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.

Casting consideration and choices

 Casting can be a very difficult thing to do. You must be able to find people who will take their duty seriously and have some acting skills, Although we have not have started to cast, I have some ideas that I will present to my group this week. I have a few people in mind who will be a perfect fit for this task. Group member Kayla will actually be a actor in this film opening while the others will be editing and filming. Casting this week will actually be a great choice since we start production on the 22nd of February. If we can gather up a cast by Wednesday or Thursday, actors will be given time to memorize and act out their lines. The actors we choose must be good at memorizing since they have a short time to memorize their lines. So on film day we have a smooth transition and an easy production process. There is a couple of things we need to acknowledge before we start to cast. Things such as how should we do this casting process, where should the casting take place, how we would

Decisions on sound, lighting Etc

 This right here is something I failed to realize. Some questions to ask would be, what sounds would my film use?, would they be diegetic or non- diegetic sounds?, would there be narration?, these are some questions that come to mind when thinking about sound. If you ever watched a teen movies made in the early 2000s, you can see how almost all of them have narration. Narration helps give background information to the audience. For example if the characters engage  conflict, the narration can give you knowledge on why this is happening or how did it start. Music can also help with the film as well. If you are doing a horror film you would use a low pitched sound, causing a eerie feel amongst the audience and setting the mood to how you want it to be. In our case we would put music that brightens up the mood, such as pop music to show how high school (in movies) really are. If we play some low music leading to silence, this foreshadows that something may happen just about now, or maybe

Storyboard

 This was easily the most easy but difficult assignment that we have had. Since one of our group members left our group, there was a little bit of conflict during the time we had the assignment. With Kayla and my great thinking plus Adonai's creativity, we created a master piece. I gave the format and specifically what we were going to do, and Adonai successfully carried out that plan. This was difficult since we started so late, but we still got it done. This is what we have came up with
