short film planning blog

Intro 

Hey blog! I am back and better for 2024 with my group of peers. First off, our schedule is an upcoming conflict. All three members of my group have extremely tight schedules. Sarah has volleyball games, practice, and a job. I am captain of our schools wrestling team and I have tournaments every week. Brayden work at least 3 days a week and play soccer regularly. So you can see we are a pretty busy group.  

Schedule 

Nevertheless, we have started to put together a schedule for filming. Due to the amount of conjunction in our schedule, we have decided to film on two weekends in February. We are going to film 2 parts of our film. totaling 4 days of dedicated film days. The film will be shot in a total of 3 locations. The location of our film will be in a home and a parking garage as well as a local gas station.  



Participates 

Sarah and Brayden will be the main actors in our film. I am in charge of filming and editing. 

 Although there are scene where it may appear a actor is physically harmed; Safety is the most important aspect of our film. We ensure with the creation of this short film, no one will be physically harmed. we ensured that that was the case for our group. We would not want anyone to get hurt because it would be inadequate to the time we have to film the actual video.  

Props  

our props will include kitchen items, make up sets. Our props will also include large physical items such vehicles and set items in the gas station.  

Costumes 

Our costumes will Be influenced by our actress. We intended the film to feel real to an extent so our actress will be wearing a comfortable outfit that a teenage girl would wear on an everyday basis.  

Backup filming locations 

Our back up filming locations will be A local park and the props involved will be A soccer ball and the costumes will include soccer cleats, Jersey and a goal net at the park. This will be coupled with cones to film drilling scene. Luckily we already have permission to film on 2/3 premises. We will need to ask permission from the local gas station to ask if we can film for our project. Once we receive that we have a green light on filming!

Critical reflection of In the shadows

In  the Shadows is a short horror thriller film that explores the vulnerability of young women in isolated spaces.   It follows Sarah, a seemingly normal young woman, going through a normal morning routine, who becomes the target of a sinister stalker during her nighttime jog. This critical reflection will dive into how the film represents social anxieties, utilizes branding elements, engages its audience, and leverages research to inform its narrative and challenge and use genre conve ntions.   In the Shadows reflects a pervasive social concern, the abduction of women in public spaces. The film opens with a mundane morning routine, es tablishing S arah's ordinariness.

Massive mistake rescheduling needed

Image
 Hey blog. This past weekend we finished up our short film in the shadows Upon editing I realize a massive flaw within our film. Though our filming went great with Brayden and Sarah nailing their roles to a tee, I made a mistake. I filmed the entire film vertically, an absolute travesty. It was as if the film was supposed to be on a social media app you scroll by, obviously not proper for the formatting we intended. But its not the end of the world a we have a lot of time to re shoot. I'm not going to dwell on it however as again its just a small bump on a long road. Other than the actual formatting of the film being wrong the scenes themselves are very good and I am pleased with the outcome. We will just consider the first shots as a simple rough draft. I will talk to Brayden and Sarah about another filming opportunity. Again our schedules this year has with out a doubt has been the busiest we have ever been. With work and sport conflictions between all of us, someone is going to ...
