  In these two photos we see me finishing up the editing process and adding all the last minute edits. In this photo we see me cutting out any extra parts of the clip that we didn’t need or that added to much time.

In these two photos we see as I struggle to put the clips together in order to make the time requirements. Some other problems we encountered was the music we would be using. In this picture I am cleaning up the clips and cutting out the parts where we were planning on starting to film.

Filming 2

BLOG POST 2 FILMING 2 Our second day of filming is when we got a bunch of the shots that we wanted. In the film I play the role of the loner kid that is also shy. In the film opening I am walking to detention, the lighting of the scene was good because we just needed the lightning from the hallway of the school. The scenes that we filmed will allow us to show the viewers the main character and what the movie is about but it doesn't give away any explicit details.  

Beginning to film

BLOG POST 1 BEGINNING TO FILM When my group began filming we wanted to make sure that we would be able to get the whole hallway in the shot so we had to set up at the corner and get ready to film. This is our group member, Diego, he was holding the camera so that we were able to see if this location would work as the filming shot.  We didn't really look at any shooting locations since this one was closest to the classroom we were using as one of our filming locations.  This corner was used as our shooting location because it was able to show all sides of the hallway so that we could show the two main characters as they are both walking.

Preparing to Film

 For the actors we will be using Jovani as the popular kid who everyone likes, Luca as the loner who doesn't have any friends, and Mr. Chambers as the teacher who picks on the loner and eventually the cool kid. For costumes Jovani will come in wearing clean fitted clothes, and Luca will wear a black hoodie with the hood over his head and some other beat up clothes. For now we will most likely not have props. This will take place in school in Mr. Chambers room, the hallways, and maybe in another classroom we are still discussing it. The dates and times will most likely be throughout the school year. We were planning on writing a vague script and also winging it so that it seems more natural. The film equipment will be a phone.

"Initial Storyboard".

  For the storyboard our first idea was to do it in the horror genre. We changed this out for a coming of age comedy because it seemed easier to do and make flow. Jovani and I originally came up with the idea of a coming of age film in which the shy loner (Luca) and the popular kid (Jovani) get in detention and become friends. The idea of Mr. Chambers being our antagonist was Diego's idea. The making of the storyboard was left to Diego, however, Jovani and I gave Diego the backbone of it.
