continuation of filming

          Hello guys today I’m going to be talking about the ending of our filming. We were so excited that it was the last day of the filming process because we were so excited to start and edit. So for the last day of filming we decided to film at my house. Before everyone came over there was some thing that we had to do before everyone came over. We had to get some props together and get the costumes all done and ready. The other group mates that were coming over also had to bring some props too for the film. Like one person had to bring fake blood just in case we needed it and some clothes. I had to do some thing to get ready too like I had to make some props and get the furniture all ready. I had to help make the cut out of the “I’m going to kill you” sign and that took a while. We had to paint it and that took a couple of hours to dry and after it was done drying we had to cut it out. Cutting it out was kind of difficult because it had to be perfect and I’m not the best at cutting. I was only in a couple of clips that we shot that day, but the shots I was in I enjoyed it a lot. The first scene we shot we were all on the couch and we were watching a scary movie and in that part I was acting. The second scene we did I wasn’t in it, so I helped with filming and lighting. Which was a lot of fun, because I love to film and get the lighting good. In the other scenes we did I was not in so I did the filming and got the movie we were watching and paused and played it so it would be at the right scene. After we were done filming I got everything cleaned up and set so my parents wouldn’t be mad. Overall the filming was so so so much fun and I love the filming process and just filming it’s so much fun.

Movie filming started

        Hello everyone today I’m going to be talking about our movie filming and what I did. On Friday after school my group and I went over to the first house we were going to film at. The house we were filming at was Jakes house. When we got there we got out our storyboard and started to look around the house and make sure everything was set up right. After we knew everything was good we walked over to a store to get some props we needed. Once we got back from getting our props we started getting everything ready and prepared. We got everyone’s makeup done that needed to get done, and we got all the costumes on. We made sure the costumes and makeup if needed were the same thing as in the storyboard. We also made sure the lighting was just right and made sure we know what angles we were going to use. The lighting thing was a little difficult but it was ok because we finally got it right. For the first scene we filmed that day was the scene of where I get killed. For that I was acting I had to say my lines and do some acting I was really excited to do this scene. The next scene we filmed was where Alex starts to look for me, in this scene I helped film because I was not in this part of the movie. The next scene we filmed was where Alex Morgan and Jake looked for me. In this scene I was filming and it was fun! The fourth scene we filmed was where they find me in the bathroom dead. In this scene I was playing dead so for the whole scene I was laying in the tub dead. The last scene we filmed was when the lights go out and for this scene I was still playing dead in the tub.

Filming day plan

Hello so my group and are are starting to plan out what our filming day is going to look like. We have been getting everything ready for our filming day, to make sure it comes out really good. My group and I are really excited to get this opportunity to make a movie and we want to make it really good. We spent a couple of days figuring out what we are going to film and making sure we can get everything we need for the filming process. We also decided on what props we are going to use and need for the filming, and we decided where we need to film. Some of the props that we are going to use are, fake blood, fake knives, and letters. So our plan for filming is that we are going to go over to one persons house one day and the others persons house the next day. For filming we are going to two peoples houses for our film. This week we had to collect all of our props that we are going to need for the filming process. At first we couldn’t find the fake blood so we had to go to multiple stores but after some stores we found it. We also needed a fake knife and that was pretty easy to find. This weekend we are going to film our movie and we are so excited! We think that it is a good storyline and it seems pretty scary. So this weekend we are going to go over to the first persons house and film everything we need at that house. The next day we are going to film at the other house and get every done with filming over there. We are going to make some props too, we are making some letters and a big poster that is in red paint. We are going to film in the day light and the other parts we are going to film in the dark. Which will make it a bit difficult to film because we only have a certain amount of time to film in the day light.

