More filming

We decided that the story and filming were not that fantastic after analyzing the footage from the last filming session. Instead, I decided to re-shoot a few sequences and create a few new ones. I began by discussing some story ideas with the actor, and we agreed to have a flashback to an emergency broadcast, followed by the actor waking up to an alarm clock a few weeks after the apocalypse. Monzur and Juan were seated on a couch watching TV and conversing when an emergence broadcast appeared on the television. Next, I shot a close-up of Monzur's eyes while he was asleep, set an alarm clock, and had him jolt up.His eyes opened, then the alarm clock was turned off. Then I realize that my supplies are running low. I then recorded him packing a bag for a supply run. Then it's up to you. Monzur was lacing his shoes in preparation for his supply run, and I got a close-up image of him doing so. I climbed onto his roof for the following photo. I recorded him strolling down the street from his driveway. I sat down and took a closer look at Monzur's legs and feet as he walked along the sidewalk. I talked about how to do the following shot with Juan as a zombie hiding around a corner with my group. I came up with the idea of recording an over-the-shoulder view of Juan standing aimlessly, and when the unsuspecting Monzur saw it, he thought it was a good idea.in view Juan the zombie is alerted and attacks Monzur. I followed behind Juan while he ran towards Monzur and attacks him. This was a difficult scene to film as I had to sometimes stop and wait for there to be no traffic and because


 of the acting. This scene was shot many, many times. I even moved locations, such as across the street (with the actors) to get a different perspective on this scene. After what felt like 30 shots ofthis scene. My group and I decided that we should be ok in having the right shot and we wrapped upfilming. Within those many different shots of this scene, there is surely I that is ok to put in the film. If none of the shots were good, I planned to meet up with my group on Sunday to finish and to tweakwhat we have so far.

Filming for the first time


 After reviewing the footage taken in the last filming session, we decided that the story and filming were

not that great. Instead, I decided that I was going to re-shoot some scenes and make some new ones. I

first started off with discussing some plans with the story and decided that we would have a flashback

to an emergency broadcast, then have the actor wake up to an alarm clock a couple weeks after living in

the apocalypse. I filmed Monzur and Juan sitting on a couch watching TV and talking when all of a

sudden an emergence broadcast pops up on the screen. Next, I filmed a close-up shot of Monzur's eyes

of him sleeping, had an alarm clock go off, him jolt his eyes open then shut off the alarm clock. Then I

had an over the shoulder shot of Monzur writing in a diary of his life in the apocalypse. I filmed him

walking over to his closet where he is keeping his food rations in the apocalypse and show that the

supplies are running low. Next, I filmed him packing a backpack to go on a supply run. After that, I had

a close-up shot of Monzur tying his shoes to get ready for his supply run. I got up on his roof and for

the next shot, I filmed him walking out from his driveway to the street. I got down and did another

close-up shot of Monzur's legs and feet walking down the sidewalk. I discussed with my group how to

do the next shot with Juan hiding around a corner as a zombie. I came up with recording an over the

shoulder shot of Juan standing aimlessly and when the unsuspecting Monzur walks in view, Juan the

zombie

is alerted and attacks Monzur. I followed behind Juan while he ran towards Monzur and attacks

him. This was a difficult scene to film as I had to sometimes stop and wait for there to be no traffic and

because of the acting. This scene was shot many, many times. I even moved locations, such as across

the street (with the actors) to get a different perspective on this scene. After what felt like 30 shots of

this scene, My group and I decided that we should be ok in having the right shot and we wrapped up

filming. Within those many different shots of this scene, there is surely 1 that is ok to put in the film. If

none of the shots were good. I planned to meet up with my group on Sunday to finish and to tweak

what we have

Change of plans

  


. I was scheduled to meet up with my group today to shoot for our final project. I had planned to meet and film with them today a while back, but some issues happened, and we had to reschedule our filming dates. 
I assumed that everyone was available, however some folks had last-minute plans. Monzur, the film's lead actor, had a family vacation scheduled, and he left today. Because it's the day before Spring Break, I assume he'll be on a family trip. It's only natural that he'd go today, too, because his family wanted to start their vacation early. It was probably a bad idea to schedule this that day but we had to do what we had to do.

1 change made blog


 We as a group decided to remove something from the movie. We really thought we could do a better job a whole. So changing the script is what we decided to do. We took a long time thinking of what we wanted to do. We took a 3 hours of banter to finally make to a decision. The first thing that we thought of was if we wanted to just take away random scenes that  we thought didn't fit. But what we noticed that most of these scenes had the main character's brother. So our decision was to take the brother out of the film completely. So we started to edit the scenes with him not inside of them. But we could not get them finished because he is in multiple of the scenes. The main reason that we did this is because we wanted to make things more concise and just not make it too long also. Taking that brother out was the key to making my group having not pass the limit. Not passing the time limit was key. But I was the one to edit the storyboard so that we could know what exactly had to do now. So we can get at that 2 minute mark instead of being over it. so this change could have been the difference of me passing or not. so obviously I will going to do whatever I can to change. After that my I took it to my group so that they could say if they approved or not. They all approved which was great if course. That was what made my day that day.

Backup planning

We were trying to go film this day. But unfortunately it was not possible. For the reason that it was raining. So, we settled on doing it a different day. So it was  impossible to able to film outside  We initially arranged to urge together nowadays and film. Shockingly, it down-poured and we chosen that it would be best fair to plan to meet for a diverse day. Since it was down-pouring, we wouldn't be able to film any scenes exterior. I play water polo as my primary wear, and recreations prior in my season have gotten cancelled. They required to be rescheduled and one of them was rescheduled to nowadays. I didn't realize this, so that was another strife for assembly to film. Instep, I got together over at Monzur's house with my gather and talked about what we ought to do. I checked on our storyboard with the gather, to see if there was anything we got to touch up on. Some of issues arrized with it. For illustration, close the conclusion of our storyboard, our kid listens a thump on the entryway and when he opens it, it is his brother. It is his brother at last and I do not think that this portion should be within the film where he meets his brother. The film can be long sufficient without that portion, but it is sweet to have as a backup plan Lao that we can always at least get something done.

The putting is sad and ominous, as such we determined to move for a subject matter that might be taken into consideration eerie, and make the viewer uncomfortable in a sense. Obviously we do not have the expertiseor functionality to make our personal subject matter song, so we determined to have a take a observe films or indicates that had beenalready properly established. I suppose its clean that one of the maximum famous piece of entertanment that involves anyone's thoughtswhile considering this type of genre, is the Walking Dead. Its obtrusive that this display has some thing that now no longer a lot of differentindicates or actions had, as a consequence it has had one of these longer term time. The picks of tune withinside the display withinside theone of a kind scenes makes it perfect. Although, it is able to be argued a few seasons had been now no longer as much as par, the there song gambling in the course of each scene simply gave a ominous, eerie feeling to it. I emailed the composer Bear McCreary a couple of weeks ago, however sadly we nonetheless in no way were given a response. Nevertheless, there may be no motive to reside on matters we don't have any manage over. I began out searching at a few different filmsjust like the subject matter of 28 Days Later. I believe exceptionaldigenetic sound can without a doubt be a make or wreck for plenty films and indicates. If sick else fails, its very much affordable to have a take a observe royalty loose tune. We do now no longer want any license to get the rights to apply royalty loose tune, as the composer themselves made it so we do now no longer should make certain we are able to get permission earlier than we use it.
