The new plan for filming.

 

Hello my fellow readers. Today we will be talking about the new filming plan. We did not know if we were filming separately or not. But today we will be talking about the plan for if we are able to get together. First, we will be taking the safety precaution. Everyone will be required to wear masks as we film. The only exception will be for those who are on camera. Secondly we are planning on filming either Sunday January 3 or Sunday January 10^th. This is all depending on when everyone will be available. We will be filming from the morning all the way into the night. So this will probably be 9 in the morning to 6 at night. We wont be filming in order of the shots. We will be filming in order of the time of day. So the first shot we will film will be the onethat is the girl coming down the stairs first thing in the morning as they are going to work. Then we will film the scene getting into the car. We will change locations to outside and film the part where the girl collapse and goes to the hospital. Then we will film all the rest of the scenes as the light goes by in the day. Finally when its dark outside we will film the first. This one takes place in the middle of the night at the dining room table and needs to be shot when its dark outside.

Plan B

 

Hello my fellow readers. last time we spoke I told you about how me and my partner had some troubles with filming for our first time. we had trouble filming for the first time, because we were both exposed to somebody with covid-19 . We were super worried about the health and safety of everybody that was going to be in the movie so we stayed isolated for the required 2 weeks. We have also been tested twice. we are both clear to see each other and others. Because we could not film for the first time we had to create a Plan B. We spoke on the phone I put lots of ideas out and thought into it. Having a backup plan it's super important especially when things are this serious. We spent time learning more editing techniques incase any other issues occur. We did this because With good enough editing skills we could film apart an edit together the parts to make it seem like we were actually filming in the same place. Currently we are very familiar and know how to use I movie and other editing techniques such as pinnacle. If possible and if it is a must we will plan to film a part. This prevents as much contact as possible so nobody can get sick. Certain scenes that only require shots of the background are going to be done by ourselves and have previously been shot. Sheet scenes that require one person will be shot individually as well. Once it is safe to go outside and safe in our own homes we can film together. But the whole time we will be wearing masks when possible. And social distance as much as we can. Both me and my partner are persistent and dedicated to completing this film in our best efforts with the best safety in mine thanks for reading .

props and items

 

Hello my fellow’s readers!! Today we will be going in depth to the props that we will be using. We have added more props since being quarantine. So, in the end even though we couldn’t film on the day we wanted. We were able to find out ways to make our production better. I will be telling you all the props and all the items that will be in the camera for the movie. For the first scene we will be in the dining room. There will be one table and eight chairs. We will be sitting in two of the chairs across from each other. Both of us will have a laptop and notebooks and pencils. The second scene wont really have any different props you will just see them carry those props upstairs. The next scene will be the next morning right when they are getting ready for work. They will come down the stairs at different times. But they will both have bags and shoes in their hands. Then they will walk out the door and the props will add one. So, the add ones will be the car and the car keys. Then when they get to the lab and sneak the girl in. the props will be cups, lab coats, lab googles and notebooks and computers. Then they will get the hospital. The props there will the hospital bed and a heart monitor. Then when they leave, they will have a bags and be carried out by the fbi agent. Finally they will end the scene with suit cases and bags leaving their families.

Film Day one fail

Hello my fellow readers!! Today was a complete FAIL!! Today has been one of the ost stressful days ever. Sadly today was supposed ti be our first day of filming all together will all the cast here and it aslll went down hill from this moring. At 10 o'clock this morning we were supposed to all meet at my house for the first day of filming and probably the last if all went well. We planned thiws for about two weeks in advanced and corona once again ruined things. Not one but both me and my partner came in contact with people who had been diagnosed with covid. We have both been in isolation for about a week and a half and both have gotten tested once. For about the the last week and a half we have been correcting and perfecting our coustumes and our acting. We have about three dayas more in quarntine. After this three day period we will be getting tested once again and then replanning a date to film and have the final product done. Crossing our fingers that neither of us have covid because that could be really bad and leave us falling behind on our schedule for filming and editing. Hopefully with this extra time we have got from winter break we will not have to re shoot. BUt it still might happen because not everything is perfect the first time. But anyways we have gone through and properly given our characters some defined details. Like fro example we planned out what our charcaters would wear and kinda got outfits ready for them. Also we practiced how they would sound and how they will react facially and how we will put emtion into it. So far we arent to far behind our schedule adn we should catch up oretty fast. It was really sad that we couldnt film and we couldnt edit out final or final product. But we will soon and when we do it will be amazing and go super smooth.

