Here' the Reel on our filming 🎥

On our schedule my partner and I planned to start filming our movie on the first weekend so we can have time to re-shoot any scenes. But this wasn't the case for us because in the first weekend we had plans with family that could not be rearranged to fit our filming schedule. My family and I had two birthday parties on Friday and Saturday and then on Sunday I had tons of homework and online class to catch up with through the day. My partner Jeannie could not make it to film this weekend was because she had work and family issues that was going on preventing her to be able to come to my house and film. On Monday we thought to film since it was no school due to President's day. However, I could not make it because my parents friends came to my house which is one of the main location for the movie. The noise and volume would be too loud and irritating since most of our scenes require no sound and dialogue. Yes we could have muted the sound when editing. I know for a fact that when there is a camera you can not stop little children from wanting to be on camera. My mind already had a mindset on the schedule I came up with in the previous blog in the presentation but because we did not film my mind is all over the place thinking about when and how we will get this movie done on time and not miss a single deadline, but I always reassure myself everything is gonna be perfect. We plan to film one of these weekends before the peer review our teacher assigned us for March 3rd because we wanna get all our scenes recorded and to start somewhat editing our scenes for the other group to review. My partner Jeannie and I discussed what we plan on doing after filming and before the date for the peer review. We agreed that once we finish filming the scenes I will dump all the footage onto my laptop at home to start editing and export onto a flash drive to have something for the other kids to watch. My partner Jeannie agreed that this is the best way to get a grade for the peer review. Honestly having control of that situation puts my mind at ease because I will have all the footage so if God forbids anything happens when on the school computer I will have everything on my personal computer. In my head I already have a vision of the entire layout of the movie as well as the storyboard. I already have ideas on how to edit our movie to evoke the Thriller and Action feel with the lighting and music. The best part about not filming is that I have all this time to search free music without copyright since some scenes need it. Now I can look and get a feel of the music and know how the actor and actress is supposed to feel in that scene. Hopefully this weekend we will be able to plan a day to film everything and start editing in our music and titles.
