First Filming Day

-

    YES! We finally have started our filming and I am feeling pretty excited.

 Today my partner came over and was ready for our first film day. He brought his brother and I called over two friends to help film and act. I was hoping for a highly productive first day, where we were able to put a large dent into the first few scenes of the opening. However, this was simply just not the case. For the first hour and half or so we just hung around and talked while getting everything ready. We did somewhat attempt to fully film but that just wasn't what our focus was totally on. ITS HARD.. I mean im not sure how else to say it. To set up every scene and shot and make sure the lighting remains the same and our actors are in the same state of mine. I lost my patience a few times but then I remembered this is our real first test with the film opening. I mean this whole time we have put effort into planning and were finally brining physical work to the table. It's just not gonna go the right way every time. 

    I am hoping that with our efforts we will be able to film more successfully next weekend and bring a lot more to the table, maybe even get around half way with the shooting. Understanding and managing our time will be the most important factor going into the second attempt and set of filming.

ITS DONE!! Film Opening

-
 Here it is. My blogging has been terrible. I haven't done great at expressing what has truly been going on and my planning behind my work. I lacked consistency and didnt bring much of what was being looked for. I feel that I learned much more than imagined but just simply couldn't put it into the blogs. Id even go far enough to say I retained more than some people who could write and write without stopping. Unfortunately I couldn't.  Putting my words out and saying what ive done was one thing I definitely struggled with. I mean I can express myself but as far as this project went, I was more focused on the product than telling what went behind it. I looked into editing technique, good shot angles for my CCR, and much more. At the end of the day I didnt bring my effort to the blogs and thats something that needed to be different. I really do like the result of the film opening project. I think it's what is being looked for and it represents the social group of my horror...

Critical Reflection

 Here is my Critical reflection #1. I put a lot of love, sweat, and tears into this and I really do hope it is successful. I used many camera angles and long hours of editing on a production app called Cap Cut. I purchased the Pro version for better quality and easier transition but it really didnt help that much. HUH..? maybe some apps just aren't worth the money for a premium version. Anyways enjoy this podcast discussion on the production and social group for the film opening "Black Out"!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5qWDCQY6ZA&t=4s

  After a lot of effort, Im finally wrapping up this project. I haven't done these blogs well at all . This project has been both fun aswell as stressful. One key takeaway I have from this whole profolio project is being able to always make changes and I guess be adaptable when you face struggles or hard problems. Unfortunately alot happened and I wasn't able to commit to my blogs at certain points in time. Others I just didnt give great effort and when I did they turned out really good. It's like anything in life, you will see your results based off the effort you put in.  On one of our really important filming days an actor(my close friend tho) Rui, couldn't come what so ever. In response, my partner and I quickly somewhat changed the storyline. I didnt like this much but you gotta do what you gotta do. We decided that Dan, the character im playing and a supporting character mike would wake up and see rui's character missing. This actually set everything pret...
