Today is March 14th, and after school, my group and I filmed scenes 1-5. Today, my group and I spent about an hour at the park filming and producing good recordings. I was excited to begin recording the scenes after we were unable to do so the day before due to weather. Nick opening a door to a mystery was the first scene, which I recorded earlier today and only took about 15 seconds; it was primarily eye level and he made sure to appear confused about the mysterious things. Following this scene, I proceeded to the park with my friends to film the other scenes.Nick was headed towards the basketball court with the victim in this scene. This was a long-shot scene. Because people on the courts kept getting in the way, it took us approximately five minutes to get this scene properly. My group and I were also attempting to focus the camera. It was also quite windy, so my group and I had to retry a few times. The next scene took place at the basketball court, with Nick and the victim wonderi...

 So, I had planned to go film at a local park today, but it didn't work out. I got home, gathered my belongings, and was ready to go. I gathered all of our props, including costumes, a fake knife, and other items. But as soon as I stepped outside, it began to rain!! I waited about fifteen minutes for the rain to stop, but it didn't, so my group and I reached a deal. I made the decision to go to Nick's place, where we would be able to work inside. I began by putting the finishing touches on our script and outline. I also observed other films in our genre that have been similar to ours. We noticed a few key details, such as the usage of low perspectives throughout the film. Low angles are also employed to demonstrate the subject's might in these professional films, I noticed. I intended to use this in our film to demonstrate the kidnapper's power. After recording our opening sequence, I looked into some new editing tools. However, because the most of them required a s...

  Today is March 7th, and my group and I have been working on the music for our film. I've already begun the process of inserting music into the film that will work best for specific scenes. My group and I couldn't decide what music to put for the film at first. However, my group and I looked for different thrilling and defining music and picked the ones that we enjoyed the most. For the film, my group and I will use establishing music. And for the climax and significant events in my film, such as the kidnapper escaping and the vehicle driving away, I'll add thrilling music. The establishing music will play for 20-30 seconds in order to give the film a sense of purpose and to capture the audience's attention. For the scenes, my group and I will use a variety of exciting music. My group and I want to make sure the music is appropriate for the scenarios we're working on. I've already begun filming the scene that will fit the opening music. Because the park is our ...

  Here is our storyboard, and everything that will be included in our film!! Sheet 1: To start off our film, Nick opens the door to a question, this question will make the audience wonder what he exactly is looking for, in which he is looking for a mysterious item. Something that connects the characters involved in a mysterious way. To capture this we will use many angles, like eyeline shots, and even some wide angle shots. Next, nick, and the victim will walk towards the basketball hoop, thinking that the mysterious item they are looking for is near there. This scene will require a long shot. As that scene concludes, The next will also primarily take place at the basketball hoop, as nick and the victim begin to question themselves on where exactly the eerie item is. Long shots will continue to be used, but also an over the shoulder shot, and eye level shots. Nick, and the victim begin to become concerned, as they believe they are being scammed, so they call the once again "myster...

 

   Me and my group are starting to prepare for the film and what is involved in filming it. Over the last couple weeks, we have figured out the location, participants, health, schedule, and backup plan.  Location: The locations will be frost park and a car. At frost park there will be an actor on his daily walk and there will a different actor spying on him. So we will have two actors at the park and on person filming us. Frost is a great location because our genre is thriller, and many things that are thrilling can occur at the park so me and my group feel it is a great location. The second will be a car. In the film, one of the actors gets kidnapped, and the other actor puts him in the car. Then, they start driving with the other actor mobilized.  Participants: There will be three participants in the film. There will be two main actors, and we will have a group member to film. However, we might incorporate the group that films into the  Schedule: On February 2...
