Film blog: couldn’t film... again

Hey guys,
Me again. Yes I know you’re so sick of these non- filming blogs. I’m so so sorry! It’s difficult to find
During the week due to how late I get home, and my homework. I promise, I will have a filming blog for you on a Sunday and an editing blog for you on Monday. I’m going to film over the weekend, do a quick edit on Monday along with peer reviews. I’ll have that blog for you by Thursday. I’m so sorry for this you guys. I know how much you look forward to how filming goes. I promise I’ll have something for you by Sunday! Enjoy your night. Look forward to Sunday’s blog!

Filming: Camera Died

Hey guys!
So unfortunately before I got a chance to film at least the beginning of my film, the camera died. I charged it over night so hopefully sometime during the week or this coming weekend I’ll have some interesting stories for you. So while the camera was charging, my sister, one of the actors in my film went over the the script and the lay out of how the beginning of the film would go. We will do the same again tonight. I’m hoping to get the beginning next to perfect. I’m still very excited for how this film will play out. I will go over the script with my other two sisters who are also actors in my film. I will do the same with my brother. Over the course of this week we will work on blocking and the script. I will do the same for my dancers, I’ll teach them the choreography just so they’re not completely new to it. So this week will be very eventful and busy for all. Hope to have some more exciting stories for you next time! Till then.

Filming Blog: Couldn't film

Hey Ya'll,
So over the weekend I didn't get a chance to film. On Friday I didn't attend school due to the day being used to honor the fallen angels from MSD. Due to not going on Friday I didn't a chance to check out a camera so that I could film. Since I didn't film over the weekend, I mainly thought about the process my film would undertake, and what would have to happen. I also worked on some of the choreography in my free time. I envisioned in my head what needed to be done to make this film work and become my idea. I've also been working outside to make sure the area where we'll be dancing and filming looks nice and ready for the film. I worked out details with my sisters and parents as well. I made sure that everything was set in stone so that when I do get a chance to film, everything will be ready and perfect. I've also been working with music and the music that will go into the film. Even though filming wasn't able to be part of my weekend, I still worked out the things that needed to be fixed for the film process to be able to run smoothly. This weekend or next I'm hoping to be able to film so that I can quickly get to editing so that I can be ready for our peer reviews.  The filming process shouldn't take more than and hour to an hour and a half. We'll take 2-3 takes of every scene to make sure that it's absolutely perfect. I'm excited for the film process because I get to combine the two things I love, dancing and being able to make my ideas come to life on a screen. The best part about it is I get to do it with the closest people in my life.  So the plan is to hopefully film in the next two weeks and get editing by at least next week Friday so that I have what I need for peer review. Tomorrow I'll check out a camera and converse with my actors to see what I'll be able to film for the weekend whether it's just the scenes that take place in the house or if it's just the dancing scenes for that day. So this is my plan, and I'm excited for how it'll all turn out.
yours, Tay <3

Planning: Storyboard

Hey ya'll,
So today's blog is my storyboard. A storyboard is a quick sketch and explanation of the sketch. Sometimes storyboard involve the types of angles and shots being used in the film. In my storyboard, there are 10 storyboard sheets. Each explain a quick breakdown of scenes along with a quick sketch of it. This storyboard breaks down each scene, and details the story line more and more. It gives a brief idea of the film, and the connection that all the actors share with each other. I hope you all enjoy!

Planning: Title Design

So this blog will consist of my title design and name I have for my film. I will be showing how the titles will look, colors along with it. I will be explains how the titles will enter and exit through the film. I also stated how Long each title will stay up on the screen. All of the spacing shown will be what the titles will look like during the film. Hope you enjoy.

Planning: Dialogue and sound script

Hey guys,

Planning: Shooting Script

So I'm back and today I will be showing you my shooting script for my film. In this film,  I've included a play by play of the scenes. I've also included camera angles and shots. Some angles included are high and low angles, a close up, a pan shot, a tilt reveal shot, and many more. In this you will have an idea of how my film will look and what my idea for this film is. This film includes a lot of choreography, and some time lapses. I hope you use your imagination for sort of help you understand my idea. enjoy <3