Movie storyboard

Hello! This is my group and I’s story board for our movie project in which we titled “Signed The Watcher”. Storyboard for such a big project like this is extremely important and useful. Drawing out and planing how we want every few seconds to look is the perfect guide for our actual filming day. Each box represents around 2-3 seconds and each paper is a scene. We included practically every movement start to finish. We also below it put in details of either what was going on or any dialogue to be more clear and precise. Along with that we stated which camera angle and shot we are using. One of the first of course is a establishing shot of outside the house we are filming in so that the audience understands what the setting is. Through the film peace we incorporated many different angles high and low and shots like wide shot reaction shots and many more. We made sure to make each box as detailed as possible to really bring our vision for the film out.

Movie design title

 Hello, we finally chose a name for our movie! My group and I came up with: “‘Signed, The Watcher’”. This Google slide shows how the opening credits of the film will be displayed in our project. We chose two fonts for the titles. The first font is called “Permanent Marker”. We chose this font because it had a rough and mysterious look to it that matched the aesthetic that we were going for. We chose to space this font out to make it more dramatic. With this font, we also decided to make it a dark crimson red color to add a more negative connotation to it and to add a more symbolic approach because the color that we chose as a strong association to the color of blood. The second font that we chose is called “Shadows into the Light”. We chose this font because it is closely related to our first font. This font also adds to our creepy horror aesthetic. We decided not to space this font out be we will be putting it in all caps to have it create a greater Impact on the audience. We will be keeping this font color white so that it will be able to contrast into our dark scenery. The titles that we want to prioritize are the film title, actors, and the director slide. The decisions that we made are not final because we may come up with better ideas along the road.

Planning for movie, location, participants, schedule, health and safety

    Hello! Within this google slide my group and I have come up with some more planning for our big movie project. The first thing we needed to decide on was our locations. We decided that we will be filming at Avalon/ Morgan's house and Jake's house and picked which scenes will be filmed where. Next, we listed out our participants. The whole group will be acting and on camera crew while Jake will be the director, Alex will be the editor, and Avalon will be on makeup. Our next step in planning was creating our schedule. We collectively decided which days we wanted to do what and are going to try our best to stick to that plan. And last but not least we made sure to include and plan out the safety aspects of our movie making. We will all make sure to remain safe during this process. We are all excited to continue on with this project and create our movie.

Shooting script

Hello! This is a google slide of my group and I's movie shooting script. In here we have each scene written out play by play including the camera shots and angles we will be using. The first scene is where we will be establishing the setting and characters. Scene two shows a different P.O.V. shot to show that they are being watched which inflicts a sense of fear and mystery. Scene three is the beginning of the conflict and apart of the rising action of the characters starting to realize they're in danger. Scene four is just the back and forth conversations of the friends. Scene 5 cuts to the other friend in search for the missing friend and her over hearing the friends in the kitchen argue. Then scene 6 is about the friend in search of the victim girl going back to her friends explaining they need to stop arguing and just look for their friend. Scene 7 shows more detail about the murderer and their approach to the victim and their encounter before she is killed. Scene 8 is where all of the friends hear a scream and run to the scene of the murder and realize what happened and are all super terrified. Scene 9 is where a note from the murderer is found and read aloud. The final scene is the friends all together right outside of where the girl was murdered where they notice the open window and then the power shuts off and its ended with a big scream. That is our plan for our two minute movie with our shots and angles, however we have not picked a title yet.

Sound Script

Hello! This is our google slides for our sound script. We wrote out the sounds needed to accommodate the actions which were written in the previous shooting script. The sound script includes all the sounds and dialogue in our film. The first scene starts off with eerie music and a sound bridge between the first two shots, accommodated by dialogue between the friend group. Scene two has dialogue between the friends concerning the missing member of the group. Scene three has one member of the group looking for the missing member, then being startled by a "prank" that was done by one of the group members. Throughout this scene there is dialogue concerning the "prank".
Scene four is a heated conversation between the two members. Scene five doesn't have any dialogue, it only has diegetic sounds. Scene six has a lot of dialogue and some diegetic sounds. Scene seven has some non diegetic sounds and dialogue. Scene eight has some sound effects and dialogue between characters. Scene nine throughout the scene suspenseful music plays while the character have dialogue. scene ten has dialogue and diegetic/non diegetic sounds.
