Film Time!

I am now back from Spring Break and have time to film. As I mentioned in my last blog, I thought I would have time with my group to film after break was over and I did. I was able to film with my group today. I met up with them at Juan's house because we figured that there were some good empty streets around him. He also has a park next to his house that people rarely go to. Because no one really goes to that park, we could get a time when there isn't anyone there, which would be perfect for our film. In the film, we want to go for a deserted world and the park without anyone there would be perfect. So, we all met at Juan's house and started filming. I was able to film through a good little bit of the film. I started off with filming the low angle of the bed and pedestal up to Monzur, who was laying in the bed. I had to reshoot this scene a couple times because Monzur would be laughing on the bed and then I would start laughing as well. Next, I filmed the alarm clock. I had to change the time on the clock though as I wanted it to be at around noon and we were filming at around 4. So, after I changed the time on the clock, I was able to film it for a couple seconds. For the next bit of filming, I had to stand on the bed, over Monzur who was sleeping. This was hard to film because I had to be back far enough to where my feet weren't in frame, but got Monzur in the shot. That was all I was able to get done with filming for today, but my team and I decided we are going to film again on Friday after school to, hopefully finish up the rest of everything so we can move on to editing.

 Hi, my name is Keith and I chose this class because I have had many friends take it and I've heard great things about it. They were raving on how fun it is creating films and learning how to do different tricks in their filming. I also need a couple more Cambridge credits to get my diploma, so I thought I would try this out because of this class's great reviews. I expect to learn how to edit my videos to do all sorts of cool things such as cross cutting, shot/reverse shot, jump cuts, and many more interesting techniques. My goals are to be able to learn these techniques and create some really cool pieces of work. I want to keep these skills with me when I'm older because I think it is useful to know how to film. You never know where like can take you and who knows, I could end up becoming a film director. For this project, I chose to work with my buddy Jake. We've known each other since kindergarten. Ever since we met each other, we have just clicked. We would spend th...
