What's our Plan (Production Blog)

Back at it with another blog. Me and my groupmates are almost ready to start the filming process. Today we planned out a rough draft of what it is we want to do. For example, choosing the location (a house). Making sure it was the vibe we wanted. Weve been planning each and every production element to the best of our ability's. Details as small as the set and props to making sure that every detail in the film is aligned with the script. We are also figuring out what we want our actors to wear. Nothing specific has been chosen at this point. Some test scenes have been filmed as an "estimate" of some angles and how the project will be filmed. As the editor it has been my job currently to test out how sound will be best incorporated into the film. Every little detail on sound will be meticulously chosen to best convey the feelings and vibe. Honey has been testing out different lightings as well to see what best mirrors the themes portrayed in our script. Filming will start February 16th and were hopeful of it going well. Greg and Honey will both be actors. As of now Honey has been assisting Greg with his expressions. I on the other have been focused on more of the behind-the-scenes work. As well as preparing for editing. Doing things like making sure I have tested out the editing software's I would like to use. Soon we will being the process of picking our music.
