PREPARING TO FILM

FILM PREP

Welcome back! It's only been a day, but there's always more media to media study. In this post, we're gonna be getting into the deeper specifics of getting ready to film. My last post told you when my team and I would be filming, but not the juicy details! So in today's blog post, we're gonna get into the meat of it.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW

ACTORS

• Sarah Sanabria as Juliet

DATES AND TIMES

• As of right now, further film dates are TBD since the three of us do have jobs that release schedules weekly, as well as on different days

SCRIPTS

• The "acting" script is our storyboard

• As the writer, I will be putting together a little physical script for us to use while filming

FILM EQUIPMENT

• Nicole's camera (Canon Rebel T6)

• Camera stand

• Smartphones (for audio recording)

WHO'S DOING WHAT

• Nicole: Filming, directing

• Emily: Set dressing, scriptwriting

• Sarah: Acting, costumes

CHALLENGES

I do think we will find some challenges in recording some scenes. I'm a little worried because part of our filming does rely on recording activity in a mirror, but I'm sure we'll be able to figure out the angle. Filming a car actively driving also might be a little scary. Editing sounds in a way that is synchronous is also something I find myself anxious about. The three of us really want this movie opening to come out ver high quality, which raises expectations.

EASY PARTS

I'm excited for the behind the scenes work of dressing the set. I think we have a lot of freedom on how we can make things look, which I know is going to be amazing. Also other than the few shots I mentioned before, I don't think filming should be all too difficult. All of our props and costumes will be easy to attain, mainly being things we already have. That is one of the reasons we picked this genre, and smart thing we did!
