Filming day 1

 Hello today I’m going to be talking about our filming. We wanted to split our filming into two days. We decided this because on the first day it was getting dark out. There were some scenes that needed to be in the light. So we had to split up the filming in two days. So when we first started filming we went to jakes house. I was in charge of being the costumes . When we got to James house I soon realized that I forgot his costume. So I had to drive all the way back to my house to get it. It was already getting dark so when we got all ready it was pretty dark. We were worried that the lighting wouldn’t be good in the dark. So we got some flashlights so you could see us. We also had to look out for cars and other people. We had to look out because we were filming this in the middle of the street. We also had to make sure no dogs were barking. That took some time because when filming the scenes in the street there were some dogs barking. So after getting the street scenes done we started to film us walking up to the house. This was kinda hard because the lighting wasn’t the best. But luckily we had the flashlights which helped a lot. After those few scenes we decided to take a break because the lighting was getting worse and worse.

Social media

 Hello today I will be talking about our social media platforms for our movie. These platforms include Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. On these platforms we put the information about our movie. We included the actors, when it would be coming out, and the title of the film. When creating these platforms it was a breeze. This is because we all know how to set up social media platforms. I set up Instagram and that was pretty easy. But after I set it up I had to follow every other film group on Instagram. Which was good so now we can show off our idea with an audience. Some of our followers are also just random people who just want to see the movie. Morgan did Facebook and she said it was ok setting up. She had to download the app because she never used it before. But after she got logged in she said it was pretty good. We made the Facebook just like the Instagram one. We added the title, names of the actors, and when it will be showing. We also added the same profile picture in both. Alex did Twitter and said it was easy. She already had Twitter so it was a breeze for her. Like before we added the same profile picture. We also included everything we added to the Instagram and Facebook one.

Filming

 Hello today I’m going to be talking about filming. Specifically filming my group and I movie. Me and my group mates are so excited to film. We are so excited to finally make our story come to life. We are so excited to see how are acting skills are too. Since we made a short film last year we are pretty familiar with the skills we need. We also know what we have to do to get the perfect angle or lighting. When we filmed last year it was an amazing experience. We got to really see what it’s like and how serious and fun it can be. When it came to filming this year my group and I couldn’t be more excited. Unfortunately we haven’t started filming yet. One of our group mates went out of town for the break. So we couldn’t start filming. We were planning to try and start over break. Now we are going to plan it for another time. We have all of our stuff planned out. We know where we are going to film. Which is super important because without knowing that we wouldn’t be able to film and see our vision. We also know what we are going to use in the movie to make it look realistic. For example our props for our movie.

Choosing music

 Hello today my group and I chose our music for our film. For our film there are going to be different tones in the music. We will also need different speeds of songs. So we can capture all the emotions. While choosing our music we had to think about what our genre is. Since we are doing horror movie we wanted eerie music. We did some research to see what type of music is usually in horror movies. When we looked it up it says hard rock music, and eerie music. So we looked up some hard rock artists and we saw Rob Zombie. So my group and I are thinking of using one of his songs. Rob Zombies songs have been used in other horror movies. Some of these horror movies include House of 1000 corpses. His songs give theses movies a sense of unsettling and unsure feeling. We would like to use his hit song “living dead girl”. We would use this song as an introduction to our movie. We feel if we use this as an introduction it would give the audience a creepy and uneasy feeling. This would be great especially if it’s at the beginning so the audience knows what the vibes are going to be for the rest of the movie. We have not contacted him yet to ask for his permission. My group and I haven’t been in contact over the break. So when we get in contact we will email him.

Creating our website

 Hello today my group mates and I created a website. My group and I were so excited to create these. Along with that we also created 4 social media’s. For our website we used Wix.com. We all assigned what social media we were going to create.Alex created the website for our group. The website is to show the audience what our movie is about. It’s also to show the people who star in it. She said it was fairly easy but she did have a couple issues with it. Alex also Created the Twitter account. While making this account Alex found it easy to make this account. This is to make us have a wider audience and to show off our movie. Morgan created the Facebook. While making this account Morgan had some trouble. She said that it wouldn’t let her type in the movie name. We made the Facebook to widen our audience. Jake made the YouTube. Jake has a hard time making the YouTube account. He said he had trouble because they wouldn’t let him make another account since he already had one. Luckily we figured it out and got the channel created. I made the Instagram account. I found it very easy because I know how to work instagram. This is also to show off our movie to a wider audience.

Storyboard blog

In our storyboard 4 friends are trick or treating when they come across this haunted house. When they go into the house I go into a different room and find a mirror. When looking into this mirror I find that there is something evil in this mirror. I then find myself getting possessed and killing everyone in my path. Until Morgan finds a way to break me free from this curse.

 

Planning Blog

Hello! Today my group and I went on a video call to discuss our plans for making our short film. We listed everyone that makes up our group along with other friends of yours that will be alongside side us to help film and/or set up for our filming day. Then we set up our schedule and typed up future dates for when we plan on filming, editing, refilm, and re-edit. We hope to begin the filming process right around Thanksgiving break so that we have plenty of free time to work. We also took the time to talk about all of the necessary health and safety precautions we will follow especially during the pandemic. Lastly we planned each of our character's costumes and props we intend to use. The location for filming is at Jake’s house and at my house.
