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
