Still Awaiting Filming

Me and my partner are still awaiting filming. We haven't begun filming yet because of the schedule. We set up the schedule a certain way that compliments both of our schedules. Me and Andrew spent a while going back and forth about how and when we could film. Originally our conversation mainly consisted of ideas for our intro. We were brainstorming things that we could add and created a product that were both going to be happy with. We are also still gathering props. We are still making sure we can borrow a prop off someone that we know and is reliable. We have a schedule that we plan to follow to make sure everything goes smoothly. The schedule says that we are going to record this following weekend. So this week we are going to make sure we have everything in order. This includes the props, location, safety, and equipment. We need to make sure we check out the camera and tripod on Friday or Thursday. This is to ensure that we won't be lacking any equipment when we arrive at the filming location. Most of the props are already collected. We are both really excited to film this weekend. We believe that this is going to give us an opportunity to display something that we've been working on for a while. We have the location ready to go. We have the props ready to go. And most importantly we are ready to go.

Future Filming Intentions

As of right now me and my partner Andrew Cambron still have not filmed. This was our own choice to do it later. We decided we would do it later for a few reasons. One because we didn't have convenient schedules. We spoke with each other in terms of finding out when exactly we wanted to start and we couldn't come to an agreement. He always had something to do that weekend and then I always had something to do that weekend. So we finally found the weekend that we would both be available. That weekend was the last possible weekend for filming. In the mean time we are preparing by creating our props and making sure that our location is good to go. We made sure that Andrews parents were aware of what was going on in there house that weekend and they had no problem with it. I believe that not filming sooner is going to set us back a little bit. However, I think what really makes our intro is our editing style. In preparation I have emailed RCA Records and asked for permission for the song Teddy Bear by Elvis Presley. We wanted to go for a light-hearted feel to the beginning, but in case they don't respond in time we have a back up song that fits just as well. We are both really confident in our preparations as well. The props are going to made and collected before the day of filming so that we have everything ready. Our story board is also something we have lots of confidence in. We believe that it's just the right blueprint we we're looking for to make sure that filming goes smoothly. We're both really looking forward to filming. We also expect that filming will be so smooth that we give ourselves time to make a product for the peer-review.

Storyboard




















Above here is our story board for our film. We used ten sheets to represent what will happen in each scene. We included camera angles, shots and a picture of what the scene will roughly look like. In the first scene we will show the main character making breakfast. In the second we will show a file that alludes to his profession. In the third will show him continue to make breakfast. Then after these scenes go back and forth we will show answer the door and then abruptly slam it. We have already outline the scenes, sounds in the film, and schedule in power points. I think that our film is well organized and interesting and will be enjoyable to watch. We both look forward to filming.

Location, Schedule, Health and Safety, Participants

Recently we have planned for how we will proceed to film our video. We went over where we will film it, the filming schedule, the health precautions and who will participate. Our location for filming will be at Andrew's house. Our schedule will start today with us planning out the process for filming. For health and safety we will keep our phones charged in case of an emergency. We will also have bottles of water to stay hydrated as we film. Our film will have two participants Andrew and Emiliano. Andrew will hold the camera and play one of the supporting characters. While Emiliano will be the main character. With the planning that we have now I think that we will make a great film and enjoy doing it.

Title Research For Final Task

For our title sequence we will have over 20 title credits. They will also come in the standard order for Hollywood films. The first two have our names and the name of our production company. The next two are the actors names which will be Andrew Cambron and Emiliano Vallejo and the film title which is the Rival. The next three are who the film was casted by, music by and visual effects. Next are the caption designer and edited by. After this are the production designer and director of photography. The last four are the producer, story by, written by, and directed by. These titles will come in the order that I described them which complies with Hollywood standards. I look forward to filming this film.

Shooting Script

This presentation shows how our film opening will play out visually. It shows the different camera angles, movements, and what the characters are doing in each scene. Scene one will show the main character open the stove and will use a long shot, mid shot, close up, and extreme close up. Scene two will show a view of the main character's room and then zoom in to a file that is on his desk. Scene 3 will show the character making coffee and will use a high angle, point of view shot, mid shot, and close up. Scene 4 will cut back too the main character's room and will use a high angle and insert. Scene 5 will go back to the kitchen and will use a long shot, mid shot and close up shot. Scene 6 will still be in the kitchen and will show him beginning to eat his breakfast and will use a long shot, close up and tracking shot. Scene 7 will show an agent waiting outside the door and will use a two shot, point of view shot and high angle. Scene 8 will show the agent talking to the main character and will use a point of view shot and an over the shoulder shot. Scene 9 will show the agent's reaction and will use a close up and action match. Scene 10 will show the main character finishing his breakfast and will use a mid shot and eye match.


Sound Script

The sound script for the opening scenes of this movie is simple. From scenes one through five the song Teddy Bear by Elvis will be playing. This song will give the movie an upbeat comedic tone. We chose this song because of its happy and upbeat mood. When scenes seven through ten start the story for the movie will be introduced. In scene seven the main character will be talking to someone so the main sound will be voices. In scene eight the main character will slam the door and this noise will be the main noise. Next the agent will begin to shout. Finally it will cut the main character eating breakfast and muffled shouting will be heard. We believe that this sound was the best suited for what we wanted to do and look forward to filming.
