Starting from scratch

Image
   It is that time again. Time to scrape up an entirely new project out of pretty much nothing. So, the plan is to assemble everyone and pick a date that works for everyone involved in the making of this short film. The issue is people have lives. The result is that filming will have to be delayed for quite some time. It is unfortunate, as nearly everything as far as the props go have been put together. Extras for the film are willing to help too. Of course, as any level minded individual would want, they want a set date and location for the filming. We cannot provide such information at this time.

After this, they both go up to the ledge and watch for any movement. SCENE 2: Both soldiers are watching for any enemy movement. SH: "See anything yet?"

Title Design

Image
  Title Design   The opening credits of the film will appear placed throughout the clips at the start . That will be written in a camouflage green color. They will be placed all throughout the screens at different  moments in the beginning . And then at the end the end credits will roll.   - The titles will appear on screen in normal lettering and then fade into the video, in a sort of camouflage way .   - Each title will disappear after 2-3 seconds.   - All titles will be in capital letters.   Example : PRODUCED BY: SMITH   - All titles will be in green .   Example: PRODUCED BY: SMITH   - The last and most important name to appear on screen at the beginning of the film will be that of the director. This title will be centered on the screen and in font 2 sizes larger than the rest.

Schedule   2/1/2 5 - 2/3/2 5 : On th ese day s , we will be figuring out the placement and how we want to set up the film. Practice acting and figuring out if the script needs to be changed.   2/ 7 /2 5 - 2/1 2/ 2 5 : On these days this is where the actual outside will take place. Practice the rest of the script. Once the group gets there, we will have to wait for everyone to get ready in all the gear . The first day s are when hopefully all the filming will be done. We might be able to finish them, so  I gave us an extra day to do the rest.   2 /24/2 5 - 2 /2 6 /2 5 : On these days the plan is to edit the whole entire short film. It might take longer but the plan is to finish it in this time frame .   Location   We will be filming in one  main location .
