Planning it out

Schedule  

2/1/25 - 2/3/25: On these days, 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.  

2/7/25 - 2/12/25: 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 days 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.  

2/24/25 - 2/26/25: 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. It will be at a particular park because the props, costume, and gear needs special treatment. Middle River Terrace Park.

Health and Safety

Especially the scenes that involve us outside at by streets, sidewalks and park. And props that we will use as weapons; it will be a safe one bought from the store.

Setting up the date for filming

Image
  Picking the date for the film may seem easy, but there are many factors that come into play when doing so. Depending on when we are the most available, we have two choices. Thursday the 21st of February is our primary option. This is the day where the actors are free the most. The alternative date we chose is Sunday the 24th. This will be our filming date in the case one of the actors is absent. Most of us have to balance school work an actual job work in our lives. The result being a limited time frame. Thursday is the best option for a few reasons. One being the fact that we can record at dusk and night time. This is perfect because we want to make our horror film during "scary hours". If it happens Sunday, this is not possible as I have work at day time and Mario (group member) has it at night. If it is filmed at day, it reduces the scary effect substantially. Another reason Thursday is best is because the team can meet up much easier. Transportation is still an issue, b...

Reviewing the footage

Image
  After recording the commercial, there’s still going to be plenty of work left to do. Even after filming, I’ll have to make several preparations for the final copy. There will be multiple clips needed to be combined to create the full-length video. Each of these must be reviewed to check for any errors. Discrepancies such as lack of audio occurs at some cases. I have frequent microphone issues so that is a big concern of mine. Human errors like tripping over words or sudden pauses are also common. These need to be corrected to prevent any awkwardness in the video. The whole point of a commercial is to sell something so there is not much room for error. Any shakiness or inconsistency with the camera need to be fixed. I do plan on using certain angles and there could potentially be circumstances where the camera isn’t stable enough. Focus is also a factor of recording on a mobile phone. Once all the clips are sorted in the order I want, it would be time to put them together. The fin...

We reunite once more

Image
   The four of us have returned for one final task. Me, Myles, Mario, and Daniel. These are the four people that sit around me and sometimes help me with my work. These are the gentlemen I want to do this project with. I choose to work with them for a variety of reasons. One being I have already worked with them on my music video. We already have communications established with ourselves. We also now know the different qualities each of us have when it comes to our work. I also learned a lot about myself during the past project. For instance, I have a good perception of knowing when a clip is should be used for the final product or not. I unfortunately often suffer with general interpretation as well, and I am often confused on some things within the project. Learning the different qualities about my fellow group members was also an interesting experience. Myles is a good communicator, and that is useful when it comes to interpreting instruction. It also helps when nobody know...
