Group meeting

 

In my group meeting I had Lucia, Sara, Addison, and Isa. My group was amazing and so helpful. To begin with, before I get started on what they helped me with and what we discussed. But I was so blessed to be able to work with people so much more talented than me and more experienced in the filming area, so yea thanks group. So we first started by going over what our film was about and my group had amazing ideas. But the one that stood out to me the most was Sara’s. She is film an autobiography of her life, and she is doing it all in Spanish. Which I thought was so unique and just an amazing idea and I can’t wait to see the result. Sara is also the only one that Is using a different editing software then the rest of the group, we are are all using adobe premiere while she is using daVinci resolve. Btw all my group member have amazing ideas just Sara was the most unique. During the meeting i had great feedback from all of my members. For example, Lucia really helped me get over a massive bump concerning my music situation and gave me the amazing idea of a harsh editing style, and honestly it fits my film opening the best. We also discussed a lot of the CCR and what our ideas are. As well the credits and little details like that. Overall amazing group and helped me so much with my film opening the motive. And wish the best of luck to them. :)

CCR QUESTION 1

 My film is about a smart-rich guys whos name is lukias johnson. And his mother is superintendente from severe brain cancer and is trying to steal the cure. And he can’t do it alone so he hires an unknown kid named Thomas who is surprisingly talented at driving. The genre is action and comedy, so to portray these genres we are using bright lighting, fast cuts, omunis music, also not spoiling the film to create further suspense and want to watch the movie.

Post production post #2

 after adding all the clips all we have left is to finish the editing and add credits and company logo and we are finally done. In my head it seems like a lot but after writing this I realized we are good on time and shouldn’t stress. Jano has the company logo done and it turned out pretty nice i don’t have it but im sure it is his blog. Also the credits good luck to Jano because im not that skilled to add letters so yea. Other than that we have to multi task with editing and CCR. But yea editing is going well and i hope that’s it stay that way.

This is a little editing that was when i first stared the editing for the movie opening. 

Post production post #1 editing

 well well well, its time to start the hardest, worst part of making a movie, the things that is in my nightmares, editing. I have been dreading this time for weeks. But it’s time to edit. Me and my partner have started editing, we started off by putting the all the videos in our editing sofware choice of premiere rush. 

Im in charge of editing and putting it together, while Jano is responsible for the credits and production company logo. Editing makes me go crazy like lit crazy but it fine we push the through and so far its been going okay but as the dead line inches closer and closer i become more worried and worried. But we have a plan and we are sticking to it. Although editing is a lot of blood, sweat and tears, it’s really rewarding to finally see our filming coming to life and looking like a real movie. After adding the music to the editing I’ve heard that song replay a million times and im sick of it. But it does really match the movie and im so glad that we filmed every scene at least twice some three times, because it make my life so much easier and gives us lead way when editing. Overall its going pretty smoothly and nothing bad has happened yet, and i hope it stays that way.

Production post #4

 for this post i will be running you through our filming process, and what we did and how we filmed it. First i recently tore my meniscus and had to unfortunately take off a little from soccer so that freed up some time to film which turned out to work well. So after school everyday this week me and my partner would go straight to filming and we got so much done. We went to out location and set dressed up and grabbed our props.

The first day of filming together went great besides the fact I couldn’t walk without crutches. But we worked it out. The first day we ended of filming most of the car scenes, like the drifting, and also any scenes inside the car. When we arrived at the filming area we got a good hour of perfect filming until, rain came and winds blew. Our filming equipment like the camera, props got completely wet and we had to wrap up for the day. And then the next day we went back to filming and ran into another problem, people we running so sketchy business deal at the our filming location. And i being so honest, idk if i can disclose what they offered us on this blog but it was something bad. So we skipped ahead of the ordered we wanted to film and started filming so of the scenes where the two characters actually meet. Then those people left and we got to continue filming. We potential might have to refilm some things and continue filming the final shots. But we have started editing and planning our CCR. 

Planning post of my choice

 some of the least things we decided to plan or think out and decide before we started out official filming on February 28, was where we are going to film and the final scene of our opening film. 

So we decided that we are going to film in 3 location my moms office, Janos home shortly, and a final scene is going to be filmed at a remote location here in Weston Florida, in a blocked off culdesac. And for the final scene of the 1-2 min opening film we decided that we are going to have the two character meet shortly in the secret area and have lukias(rich smart guy) the rich and smart guy offer Tommy a bunch of money and then right as the shake hands boom it ends. The reason we ended it so sudden is to make the viewers wanna see the rest wanna know what is gonna happen. Other than this we have finished the rest of the planning and have started filming and aim to be done soon and get to editing. 

Production post #3

 In this post i will be talking about how we set everything up. Meaning about the setting aswell as the camera. To being with the setting. This first scene of the movie opening was filmed in my mom’s office, a dark room with a big desk in it. It was perfect. During this process of setting everything up i was searching through things that i could use. I decide that mail would make the scene loom messy and realistic so i grabbed some of that. Also a bunch of papers, books, files, post-it-notes, pencils, Amazon box, checks, of course the keyboard and monitor, and a radio. All of these things came together perfectly i was very amazed on the final result. And although it look super messy, that just the way i wanted it to look considering the smart rich guy is a busy working and stressed workaholic. On the other hand, camera set up. I set up the camera 3 ways, either i had my cousin record, tripod, or i would record myself, but i found it best when I recorded my self because i had more control over the small little aspects of the filming. To film im using the Canon EOS Rebel T61i, this camera allows me to have better quality, efficiency, and angle compared to other filming tools like the iPhone or android. So yea overall the set up was very good and the filming went smooth.
