Kyle's least favorite shots

Kyle's least favorite shots - #29

Having all of the actors helping me film, they each had their own favorite and least favorite scenes. The protagonist Tim, who was played by Kyle, had the majority of showings. This meant that he would be included in most of the shots.

For Kyle, he felt that the better shots to film were the ones that could be completed quicker. He thought that the ones that would be quicker to film were the action shots. This is because he wouldn't be required to focus on acting, but rather following what is happening.

On the contrary, the shots that he favored the least were of course the ones where he had to act, more specifically the ones with dialogue. This is because he finds it hard to stay serious while talking to another character. An additional shot that he didn't like was the one where Tim was lying in the dirt after being knocked down by Sammy. This was because it took several takes and he had to lay in the grass while being bit up by bugs.

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.
