 Today's blog wraps up our filming journey, and I'm stoked to share our adventures outside the house and off the streets – yep, you guessed it, the car scenes! So, first order of business: choosing the wheels for our cinematic ride. Luckily, we had a few options, but we settled on my mom's van. Why? Because it's spacious enough to fit all our gear and us, of course! It's like a mini studio on wheels. Picture this: four of us piled into the van, gear in tow, ready to hit the road and capture some movie magic. And let me tell you, it was a blast! Who knew filming from a moving vehicle could be so exhilarating? We took a break for lunch around 2 PM, refueling for the rest of our adventure. Back to filming, we nailed every shot in record time – about an hour tops! With our mission accomplished, we decided to enjoy the great outdoors. Fishing seemed like the perfect way to unwind, especially with the chilly weather keeping things interesting. And hey, why not film a bit ...

Hey everyone, its me Blake again, today's blog post focuses on our recent filming experience, particularly the night scenes we worked on. We decided that the optimal time for filming these scenes was around 7 PM, aiming to capture the darkness and ambiance of the night. One of the main challenges we encountered was locating the perfect filming location. It was crucial for the street to be deserted to avoid any disturbances from passing traffic, which could have compromised the quality of our footage and audio. To scout for the ideal spot, we embarked on a drive around the area, spending nearly 45 minutes in search of the right place. Eventually, our perseverance paid off, and we stumbled upon a street that met all our criteria. It was dimly lit, with minimal traffic passing through.After securing the location, we wasted no time in setting up our equipment and rehearsing our scenes. Our group meticulously went over the script once more, fine-tuning the angles and movements required ...

Hey everyone, welcome back to another one of my blogs! In this one, me and my group members met back up and continued filming. Firstly, I got picked up by Ben, a group member with a license. After he picked me up, he went to get the rest of our group members. We all had decided prior for the location of our filming, so we drove there. It took about 25 minutes to make it to our location. I had brought inside the bag of props and materials we needed for preparing the set, while Ben and Nicolas were in charge of getting the filming and accessories ready. This strategy of me and Tom being the ones to set up the area and Ben and Nicolas setting up the camera work sped up our process. I'm glad my group got this done easily and fast, we managed to be prepared in under an hour of being there. We then finished filming in our location after a hour of us filming. It took a while for us to get the right shots however. After a couple attempts we got it right though. For me the script was the ha...

Hey everyone, I'm back with another blog! This one is about how we planned out our filming and editing schedule. We decided it would be a good idea to film early. So, me and my group members decided that the first step was that we all understood our parts of the script. We all had joined a call one night, and spent about 2 hours reviewing and understanding our scripts fully. We discussed our lines, actions, and camera shots. Eventually, we all came to an agreement on everything. The next thing we needed to plan was our time and dates for shooting and filming. Ben and Nicolas were available the first weekend of February, but me and Tom weren't able to make it those times. We rescheduled however, to a later date that the all of us could make it to. The third weekend of February being the date we all agreed upon, and filmed throughout then and the following Monday since there was no school. Luckily, one of my group members Ben had gained his license this week as well, making it ea...