Settings

 

Good morning my fellow readers I’m back at it again. Today discussion will be the CLAMPS. Though we will be focusing on the S= setting. I will be going through the scenes and telling you where it will be filmed. First things first everything will be filmed at one house which will be easier but still bring a little bit of complications. The reason I say it's easy is because we won't have to bring the whole cast to different locations and take up more time in the day that we don't really have. The complications that I say will be trying to make it look like a different place when really it's the same place. But with all the scenes it will all be filmed in a different room. None of the scenes will ever cross paths or be filmed in the same area. For the first scene it will be filmed in the dining room and it will be the two characters facing each other parallel to the camera. The next scene will be the girls walking up the stairs also parallel to the camera Fading into a black screen. The next scene will be filmed perpendicular to the right of the staircase and the camera will be parallel to the door. The girls will come down the stairs and the camera will back up as the girls walk forward. For the next scene it will be shot upstairs in an all white room with one desk in the center over wall an one chair on one side and another chair on the other side for the two girls just. In that same room there will be two coatracks with 2 lab coats and two pairs of goggles. In the next scene we will be in the garage with one pull outbed acting as a Gurney in a hospital. There will be a white sheet up to make it look like a completely white room. The next scene will be filmed outside of the garage with the camera pulling back as FBI agent rushes the girls into a car. The camera will be on the dashboard of the car then and the FBI agent will be talking to the girls and the girls will be talking to the FBI agent about what's going on. Finally the girls will be outside of the house saying goodbye to their family and that will fade into a black screen at the end. this is all the scenes and props with the setting .

costumes

Good morning my fellow readers I’m back at it again. Today discussion will be the CLAMPS. Though we will be focusing on the C=costumes. Always fun to talk about costumes, because you get to be anyone you want to be when you get all dressed up. In our case we are trying to be just like our characters. We want to try and express their personality through their clothing. Both of our characters are particularly more on the fancy/ professional style just because on is a scientist and one is a journalist. So, they work in places where they are supposed to be dressed a little nicer than usual. Even though the journalist is a little bit more casual she is still professional. Like she would not be in ripped jeans and a tank top. She would wear something like black pants and a nice white or black shirt. The scientist would wear a nice shirt with work pants and maybe a pair of boots just so she does not slip in the lab. I think trying to express what the characters would wear is super important to character development. You really get into the character and look and speak like them like this. Now for our first scene we will be wearing more casual clothes because we will be in our home doing work at our table. So, it will be like pjs and kind of messy hair, yet still looking put together enough where it doesn’t look to bad for camera. Then the next scene when we wake up to go to the we will be dressed in nice clothing with our hair done and very professional looking to go into work with. Then when they get to the lab they will add on lab coats and goggles to complete the scientist look. Finally For the rest of the show they will look a little beat up and messy from being pushed around by the fbi agent but they will still be in their work clothing.

websites

good afternoon my fellow readers. We started our website page for our movie! One of the best experiences I had for a while. It was super exciting to start up our website it was almost like we were a part of a real cast making it. It was really hard for us to start it up but we once we got started it got to be easier. There were so many designs to choose from and so many ideas to work with that it took us a little while to pick which one would work for us the best. Now it might sound simple to just create a website for movie but trust me it is not. We struggled a lot with getting the perfect backgrounds and inserting our links for our social medias. For some reason when we would try to put in our links it wouldn't allow us to click them. But if it did allow us to click them it would take us to a different page that wasn't our page. We were trying to insert the link into a little icon so it would be clean on our website. But sadly, that was not working so we just had to paste our link with the title of either YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and our email. It upset us for a while because it wasn't as clean as we wanted it to be. To us it looked a little bit messy and we really really tried to get the icon link to work but it just wouldn't. So, as they say in showbiz the show must go on, we worked with what we had, and we made a beautiful website that all of our readers could go and see. This was quite the learning experience as you may see, and it was definitely not an easy task to do. But it was an extremely important lesson to learn and now both I and my partner have the skill to make a website. I feel like not only was this a good lesson for this class, but it was a good lesson in general, because now we know how to be more professional and create eyecatching websites that could benefit us in the future. It’s kind of shows how this class isn't just about media but it's about so much more and all of this goes could help us in the future no matter what career path we take. But the funnest part of all of this was going through everybody elses websites and seeing how cool and different everybody was, see you in the next blog.

 

Social media

 Good afternoon my readers!! We started up our social media accounts. But even before our social medias we needed to find our cover photo. Instead of finding a cover photo in fact we got together and made a cover photo over FaceTime. We decided that it would be best for us to make a cover photo instead of getting one because we wanted to be as original as possible. Once we got our cover photo done, we made sure to send it to our teachers to make sure that it was as good as it could be, and they loved it. So, we got the cover photo done and put our title on it next it was time to make our social media pages. First up was Instagram which was the easiest because we knew how to use it and we knew how to create a new page for it. Then Twitter was next which was a little harder because neither of us had ever really used Twitter before, but we still figured it out. Then was YouTube which was harder than Twitter but not as hard as Facebook. Neither of us have ever used Facebook before and we started troubleshooting right as we got into it. When we went to go make our page, we thought it would be easy to just put our movie title as the name for the page, but with Facebook it was not that easy because you needed a real name for the page it needed to be a first name and a last name. What we did was put my first name and my partner's first name for The Facebook page. Then we had to create a new page in the movie section On Facebook for our movie and this is when everything started to go smooth again. Once we created all of our social media pages it was time to upload our cover photo. we believe that our cover photo matched our movie perfectly. Once we uploaded our cover photo it was time to start following all the other pages. We loved to be able to support all of our peers. It might have taken a while to follow everyone but it was well worth it. Especially because we got them to follow back.Now next time its the website see you next blog
