 The current progress of my project is the same as I left it a week ago. I have been on spring break as have the rest of the young people in the USA. So during this time, I had time away from school which I took to relax. This was well needed with the bunch of tests that I have come as do the rest of the USA. Spring break is  a vacation period in early spring at universities and schools, which started during the 1930s in the US and is now observed in many other countries as well. Unlike the UK or other commonwealth countries, we only have one week of spring break,  unfortunately.   This is due to spring break and getting some much-needed time off. Last week I was busy relaxing and also working on myself. This week I will be working towards completing my film. Going forward I will make some productive changes to my project. But for now, the current eta is exactly the way I left it. Moving on from now I will now begin the filming process tomorrow. I have a plan moving ...

 So currently in the United States, this is our last day for school. From now until the end of March we will be on spring break. This is extremely well needed with all the different classes having to be kept up with and the work. This spring break will be the break every high schooler or anyone in school has needed since the time school started. I am very excited to take a break and focus on my mental health. It is very important to get back in tune with your mental self that a lot of people seem to forget about. When it comes to school, grades, and work overall. So spring break will give us this time to check in with ourselves. Also, spring break gives us time to let loose and not have to worry about anything. Which is very well needed as well when the only thing you're focused on is a bunch of test coming up and projects. So with spring break happening I will be taking a well-needed break from school and my current project I have been working on. Tho I am very excited to see the ...

 I started my filming today at a better time, so the lighting was perfect. The huge part of filming this part of the film was a bit tricky. It was tricky not to show my location but putting on a good show. Due to my amazing scheduling, I was able to get things done on time. I began the filming process by putting on my costume. From there I started to get my props in order. Because I was doing so many scenes this day I had to make sure that the timing was perfect. I had to make sure that the different places that I was filming in were prepared and ready. I then started the filming process with my fellow actor. I did this to a scene that the kidnapper was kidnapping the kidnapped. Another big problem in my filming process is just making sure that the audio sounds good. This is tricky for me because there is a lot of background noise. But I find ways to get past this challenge. I do so by the timing of when people will not be around. Due to my camera person I was able to get the shots...

 As I began filming once again today it was a bit rocky at first. It was rocky due to the lighting and adjusting the screen of my film. It was hard because due to the time when I was able to film. I was able to film in the afternoon when the sun was starting to go down. I made no changes to the script. Thankfully everything went well and I was able to execute to the highest degree. I was the only actor filming so I had to play both roles. Meaning I had to switch back and forth with outfit changes etc. There were no problems that prevented me from filming today which was great. The only annoyance would be the lighting. Another annoyance would probably be the background noise. I had to make sure that when filming it was completely quiet. The filming process was relatively smooth. I started the day by making sure everything thing was in place for filming. I especially made sure everything thing was in place when I had to go back and forth with the different characters. When I was goin...

 In this blog, I will be talking about my filming journey. Today I started the first scenes of my filming. I started by scouting out the perfect area to start filming. Once the lighting was right and the area was because there were a lot of people around we began. It was pretty hard filming since there was a lot of background audio. So we went to look for a better area and started to film there. It was a good thing that we moved locations due to more people showing up and the loud noise. Due to the planning that was done before we were able to find a location fast. It worked because it was our plan b option. Without this mastermind planning, we would have been in total confusion about what to do next. Or even if we could do anything next to full our task. From there we started to get into charter and our spots. Then we started to film and do a close-up shot of the person speaking at the time. After we then got a close-up of the other one. Once we were done with that we moved on to ...

 I did not film today! The reason for this is because I was busy with other things that were happening this week. But from here on out I will be following my schedule going forward. The music choice that I am going to have in my film will be scary intense music. I am doing so because it will fit perfectly will my thriller genre. Another reason why I haven't filmed today Is that I am not prepared. I am waiting until I am so I can set everything up. Once everything is in order and to my liking, I will go from there. Starting my thriller movie with all of the great techniques I have learned over this period of time. Taking this class has really helped me and is going to help in the final product of my movie. What will help me the most in my movie that makes it different from anything else I have done this year. Will be the use of title opening and creating one that fits the theme of my movie. The only problem I think I will have in my film is making it all fit under 2 minutes. Due to ...

  The opening credits of my film will appear in the center of the screen. My credits will also be very bold with the coloring of them poping. Off of the black background screen. Some of the credits will pop onto the screen. Also, others of them will gradually appear. The credits will also disappear after 3 or 4 seconds. Due to the spacing, everything will be easily legible. As well as the color of the words it will be easy to read. The main title will be on the screen for 6 to7 seconds. I will do this to add anticipation. Also afterward I will have a dramatic pop of it fading away. The rest of the other titles will move quicker than the first one. Due to this all taking place this will help me. With the final part of the project. Which will be shown first in my film. So due to it being shown first, it is the most important. This part of the film will come out incredible with all of the things that I am doing now. My final project of this film will look professional. Overall due to ...

My storyboards are very important. They show the different steps that are in place in my movie.  This process helps create the best movie possible. Due to taking this step, I was able to see what was going to happen next and how it will make my movie feel. The storyboard is key to starting a movie to see if the concept makes sense or if it's worth it.
