Rain, Rain Go Away...Come Again on a Different Production Day!



    On the 26th, me and my group had planned to finish the second page of our storyboard in filming. This meant we had several components to complete. This included costume changes and a location change. Safe to say that we were booked and busy for the day! The scene that we were planning on spending the most time on was the beach scene. In this scene, the main character flees from her car and is transported to a beach filled with her friends. The main dilemma faced: how to get to the beach. Fortunately, we were filming at Macy's house. She lives very close to the beach and would've been able to get us there. If it weren't for the weather that day. The forecast was set to be cloudy and gloomy all day. This really affected our filming because not only was the lighting going to be poor, but the waves would be rough at the beach. Meaning that we probably could not go in the water, let alone be allowed to go to the beach at all. 

    So, this meant that we needed a backup plan. We decided to ditch the beach and just film the "beach" scene in Macy's backyard that also has a pool. We could still show the main character having fun with her friends like we would have if we went to the beach. Also, we could still play in the water and play activities like throwing around a beach ball. So, we changed our costumes into swimsuits and other beachy attire and began to film in the backyard. The weather was still slightly cloudy, but it was significantly livelier than it would've been at the beach. Also, we were able to film without having to worry about being caught in the storm.

Production is not for the Weak!

Hello, reader! As always, welcome back to my blog! I am glad you were able to stop by again. There are a few thing that have changed since you were last here. For example, my group and I were only able to film a small portion of our short film yesterday. Today, we were planning on finishing the production, but we are all very busy with a studying for a test in another class. So, none of us really prioritized the short film getting made. However, I do want to finish it soon because I love the editing process that comes after production finishing.  Also, speaking of the editing process, it is very tedious. Since I am usually in charge of the editing of a media project, I am worried for a few reasons. One thing that I am worried about is that I will run out of time and not finish editing the final short film. Since the short film has to not look choppy, I am worried if we do not finish production fast enough and I have to edit a rushed piece of media, it will end up looking messy. So,...
