The Start of Filming

     Hello world, it’ s Aniyah! This is the official start of getting the final project done. Previously, we went through the steps of finding film topics, planning, story boarding, and finalizing the script. In this blog, I will discuss getting ready for the filming process. Currently, we are in the process of collecting props and choosing backgrounds for our film. By backgrounds, I mean places in our home that could be useful for the film. The lighting is very important for certain scenes that are supposed to be filmed at night. The only problem is Stephanie are not sure if we can film together during the evening, but we will try to figure something out. Stephanie and I tend to have strict parents, so we are not sure if a sleepover would be in the picture. Instead, we are looking for places with a darker setting. For example, we have the first scene of the movie later in the afternoon, during the sunset. When we put our heads together to work on the angles that will help and what we can do for the windows. We are planning on covering the windows with blankets and using inside lighting to make it look like nighttime. This will make it appear like nighttime and we will continue that for the rest of the scenes in a dark setting. Our back up plan is to pre- film in the morning and night scenes before actually film. COVID- 19 has made it extra difficult to meet up physically and film, but we are working with our circumstances. We have used technology such as texting, and calling to communicate our ideas to each other. We were trying to avoid rushing the movie. Thanks for reading! Blog you later!
