Funny moments - #31

  While filming for the project, there were several times when we all had to stop and just enjoy the moment and have fun. This did not exceed too much of our time filming, which was the most important part so that we didn't have to film on more than two separate days. Along with shooting each part, we were also able to work together quickly to get it right at least once.


  The funniest part of filming for me was the dialogue parts because whenever either Victor or Kyle looked at the camera, they had a big smile on their face, which caused me, the director, to laugh out loud. Another thing when shooting these parts was when Victor or Kyle forgot their lines, which filled the room with an awkward silence. 


  As well as shooting each shot, I reviewed them with my actors to get their critique or see if we should reshoot again. One shot in particular that had us laughing uncontrollably was when Tim (the protagonist) lies on the ground in pain and makes groaning noises. After watching this over, we all lost it when we heard the different types of noises Kyle tried to make.

Final Cut - #42

Final Script - #35

  For my finalized script, I completed much more of what was left of the first draft. This included things such as camera shots, music chimes, and sections for each part. With this complete, I can now finish filming and have everything organized.         Scripting was the most intricate, but necessary part. This is because it took a lot of time to put together and actually create from scratch. Not only did I have to write the lines for all of my characters, but also the way it would be shown through the camera shots. In my opinion, this is the hardest part of preparation. 

Setting and location - #27

   For this opening scene, I only wanted to make two areas the focus. One was the sidewalk, and the other was Miguel's house. Both of which can be found in a neighborhood. I found it ideal, as it was close to where I live and we wouldn't have to go anywhere far to film it.   The sidewalk would be used for the chase section, where Sammy would hunt down Tim. This setting will be the least significant, and shortest but it will be included in the very beginning. Miguel's house is the most important setting as it is where he and Tim will develop their friendship. This in turn will set up the story for the entire film.   What was most interesting about filming at these places was the lighting. The sun gave really good natural lighting, which was important to these scenes. I was able to film what I wanted to since it was pretty much clear on both filming days. I also liked how the sunset looked at the end where Tim was about to walk out.
