FILMING SCHEDULE
Filming days
As a group of very busy students, it’s often difficult to find a place in our schedule where all three of us are free to film. Because of this, we thought the best possible time to film would be over our spring break coming up in two weeks. This would give us the ultimate amount of time to reshoot if necessary and give all our attention to this project. The only problem with this is that my partner Kai and I are now seniors and have received lots of our college decisions back. Usually, seniors spend their spring break visiting the schools they’ve been accepted too since decision day is May 1st. This might become an issue if Kai and I decide to visit these schools at different points in spring break, but I’m sure there will be at least three days that we will be in town at the same time. Virginia won’t have to deal with this inconvenience since she is a junior.
Issues we may come across
We want to be able to take multiple days to map out our set and see how it would really look, in case there are any miscalculations or it doesn’t appear on camera how we would have hoped. As someone who works in the film a lot, there is a chance that many things regarding technical features can go wrong. Lighting is an important factor for this film since we want it to appear like there isn’t a light source at any point in this room, so all the shots will have to be done at an angle that the light source isn’t viewed at any point.
We will also need to ensure we have the proper equipment for the time being of our project. I’m a member of the television program at our school, so I have access to lots of different types of cameras and microphones. However, this equipment is not technically supposed to be taken out for any purpose other than for TV production use, so I would have to take it out at the same time as when I am using it for the class. The check-out system allows me to only have it for a day before returning it, so I would have to check it out again the following day to have it for more than a day at a time. If this doesn’t work out, then we have a local nonprofit that lends camera equipment out to student filmmakers in my area; the only downfall with this is it's a 30-minute drive to the location where I could be borrowing the items from my school. Because of these timely issues, we would need to map out the exact dates that we are filming and how long we plan to film in order to have these designated cameras, lights, and whatever else we may need for the time needed.
