3rd day of filming

Image
 On Thursday January 7th, we had our third day of filming. After attendance in 2nd period we headed to the local grocery store. Originally we planned to go to Publix. I talked to my mom and she mentioned that Publix may be too busy. Around the corner from my house there is a food service store. It looks just like a normal grocery store except the products are in bulk so less people shop there. At around 9:30 in the morning we all arrived. The first shot was of Blake pulling into a parking spot. We made sure to included the GFS sign to give the viewer clues to the setting. After filming outside, we headed inside to begin shooting the actual grocery scenes. The aisle where the water was located was in the back of the store and empty so that was the best place to start. We did have a little trouble with the audio in the scene. Because we were wearing masks we need to talk much louder than normal so the audience could hear the lines. After finishing that scene, we moved to the toilet p...

Critical Reflection Questions

  How do the elements of your production work together to create a sense of branding? In addition to the production of the short film, our goal was to create a film package.

The addition of the postcard, website, and social media will allow us to expand our audience. Social media has been the largest and probably most important part of our branding. As filmmakers we needed to analyze our intended audience and how to best reach them.  Teenagers and social media have a very close interaction in  everyday life. Using Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter can provide a quick and free ways to reach a large group of teenagers. We posted updates about filming and production on these sites and then linked them to our website for easy access. The ability to easily link back and forth between the soci...

Film Preperation

After starting the marketing campaign, we have begun planning to film. We want our film to be as professional as possible, so we are working hard to plan out every detail. The most important thing needed for a good film is a good camera. We will be using 3 or 4 different cameras. For different parts of the film we are going to use a different one to capture specific angles. We have a Gopro, a drone, an iPhone 11 camera, and a canon camcorder. We will use the drone for the arial shots and the gopro for the establishing shots because of the quality. For the rest of the shots and movements we will use the camcorder, or I phone.  Over the break I tested out the Gopro which I own as well as the camcorder. In addition to insuring that the technology is working, we need to make sure that every character has a costume and the props needed. Because the holiday season is approaching, we needed to order our props in a timely manor so that they would arrive on time. Amazon was our best bet whe...
