Starting To Film

Today in class my partners and I began filming our project. We had to change a few things from our story board because as I suspected we could not film in the student parking lot therefore we filmed in the hallway. It was difficult to film in the hallway because we couldn't control who went in and out of the hallway and so we had to wait for moments when no one was in the hallway to have every shot look the same and so that every shot made sense and so that random people don't appear from one scene to another.


This is some of what we filmed:

In this shot I am pushing the button which will send the electrical signal into Caroline's head. When I press the button we will add Diegetic button sound in the background to let the audience know clearly that the button has been pressed

we had to re-film this part of our movie because of the way the camera is facing. In all the other shots the camera is turned and in this one it isn't. This is the shot when I send the signal that implants the code into Caroline's head.

In this shot the camera was facing the right way. The movement of the camera is going to be sort of the movement of the signal, and when the camera reaches Caroline and she jumps and pulls the headphones out of her ear we are gonna insert an electrical sound to indicate that something (the program I created)  has sort of shocked her and and was installed in her head.

we couldnt use this shot because the camera wasn't focused on both the button and Caroline so the audience cant clearly tell whats happening. Also my hair messed up the over the shoulder shot.

In this shot Caroline messed up the acting and so therefore we couldn't use it. It was really funny when one of us messed up but it was also very agitating. Acting was also very difficult throughout filming since none of us have any prior acting experience and we couldn't hire someone that did. I now understand how hard it is to actually make a full length movie and how hard it is to work with inexperienced or bad actors. 

We couldn't use this shot because we forgot to notify Caroline to move once the camera reached a certain position so the whole scene was ruined. It can be very hard to get everything just right.

Over all we did get all the shots we needed to get in school and now we will finish the filming over the weekend and start the editing on Monday.
