Filming Blog: Scheduling and Planning

   As the time draws nearer to the ending of the final AICE Media project, the blogs will become somewhat repetitive. Blogs will now focus solely on filming, editing, peer reviewing, or correcting clips for the movie opening. This blog is supposed to be about my experience when filming with my group. However, we didn’t plan a film day before this so this couldn’t take place. Our scheduled film date is set for this weekend on Saturday, February 22nd. We agreed to film earlier in the day around noon. This is so that out filming time doesn’t interfere with our schedule outside of schoolwork. For example, I am scheduled to work at 4:00 P.M. on the day we plan on filming so if we were to start too late it would cut into my work time which wouldn’t be smart. Starting early in the day will give us ample time to shoot our film in a normal manner and not one that has to be rushed. It will also allow us to reshoot any necessary scene that we might not have executed the best way. In addition to this, we plan on shooting the whole film in one day. This means that we have to have everything ahead of time such as props. As the director, the responsibility of ensuring this film’s success rests on me so I have to make sure everyone know there’s part so there are no mishaps. My group and I plan on setting up our different locations at Charli’s house and testing out different ways to set up the camera. This will help us get the right angles we need for the film and lightning so that the video is clear. Our goal is to shoot this movie the right way so that we have little things to correct. When it comes to the time to peer review, those who watch our film should be able to understand the message we want our opening to bring across from the angles, setting, and acting itself. This can’t be achieved if the filming isn’t done correctly.  This filming blog is great for showing that we take our project seriously and want to have an awesome outcome. It also helps remind us what we need and should what to accomplish in this film when we look back on the blog. Before this blog fully ends, this is a picture showing how it’s somewhat sad we didn’t film earlier.
