Production Blog: Scheduling

Production and filming of our short movie was just around the corner. But, not today. Today we needed to prepare even more for our short film. We needed to prepare by figuring out when we were going to start filming our short film. I already knew what day my group needed to film, we just needed to pick a time. At first, I thought it was going to be easy picking a time. But, I thought wrong. Picking times was a very complicated thing to do. Each group member had a different schedule and we had to work around each one. At first, I proposed the time 3 o'clock on the filming day. But, of course, one of my group members was busy at this time. So, I then proposed the time 5 o'clock. But, once again, someone was busy at this time. It seemed that every time I proposed someone was busy. If one group member wasn't busy, another was. It took us about an hour to figure out a time that worked for everyone and gave us enough time to film. Eventually, we got it all figured out and came up for a time to film. This was very exciting for all of us and gave us a sense of relief. We were scared we weren't going to get a chance to film. We started preparing right away for our filming by memorizing our lines.

Research: How to make a short film

  Research: How to make a short film        The words short film are a teaser. Although the name may sound like it's an easy quick process, short films take a lot of time, effort, and energy. I learned from this video that planning is one of, if not the, most crucial of all steps in the short film making process. One of the most key takeaways in planning I got from this video is that it is crucial to write for the kind of movie you are trying to make. Now this sounded obvious until I thought about it deeper. When writing our script and planning for the creation of our movie it is key that we do not bite off more than we can chew, meaning do not try to incorporate things into our film that we know will not be possible for us to create. For example, we must make sure we do not go over budget and include pieces that will cost more than we would be willing to spend, and not writing for a cast that would include more than the people we know will be accessible t...

Filming Day!!!!!!

 My name is Luke Hamill and today me and my group finished our first day of filming our commercial. We filmed our project at a group members house. The name of the group member whos house we used was Zane Knapp. When we first got to his house we left to go film the scenes that needed to be filmed outside due to the weather being good. We didnt want to wait incase it rained. Our first location we filmed at was the park because those scenes take place outside, while playing sports at the park. Our main actor was Zane Knapp as he played the old man. We used one of the group members little brothers to be our child actor in our music video. He played in the scenes where our main character was a child. While another group member played our characters father. After we got our scenes done outside we went back to Zane's house. There we filmed the scenes that took place indoors. These scenes took place in a hospital. We then filmed the first couple scenes where the actor is the old man in th...

"The Batman" is also a really good movie that came out recently that I enjoy. My favorite show is definitely "Breaking Bad" even though it took me over a year to get through the whole thing.       As I mentioned before, I really like music. My favorite band is probably Weezer and my favorit...
