Filming blog: filming prep

Unfortunately, our group hasn’t gotten the chance to film yet. Luckily, we have a set date on when to film. We will be filming this Saturday at an already decided upon location. We will film at one of our group members Gavin’s house. In addition to filming at Gavin’s house we will be using our personal cameras. The other option we had as a filming instrument was the school cameras. Our teachers and school are kind enough to let us rent out cameras for filming our movies. While we would like to take advantage of this opportunity, we don’t particularly fancy the school cameras. The battery dies quickly and the quality is subpar. My group believes that by using our cell phone cameras we can achieve better quality and we are planning ahead. Because we plan on filming multiple days at different locations we think it’s more convenient to use our cell phone cameras where we can instantly access footage. The other place we plan on filming at is the cemetery by our group member Maya’s house. I believe we will get a majority of our filming done on the first day but because the cemetery is only one scene. Plus, the cemetery is far we have set a separate date. We also need to call the cemetery once we have a filming date to confirm our authorization of filming at that location. My group has also confirmed the filming date because we manage the film, and especially me as the director, we have more influence on the dates we film. However, we are still waiting on confirmation from some actors. We have reached out to all actors and potential actors for our film. This is important because we need confirmation that they can show up to film our movie or else we have nobody for our film. Attached below you will find an attempt from my group member Maya to contact one of our actors.
