Yet again plans fall through

 The four of us believed that everything would go well this time after the failure happened the first time. We once again tried to make  plans. The next weekend was chosen to shoot. In case we required another day of filming, this would be the weekend of the 25th and maybe the 26th. But then it came up that Dara and Mila had to go to a beach clean-up for their club that weekend. I am usually free to film, so it depended on everyone else in the group. Since both Violet and I act in the film, we wouldn't be able to shoot the sequences individually. It was thus determined that my group and I would get together and determine a specific day for shooting when everyone would be available. My partners and I opted to shoot on the sixth. After school, Violet would drive everyone to my house after picking them up in her car. But I didn't want to wait around till we could all get together and shoot the film. Instead, I made the decision to work effectively on the project's editing component. I went online and started checking out potential songs for the movie. In my earlier searches, I had come across several songs that were copyrighted, but I didn't particularly notice them. I thought there must be better music out there, so I wanted to keep looking. I also spent time determining the props that my group and I would require on the day of filming. I chose a cake and a string rope, but I wasn't sure what else we required. I assumed I could just ask my group afterwards. Since it wasn't really urgent, I figured I would eventually realize it. After that, I continued looking for appropriate music for the movie.

Choosing our Pitch

Image
Pitch 1: A little girl's imagination gets out of hand one afternoon. Pitch 2: A girl is doing homework when suddenly she finds a mysterious note left in her book for her. Pitch 3: A young mom is driving to pick up her son from school, when out of the blue and friend from her past comes her way. Pitch one is an ideal one for our group, as it can involve girl characters, and our group has four girls. This leaves us options for us to have someone to film, which is good so we don't have to go out of our way to find another cameraman. This, along with the fact that the wording allows for wiggle room, is a pro to pitch 1. However, we would have to take extra steps to find a little girl to play one of the parts, which adds a bit of a challenge, but I think our group is up for that. Pitch 2 is also a reasonable pitch for our group, because we can have one of us acting and the rest of us tackling other responsibilities. However, we are not sure how much we can do with the concept, so...

Movie Conventions Research: Bird Box

Image
  Various camera angles, sounds, editing forms, and mis-en-scene were used in this film. For starters, numerous scenes were shot at a medium close-up viewpoint with dark lighting as the mis-en-scene. Dim lighting in the forest setting and  Ambient lighting are two examples of different types of illumination. To achieve a chilling effect, many props were added, including a blindfold and a rowboat down a strong river. The majority of the film was shot with diegetic sound, however there were several instances where there was no sound to create an eerie and mysterious atmosphere within the movie.  Different types of lighting, such as under lighting, were heavily used to generate an ominous impact on viewers. The actors in this film are dressed in costumes that are meant to look worn out and dirty to the audience. The majority of the aspects stated had a positive impact on the movie since they added tension and suspense, which is what this genre is all about. Low angle and eye...

More Filming!

Image
 When Connor arrived, we were ecstatic. This meant we could finish filming all of the scenes now. After me and Katie filmed the scenes in her house, we needed to film the rest of them. We began filming the next scene, which was me riding a bike through a neighborhood. I hopped on the bike and rode it, while Katie and Connor followed me filming as a tracking shot. Thankfully I knew how to ride a bike, so it was fairly easy to film. There was two other locations we needed to film at. One at a playground, and another in the forest at Hugh Taylor Birch State park. The three of us walked to a local playground and started filming the scene with Katie and I. We sat on the swings, rehearsing our lines quickly so we could film with ease. I took multiple shots, so we could pick the best one out of the couple. The props we used in that scene was our phones. Next, we had to film in the forest. Katie's neighbors gave us a key to enter the park. That was very convenient for us. We needed to film...
