the starting of filimg

 hello everyone!! this is the official start of getting the final project done. Before this, we went through the steps of finding film topics, planning, storyboarding, and finalizing the script. This blog will be all about getting ready to finally start shooting. Right now we are in the process of collecting props and getting backgrounds for our movies. By backgrounds, I mean places in our homes that would be a good place to film based on location and lighting. Lighting is gonna be super important for when we film because we have a whole bunch of parts that are supposed to be filmed at night. The biggest problem with this is that I and aniyah most likely won't be able to come together at night time to film. Both of our parents are super strict and don't allow sleepovers all the time. So we are finding places that look like its night time even when it's the day so it comes out good for the shots. For example, we have the first scene of the movie is in the late afternoon when it's dark outside. So we put our heads together to work out the angles that will help and what we can do for the windows. We are planning on covering the windows with blankets and using inside lighting to make it look like night. This will make it appear like nighttime and we will continue that for the rest of the scenes in the dark. But the only problem is when we have to film the night sky at the beginning. So we decided that it would be best if I would pre-film the morning and night outside scenes before we actually film. Corona has made it super hard for aniyah and me to meet so we have been really relying on facetime and texting to get our ideas across. This has made communication a little easier. Hopefully, this ends in time for our final filming session so everything is perfect. A rushed movie is what we are trying to avoid. That's all for now Ill see you guys tomorrow.
