Location and scouting process

 This process was rather easy since the genre of our film is based of high school students. What's amusing is when we first started this project, we started crafting ideas in a library and sure enough one of our scenes is in the library. We were confused whether we should do scenes outside the school to give a tad bit more background information on the main character the group they are in. But we ended up coming with the conclusion that we could not do this scene and here is why, Noting that we only have 2 minutes to do the opening and include the opening sequence, we would be pressed for time and would not be able to put everything we need to put. A major issue that we have based off our location is when we would be able to film. Since our location is in a school and some people have extracurricular activities that they need to do. By creating a schedule, we can be organized and have everything needed in the set time that we need to do this by. Although we did get one of the locations for the scenes, the other location was difficult but not at the same time. In this scene there was conflict between the characters two groups. We had to figure out whether it should be in the library or the bathroom. We ended up picking the bathroom since you can really capture the roughness and grittiness of the scene.

In the opening sequence of other films in my genre, the opening usually has a wide arrangement of items in it. If you do not know by now the genre, I am going for is drama/comedy that teens can relate to. Usually in teen movies in her early 2000 such as Mean girls or bring it on, it usually has the exact same type of opening just with different characters. Almost all the time you may see the protagonist which is usually a new student at a school get ready, go on a drive with music playing while the opening credits may appear. The 2000 film "Bring It On" has quite a unusual opening scene. The main character (or protagonist) appears to be cheering on a cheer team with her squad. All of the cheer members seem ecstatic while reciting their choreography. One by one the camera goes to different people, foreshadowing that they may be some of the side characters but have a major impact. Towards the end of the cheer the main character has a embarrassing moment when one of her article...

Production process

 Throughout this production process, not many types of technology were used. Since our cameras never came in, we had to be creative and use whatever we had. In the group i was in we simply used our phones to film and our computer to edit the shots to our liking. This was not really hard since the quality came out perfect and so did our shots. I personally learned that lighting plays an extremely important role in making a quality production. The lighting where he had to film was relatively dark, so we had to use certain camera angles to make the lighting a little bit brighter. The shot types that were used also had an effect on what the lighting would look like. In order to use our equipment properly, I had to watch dozens on top of dozens of videos to make sure that we produce a quality piece. These videos explained how to use the camera, how to edit, even how to hold the phone. These videos were actually a lot of help and I am very glad that I did watch them. I asked my teacher h...
