  Hey it’s me again, back at it. I finally am completely done with the filming process! My group and I met up again a little earlier than expected this week. This was super unexpected since my group mates and I have had fully booked schedules and had a hard time meeting in the beginning, so we took advantage and finished up filming.  Before everyone arrived I made sure I had snacks and drinks to get us through the night of filming.  I then set up all the props needed such as the knife, caution tape and book.  I acted in many of the scenes that we filmed. I also filmed some more of the scenes I was not acting in. One of the hardest parts of filming for me was to get the lighting right. Since it’s a haunted horror theme it’s a dimmer set lighting. However, it was difficult at times for me to get the lighting bright enough to see the setting and actor but keep it dark to fit the genre. I also had to reshoot many of the shots in order to have a big enough area to fit my ...

  Hey it’s me again, back at it. You’ll never guess it. I actually started to get filming the movie opening. Surprisingly, we were all able to meet up and film there first couple of scenes that take place outside of the house. My group mate that was supposed to make it was even able to move around her schedule and come. The first thing I did was prepare the filming area we were using. Since we were filing at a old building/home near my house I had to make sure the property was safe and we’ll set up for filming. Everyone then met me at my house and we figured out our roles for each scene. My main role in this filming process was acting. I was in most of the scenes that we shot but I also contributed to the filming itself. Although it wasn’t my main job, when all four of us were in a shot I helped prop the camera up in the correct angle needed. I also helped the main person filming get the right angles in order to leave us room for titles. I set up my props which included mostly of j...

 Hey it’s me again, back at it. There’s probably no surprise when I tell you that my group delayed our filming process yet again. The plan was to film on Thursday but I was sadly unavailable along with one other group mate, making it impossible to film. We are both main actors in the film so we didn’t even try to film. I was surprised with a vacation by my parents for the spring break. We ended up leaving Thursday to tour colleges in Florida. It was so much fun and I got to experience so many people and things. I was very excited seeing all of these colleges but my group and I really needed to start filming. Everyone in my group had props and are ready to get filming it was just the fact that it was so hard to get together. Right when I got home I got in touch with the group. We decided we needed to film the week we got back no matter what. I said we could all meet at my house and film the first few scenes on Monday night when we get back. One of my group member won’t be able to fi...

Hey, it’s me again back at it. School has been super stressful with spring break nearing. Every teacher is cramming in last minute tests and assignments which has been taking up a lot of my time. My work schedule with spring break is also crazy and I’m working almost every night I’m not playing soccer. With all of this, it has made it almost impossible to get with my group and start the filming process. I know it will take a few days to complete filming so we need to get started as soon as possible. My group and I did schedule our first film date though. I decided we should try to start filming before spring break so we don’t have to worry too much while everyone’s traveling. So, we are going to film on Thursday night this week. This was the only day this week everyone in my group was able to make it. I have after school so it will only be for a few hours but that is better than nothing. I already have gotten all of my props that I was assigned to as well so, I can bring them Thursday....

  Hey, it’s me again back at it. My group and I were finally able to meet up and talk out some of the details of our project. The first thing I proposed we talked about was the props situation. I decided that I would buy fake blood and cob webs. I already have fake blood from Halloween at my house so, it was perfect. I also am going to get some old looking sheets to put over places in the setting to make it look a bit more haunted. We officially confirmed that our filming spot would be at my house unless something comes up. My house in under construction so it gives a sort of run down feel. There are also many open lots and construction going on near by. I will have to make sure that there is no debris and we are all safe before we film but I think the spot should be perfect. We have not fully decided on a date that we can all meet up. All of us are about to go on break so are schedules are packed. I am either working or out of town the whole break. The rest of my group mates are a...

  Hey there, it’s me back at it. My group and I had a plan to meet the other day however, I wasn’t able to make it. I had work late that night so it was impossible to get there. My group and I decided to cancel it. I decided that we would push it back so we could all be there. The new plan is to meet in the next couple of days to tune up some final decisions. I want to decide what props we need to buy and make for the film. We need to decide this so I can assign everyone to a few props in order to have them all ready for film day. There are so many props we are going to need for our film so I want us to jump on that sooner rather than later. So far my group and I have definitely decided on the costume style we want. I have already picked out my costume. I am going to wear a casual pair of pants with either a t shirt or hoodie. The plan was casual but not too bright and I think that this outfit fits that category well. We also need to decide who will be our extra actor. Since one of...
