 Scheduling

We plan to begin filming in early February during the week of the 6th and finish the week of the 20th. Then edit for a week to two weeks until it is done. This schedule includes prep time for props and costumes, planning ride accommodations, and finalizing any script or plot points. 

Location 

We are looking at multiple locations, and depending on the weather and availability, the final selection will be made. The sites are listed below 

  • Broward Mall 

  • Jacaranda neighborhood community 

  • Alex’s house 

  • TY Park 

  • Lauderdale by the sea 

  • Hugh Taylor Birch State Park 


Participants 

Include but are not limited to 

  • Nurdlie, Kennedy, Nature, Alex (producers of the film)

Health and Safety 

  • We will have a first aid kit present on the scene incase we have an unplanned accident 

  • We are also filming in close proximity to a hospital as well as a Walgreens clinic 

  • We will make sure to wear lots of sunscreen and stay hydrated so we do not pass our or have any related complications 

Props 

Props for our short film includes: 

  • Shopping bags

  • Clothes on racks

  • Cell phone

  • Picnic blanket

  • Food basket

  • journal


Costumes 

Our attire will be casual as the scenes include going to malls, neighborhoods and parks. All of these locations are casual everyday attire. Though the characters will be wearing clothes that match their personalities.


Back up plans 

For whatever reason, if one actress is unable to perform their role in the movie, we will find a replacement. To keep us on track, if one person couldn't complete an edit, another person will do it. We shall either wait another day or move to a location that resembles the one we were in before if the weather in our current location doesn't conform to the plan. Specifically, if the therapist scene can not be filmed outside in a park like the script, we will find an indoor space that resembles an office, for example a library.

Partners, again!

       For the second project we were assigned I decided to work in a group. My group consists of Jorge Lopez, and Christian Bundalevski. I typically like working in group settings because I feel like the different perspectives help provide a better final product. Obviously, I have had group projects in the past that were not so stellar experiences but I feel as if this project will go much more smoothly. Being able to choose groups is very nice as opposed to the teacher deciding.  Jorge Lopez, I have known for many years. We first became friends in the 5th grade and stayed friends all throughout middle school. We ended up going to the same high school together and spent much of last year in discord calls together along with another friend, but that is a story for another day. I have done projects with Jorge in the past and he is very good at coming up with creative ideas. He is also very funny but not overly distracting in a group setting.  Now Christian I have also known for years. W

Editing: Experimentation

       Today was the second day we had in class to edit out commercials together. We began by having Rashawn show us what he had so far. He ended up transferring our work to Adobe Premeair cut Pro so we got to see that program too.    We then began to tinker with the lighting a little bit and ended up settling with more lighting than before. We also experimented with different sounds or music clips but we ended up staying with what we had before.    While watching Rashawn edit we all became curious about how the program he uses worked. I am learning a bit of adobe due to my marketing essentials but only the photoshop aspect. I know next to nothing of Premiere Cut Pro. So Rashawn came up with a proposal. He decided to make us a copy file and we each fiddled around with the software a little bit which was quite fun.    We used the lighting options to put a black and white box over our faces and watched some clips play by, that feature was my personal favorite. We also speed up and slowed
