Design Layout

        Hey guys so for this post I am going to tell you all about what we have planned out for the layout of our film.
       We believe to film in a garage that has been turned into a room. We want to make it seem as run down as possible. The reason we have decided to make it look like this is because we want to give it an edging feel to the audience. Having a place seem all run down and dark will give the film the feel that we want in our film opening. Most of the film opening will occur in this place. In the garage we are going to keep it very basic and have a couch and a tv. The tv is the most crucial part because that is how we are going to get our message across to the audience. If we are not able to find a couch we have to make sure we have a tv. Since we are still debating on either having a child actor or an older teen actor the design layout could change according to the actor. The child could just sit in front of the tv, but if it is an older actor the they should probably be sitting on a couch or chair.  Like i have said before most of the light source will be coming from the tv so the lighting around will be darker that the the tv.
       So as far as equipment goes for the shoot I have a canon t6i that i am planning to use. I also have an external microphone which i can put on my camera to fully capture the sound. I really think that with this i can capture good quality for this film opening. 
       Well that is all I am going to be talking about in this post. In the next post i will be talking about how our storyboard is coming along so stay tuned.

Location Revise

      Welcome back for the third post of the week. In this post I am going to be explaining why we had to change our location of our film opening .         Originally we had planned out that we wanted to film in a garage with small tv and a couch. That had to change due to the reason that we could not find a garage to film in. My partner and I decided to just film inside a house and make it look as if it were a small apartment. Since our main focus is the virus that is going around we did not really have an issue with changing the location. The only thing that was a little bit difficult is that we had to get her out of the room at one point to broadcast the emergency that was going to be up on the tv. Since the house we filmed in had a very open space we had to film around that and make it seem smaller that it actually was. I ended up capturing shots that made it look as if our character was living in a small apartment, which is really good. If there were any open spaces I just had to

Sound

        Hello everyone and this is the 4th and final post of the week! This week had been very hectic since we were planning a lot to be able to go and film today. Everything at the moment is going according to plan.         While we were filming, my partner during the shots was directing the actors to do what she wanted them to do, which worked out great. The only problem with that is that she is talking in the back of the clips. So what I decided to do is grab all the stuff we were using and film separate clips of just the audio of things like walking, banging the remote, and things like that. Being able to hear the sound is very important, because without those sounds our film opening will be very plain and boring. While we were filming I filmed quick things that I could use for later. I also came across this video which shows certain things to create different kinds of sound. Having an effective microphone for this is a huge necessity for this is very important to make it seem as

On screen Text

        Hello everyone and welcome back to week 5 of the blog. This process has been a very difficult one, but we are making our way towards the end of this film opening. Since our schedules were very full and we were both going to be out in spring break we have already filmed and our in post production.         We have first began editing all the effects that we are going to put in like the text and the virus. Coming up with how we wanted the text to look like was rather easy since we wanted the text to look like a kind of hacker text. We looked up a video on youtube to figure out how to recreate the specific kind of text and it turned out exactly how we wanted it. I just have to make a few more different ones with different text but I am liking how this is looking.  We have decided to use this during the virus to make is seem that the virus is fully being transmitted. In class , we had another discussion about our projects(which I will address in a later post), some students that I
