Re shooting

We currently have not been able to film. We were able to re do a few scenes. But school got canceled because of the coronavirus. So it has been kind of hard to film. A lot of things have closed. Other things have closed early. They also stopped letting people inside. So, we could not go into the library to re shoot takes. We were able to do a few. But, many things are closing for at least a month.

 So, we have to work with the film that we have. Some of those films could have been re done. But, we cannot get into those places. We also cannot be in big groups of people in other places. So, the coronavirus has made filming way harder. So we are just going to edit. We will edit some stuff out. As well as cut videos and other stuff. We will try to make it look the best we can. But as far as re-shooting, we had to stop for now.

 

Re filming

My group and I watched all of our takes. We have watched both the previous takes and the older takes. After watching them we decided that some re filming was needed. We tried to best pin point exactly which takes needed to be re done. But as we film and fix some of the scenes, we find new issues. When we try to edit in the new takes something about the take does not allow the film to look right. Some time is does not fit the angle that the previous take was taking from. And sometimes, it does not match the angle for the take after. So, we have to re film. We also have to make sure that we are using the correct angles.
We have been able to re film a few takes. But, they still do not look right. So although we have been filming, the takes still cannot be used. We also only have a limited time when filming. Everyone has different schedules. So, this makes filming harder. It only allows us to have certain days and times to film. So we can only get a certain amount of work done. This makes filming harder because we have less time to work with. But we are continuing to film and try different things to improve the film.

So, recently we have be working on editing out film. We re-filmed before we continued to edit. We also looked at all the old film. We tried to correct the things that were wrong the last time we filmed. We had lighting issues and people getting in the way.  After looking back at the films we found different problems. People that were acting for us got in the way. In some shots, the person filming got people who were not supposed to be in the film in it. So we have to fix those takes. Or we have to cut the videos.
We are also trying to look at the smaller errors that we made. We have to fix the font of the title. We used a different font to for the title in the video verses what we planned to do. We also do not like some of the other things and the way that it is edited. For example, some of the ways the takes were put together. It does not flow the way we want. It looks a little bit choppy. But we plan to keep editing. We are going to try to edit out the flaws. But, if we can't we may have to re film.

I really like the transitions. I also like the film in itself. It has good individual takes. The film wasn't choppy which I also liked. But, they could've been smoother. Some of the takes looked like they didn't belong together. But, the film still was not choppy. I also like how clear it was. The camera person was not shaking the camera at all. The video was very easy to see exactly what was going on.

The plot was kind of confusing to me. The individual takes made sense when they were separate. But, when they were put together it got a little confusing. If I could make one suggestion it would be about how the takes come together. I think they should try to make it come together better. A lot of the scenes started in one place and the next scene started in another location. This kind of made it confusing to me about what the main idea was. There was also a lot of different scenarios. The girl killed her family but, her parents were missing and someone was trying to get into her house. I was not sure how that came together.

Filming blog; started

We started filming. We had to re do many of the takes we originally took. The last time we tried to film it was raining. So, many of the previous films could not be used. There was too much sound in many of the films. And the rain the was too loud in some of the other films. When we were in the garage the cars shook the camera and was too loud. So, we looked at those films this time we filmed. We did this to find mistakes in our filming.  It also helped us improve our filming.
This time filming was a bit easier. We were able to find more spots that were not as loud. We also found a parking lot that was not as busy. This allowed there to be less sound. The library also was not as busy. So, our takes from the library as came out better. Not as many people interrupted or interfered with the camera. Filming this time was a lot more enjoyable. We were able to have fun and get a lot of work done. Its good to film when it's raining but, sometimes it gets too loud.

Filming blog : we haven't started

We recently started filming. We are working outside of class. Over the weekend, we began to film. But the weather was bad. We tried to film in the garage. It started raining really bad at first. So, we waited for the rain to stop. But, every time we began to film the rain would start. The parking garage we found was also very busy. It was also too nosy to film.
When we went into the library, we also had difficulty filming when we were in the library. There was a lot of people there when we were there. Many of the times we tried filming, we were interrupted by someone. Either someone walked past the camera or someone got too close. Other times people were talking. Even though it is is supposed to be quiet in the library, many of the small sounds got picked up. When we looked back at the films, we could hear many of the nosies. So, many of the films we took can't be used. We are going to try to find a different garage and library. We also are going to find a day when the weather is better.

Filming blog

We're in our filming stage. But, we have not started. We are trying to put more ideas together. We are waiting until we have everything planned out. So far we have put a plan together that seems like it works. But, as a group, we were not fully ready to film yet. We have to pick the best day for us individually that will allow us to all be available. But, we all have different schedules and activities. So, that makes it harder. We are now picking a day.
When we start filming, we're going to need multiple filming days. We have a few locations we have to go to. We need to first go to the library. We're going to the library to film the first scene in the movie. Then we have to find a parking garage. The parking garage has to have good lighting. It also has to be less busy. We're looking for a less busy garage so that filming is easier. If there is too many cars it will be harder. It also will be louder.
