Filming Blog: Week Two

Currently we haven't filmed yet. Because of the loss of one of our group members, our schedule had to be changed around. We plan on filming this coming weekend. It shouldn't be a problem getting everyone together. Its most likely going to be harder to film effectively without that member, but we are glad that she wasn't in the film itself. If she was, we would have had to find someone else to fill her spot. We will be filming at my house getting shots of my office and street. We will use the office shots for the more serious scenes. A few of the scenes are the ones with dialog and paperwork. any communication that goes on will most likely happen in the office. This is because of the controlled environment in the office vs the loud outside. If any dialog were to be recorded outside it would most likely take a lot longer than necessary. This is due to the noise coming from any bugs, dogs or passing cars. A lot of cars pass by my street even though it’s a dead end. I live on an island that is only accessible by bridges, so many cars go down my street thinking there is a little bridge.

The outside shots of my street will be for less serous events and be used for scenery, fights and any driving that will occur. Any fighting or altercations that aren't verbal will happen outside to keep the damage in my house at zero. We will also be using the sunset at the end of my street to give a late-night feeling to the movie. There will also be some outside shots of the interior of the house from different windows. The Purpose of this is to give any events in the office a specific effect that complies with the scene. For example: An over the shoulder shot through the window would indicate that what is being said is directed specifically at whomever in in the shot.
