet for that scene where we will need those props. I think we will need to meet up soon but many of us, including myself, are busy over the weekend. Furthermore, I know we need to start editing soon in order to be on time with our deadline. This is worrying me, because I'm not even sure if we will have enough time to fit the five minutes. I really worry about this, because our scenes so far have been relatively short. Therefore, I'm hoping the upcoming scenes we will produce on another day will be longer to balance out the time. We are slowly progressing, but I really feel that we all underestimated and left the recording for the last second. I know we will figure out something in the end, but I really hope everything goes by smoothly. So far, the road has been bumpy trying to figure out the little details that are included in the production of a short film. From the second day of filming, it was a bit hectic since we couldn't get much done. I am not doubting if we'll be able to complete the project, because I know my group will persevere these obstacles. We are all very smart and we will get it done one way or another.

Production Blog: Props

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...
