Production 2: Filming Schedule

  This week I have been working on figuring out my filming schedule and when I should be filming. I asked around for some background people and I got a bunch who said yes to  helping , but some of them don’t go to this school so I  need to   figure ou t when I can get together with them and wh at I would use them in my film for to see when I would need them. I am planning to get filming done over break, but I  need  to  see how things work out with being able to see people with Covid.  My biggest worry right now is figuring out where to film. I am not sure where I need to film or even where I could  film some specific shots.  When I’m going to  film outside, I will need time to set up and make sure everything is in place, so I am going to need to plan time for that and  will have to make sure that nothing ruins my shot.

Production 1: Casting My Movie

         This week I focused on casting my movie. I put a lot of thought into who I wanted in it. I had to think about who would take it seriously and not joke around about it.  I wanted to make my cast of people I was comfortable with, so it could be easy to work with them  and have  good communication  with them. It was hard to pick who I wanted for my  characters,  but I went with my gut and selected  whose  person alities fit best with the characters.  For my main character “Maya” she is being played by Francesca Hoffman. The twins  “ Ellie and Sage ”  are being played by Sophia Hoffman  and Anabella Rodriguez .  These are all people I know very well so I feel like this is the best cast for my movie and that  they will all help make my movie special.   

Storyboard

  My storyboard was difficult for me to make. This is because I don’t really like  to plan things too far ahead because I always want to change them over time, so I like to do things as I go. It was also hard because I had things down that I wanted to change but couldn’t because I already planned that in past  assignments,   so   I had to keep them. One slight thing I added to my story was th at   my main character falls out of her bed in the morning, because I realized that I needed more comedy in the plotline.   Also,  while  making this I realized how scarce my filming time  was,  so I tried to cut a few parts that didn’t add anything to the plot  because I wanted to get as many important scenes in there-so the watchers aren’t confused.  As I was reading one of the articles, the author had made like a list of all the important things to take notice of and double check so that helped me realize to go back and check on my...
