Post-Poned

      From the title, I am pretty sure you know my group and I had gone through a lack of communication for the shoot we planned. Unfortunately, we all knew we wanted to shoot our film opening this weekend yet we didn't establish an exact time or even checked in with our main character. However, aside from our time mix-up we were all busy with other family events.

     Luckily, we have a three day weekend coming up and we thought it'd be perfect to film then. So, in this blog post I thought I'd talk about the importance of time management. The reason why I think it's important specifically for this project, is because the film opening isn't something you can do over night. It is a process! Whether it's in the planning, the research, or the editing. It all has to be done correctly, and to do things correctly, you must have enough time to do so. Thankfully, it was a mutual decision to move our filming time, so none of were really disappointed, but now we have to catch up with the class. Also, this extra time we have, doesn't have to be a bad thing. In fact, now we have more time to perfect anything we were unsure about.

    For example, Gaby suggested on Thursday that we should start planning out our film opening shot by shot on the story board templates we were given in class. Isabel and I agreed and did so, but, we started having ideas pop up in the middle of our planning, leaving our story board out of order. One of those ideas was adding in a close up shot of Carlos's chaser's hand on the mouse of the computer because we thought it would intrigue our audience. Unwelcomely, it left us confused on where to squeeze in that idea since we had already established the beginning. So now, we had to start over our storyboard.

    So, on Monday, we should be able to all agree and build our film opening with a final draft. Then, it would make the film process incredibly simple. We would just have to follow the guide we constructed together. Hopefully, we won't have to make any changes, but most likely there will be. Maybe the location might alter a couple of our shots. We''ll have to see until then.
