We are done! (With filming)

We finally got our last few shots today and I have to say, I really like the way our shots came out. We went to Andres' house to film our scenes. We went around 7:00 pm to fits because we wanted to get our shots at dusk and at night. And we got some amazing shots.

We played with some cool angles, we used a lot of high angle shots, close ups, and low angle shots to mix up the composition a bit. We also got creative with how we got our shots. I had to get into a tree and get a very high angle shot, I was so scared, I climbed the tree with slides on, I though I was going to fall. Luckily I did not fall. Also we used a chair with wheels as a dolly, and I was pulled in the chair to create a smooth shot so we can get a steady pan. We tried to get the shot without the dolly but it was awful, so the chair worked perfectly. None of us own a tripod, so we had to get creative on how to stabilize our camera. We leaned it up against a tree, my knee, and leaned it up against a car seat. The shots came out how we wanted and we are all happy about how they are out.

But we have one dilemma; so we have one shot that goes from Markham park straight to the inside of a car, three of our group members don't like that idea, but Austin likes it. We want to have an establishing shot of the car, which we have a shot of a tree tat tilts down to the car driving by that I think looks amazing. That is why I stood on the tree. The shot of Markham going to the shot of the tree tilting down is a perfect transition. But we are going to have to convince Austin to go with our idea. Hopefully he will side with us.

Hobo Hole

Good afternoon! Today we filmed our intro for our film Unlaced, it went very well and we got some awesome shots to work with. We still have like three shots to get but we are going to film that on Thursday. Today we went to Markham Park, a local park with great places to film. We went to the famous "Hobo Hole", basically it is a tunnel that goes under the highway. We did not go in the hole because it was closed up. But we did climb up the ramp under the freeway and got some awesome shots. The one thing I did not like about today is that I had to lay on the ground and act dead, the ground was full of ants that loved to nibble on my skin. The weather today was perfect for our shoot, it was gloomy out, which is the tone of our movie. But it was hazy and it looks like it was going to rain, which it did after we left. One thing I am going to have to do later this week is find a song for the first few seconds of the film. Im looking for something like the Walking Dead theme. S...

Target Practice, again....

Since we changed our idea to a dramatic mystery movie we now have a new target audience, this post will go into detail on who would like to watch this movie and why. So grab your bow and arrow, its time to shoot some targets! (Sorry, that was really corny) The target audience for our film would be anywhere from the ages of 16-35 of both genders. These groups of individuals like to watch dramatic mysteries because it is an escape to their everyday life. They like the sense of mystery for the hour and a half, it is a time for them to be able to fantasize and use their imagination. Check this article out. Our movie also targets gay individuals, men and women. This movie breaks the boundaries of a gay relationship, two men who are secretive about their love for each other is relatable to some but also intriguing enough to engage audiences to fill a theater and watch this. So we are going to surprise audiences' with our twist that our main characters are gay and that one killed t...

Character Profile

Hey guys, so we decided to go with my idea of the two gay boys. We have our entire opening planned out and we are going to film of Sunday. In this post I am going to go through the character description of our main character Brennan (which means sorrow) here is proof . Brennan is a gay teen who is not open about his sexuality, was secretly in a relationship with Leo, who has tragically been killed by Brennan on accident. But that is not the point right now, Brennan is ashamed of the fact that he is gay, he is scared of what his friends are going to say and does not know what his parents will say. He is not alone, a survey taken in 2013 states that 4 in 10 kids who openly come out with their sexuality are not accepted by her family or friends, here is the study . Brennan feels like he would be shunned by his family and friends so he does not tell anyone. Being a closed gay teen is tough not only at home but also in school, there are cases of bullying all over the world, but it is prom...
