Filming blog- Day one of filming



 Hey guys, during this time my group and I briefly discussed the new days of our planning due to a minor set back. Originally we were supposed to film during winter break but wasn’t able to do so due to one of us being out of town and one us being sick. We finally got to start filming on the 17th of january leaving us 13 days to spare for filming and editing. We knew this was going to be a little tough but we decided it was best. On this first day we filmed minutes two and three. We decided to do this because we felt that it would be best to get the scenes with extras in first. To film we used Daniella's camera and a tripod. If there was a issue with lighting we just used all our phone flashlights to get more lighting. In these scenes it was only two extras, the body guard and one gambler. Angel recorded/ directed these scenes. Daniella helped him giving him brief advice. To set up the scene we just moved a few things around to make it seem like a casino. We didn’t have much props so we just tried to make it seem as interesting as possible. We also wanted to make it appealing to the eye so we had the extras dress up to really fit into the theme we were going for. The filming process took about a hour it didn’t take very long because there wasn’t much dialogue or much moving around. Angel did really good at capturing the different angles. The whole process overall was very fun and went way better than expected. It was more than just a learning experience everything actually felt fun to be filming. The extras were pretty cool and nice. We didn’t run into any obstacles along the way. There was also no need for any emergency plans that we had in place. Day one was a success and we are exited to keep going !

 Hi, my names Anya Lucas. I am so excited to have made it to the next level in this class! Just in case you don't remember I'm here to tell you a little about me a lot has changed. For starters I am a Junior now and I'm very excited about that. Some of my hobbies are track and doing hair, I spent the whole summer perfecting my craft in both. I love movies! That's what makes this class so interesting. Learning about how films are made and the work that goes behind it is just so satisfying to me. The type of movies I tend to watch are action, romantic and comedy. Although I don't read very often my love for movies also ties to my love for books. I tend to read books that are most likely based on real life. I'm a very enthusiastic person and I feel as if this class helped me bring my enthusiasm out into my creativity. I also try my very best at EVERYTHING  that I do. Last year I learned a lot of new skills that I'm so excited to include in my project this year.

Editing Blog- The finale !!

Image
 Hey guys, today is the last day we have to complete any last minute changes. As you guys know we are basically done !! We only have one more day until our deadline. We decided to do one more overview of our film. Though it wasn’t much wrong we decided to adjust the ending. The ending was a bit shaky. It ended kind of rough because of the way the camera was shut off. We usually filmed more than one time of the same scene. We just happened to not have done that this time. To cut off some of the shakiness at the end we decided to add another clip of the same scene from a different angle. By doing this we hoped to not lengthen out the actual time of minute 5 but the actual duration of the scene. We used angels computer of course to edit. This kind of helped with the shaking at the end. It eliminated the very end of where you would of saw the camera being actually shut off. We know the film isn’t supposed to be a 5 star film but that was just bothersome. After doing that we watched the fil
