update to our film

Image
 We were back at pedro's another day. We had a lot to do today and we were getting prepared. Today was a hot day so we needed to make sure that we drink a lot of water and stayed hydrated. So before we started to set stuff up we made sure to go and get water. We also grab some snacks because I was hungry when I got there. After we got our food and water we started setting up. There's not too much to set up because we're only using a phone but there were some things we need to rearrange. There were some plants in the way and we had to dry up a spot because it was wet. We were also walking around the house making sure that all the spots we were going in where not slippery. We also had to make sure that they were safe for us to run on. After that Jacob got ready to film and he went on his phone to film. He noticed that he was out of storage so he had to delete some things off his phone. After that we got into our outfits and started to get into our position. It was a lot of fu...

 Throughout the end of the week we began shooting our subsequent scenes. We as a whole gotten together at Pedros house which was the place where we needed to shoot the film. We put several hours dealing with it and ensured we did all that could be expected. We failed a ton of times attempting to film this scene since it was difficult to get the points yet we figured out how to sort it out. We couldn't complete the scenes since one of my gathering mates failed to remember a portion of the props at his home. During this film we additionally had our companion help us with a piece of the film.  He functioned admirably with us on this and he likewise helped make things somewhat faster.

 We now know what we need to have done . We need to meet up and start the filming prosses. As I mentioned in the last blog there are so many things we practiced. And it is important that we did those things. But there were some things that I did not mention about the preparation. Jacob has a lot of work and filming to do. So he was practicing filming and getting all the camera angles to look right. There is a lot of opportunities for us to film and take some good shots so Jacob worked that all out. We got ready and eventually we were ready. We started filming the first scene and it was going well. There were some mistakes and it took us a few try's on some of them but it worked out. There were a lot of good parts to it and I think it went really well considering we didn't have to take too many try's. After that we called it a day.

 This is a very important part. When producing a film there are many things that come with it. But some of them may be more important than others. This is one of the most important stages in the production of movies. And this is the choosing location part. While we are not doing as much as a normal movie and also have no budget. So this meant that we don't have to think too much we do have to find exact spots. This means a good spot to stand regarding lighting and scenery. This is so important because scenery is one of the most important quality's of movies and films. So we concentrated and had some debates. But it all cam out alright and we think we have some good spots to film. So now we move onto practice. There are some athletic scenes that do need practice to perform. We went inside first to get a snack and some water because it was hot out. We went back out and we talked about who needed to do what. After that I needed to learn how to jump a fence fast so I had to practic...

 Today was the day that we decided about everything. We had plans to meet up. So we all knew that we were gonna meet up today. We all had rides and knew where we needed to be. So when it was time to leave my house I asked my mom if she could give me a ride. And she took me to meet up with Jacob and Max. I got there first and went into Pedro's. Then they arrived to his house to get let in. They came inside and we had some stuff to eat and talked about our day. After that we went up to Pedro's room and talked about the prosses in full detail. We started off with making sure we knew what days to film. We checked how the weather was gonna be so we didn't have a bad day to film. We also wanted to see the exact location where we were gonna film so we knew what we were doing. We also had to decide whos phone to use. We chose to use Jacobs since he has a good camera and he is the camera man. We also wanted to see if we were gonna film inside and we still weren't sure. But there...

 I used Paint 3D to draw out the scenes. I tried to best explain the scenes that were written. My goal was to add images that you can picture while you read the script. it was a very straightforward process. Being super easy reading the drawing how it would play out.

 We knew all the stuff we need to get done for the final project. So we had to figure out how to arrange it and get it done. This was the stage of figuring out the right dates and times to film. We didn't know how we were all going to coordinate this. We had a group chat but those are always spotty. So we used a group face time. This was a great idea we thought. It was but there will always be roadblocks. The first time we tried to face time I was at practice. The second time we tried it Jacob was at a dinner with his family. And the third time we tried max was in the shower. But the fourth time worked. We got on the face time and we talked about when we could do it. Some people weren't available on certain days and times. This was a problem we needed to work out. But that's why we were on the face time. We were talking for a while on how we thought this video was gonna turn out so we made sure we made it good. So we all talked and agreed on a date. Some days we didn't ...
