Nice Gal

     Hey guys! So I had previously called the park where shooting will take place, where I spoke with one of the managers who told me to email her what I planned to use their entry booth for and when. However, she never replied to my email. For that reason, when we went earlier today to the park, I was only going with hopes that the person working at one of the booths that day was willing to cooperate with me and help me out to capture the scene.
     To my luck, the girl working at the booth was incredibly nice and agreed to help me out. She didn't just say the lines that I asked her to say, but she also did them multiple times until I had captured the best clip for the scene. When filming, she did a great job, as she said the lines clearly and behaved in a natural way as if there wasn't a girl sticking half of her body out of a car window with a phone recording her. In addition to that, she let me and the other car that was with me enter the park for free! I don't believe that there is a nicer worker at that park.

     Since the scene was relatively short, I don't want to give it all away by placing the whole clip in here for you guys, but I still want to show her. So, here is an image of her:


     Next, I have to look over the shots that we did film t the park and choose the parts that work the best for the film. 
Until then, Mafe.

Filming At My House

Image
     Hey guys! As you may have noticed from the title of the post, I finally managed to film the shots that I needed inside of my house. In here, the first shot that we started to film was the one were Lucia, playing Jackie, was marking up the calendar to show that they were going on a camping trip. For this shot, we had to film it around 15 times before we actually captured the perfect one. Since she was marking the calendar with a sharpie, we had to get that one shot right in one go, which is why we had practiced so much to make no mistakes. Here is a clip:      In this shoot, we had a little trouble with time. Because we started filming after we ate dinner and we had ran so many practice shots along with placing the props, when we captured the actual shot, it was already dark outside; I wanted it there to be daylight to show that they had woken up to go for the camping trip in the morning. Nevertheless, that wasn't possible anymore, but this cou...

Editing

     Hey guys! After choosing the shots that I was going to use, I started to place them in the order that I was thinking of (you can see that order in my previous post displaying my Storyboard). Now, all I had to do was edit them so that they can flow together smoothly.      For the editing, I used an app called imovie on a friends apple computer, since my computer had recently broke. In here I was having trouble with the audio and quality of the resolution of the shots taken with the drone. I didn't realize before that all the shots taken with the drone were extremely blurry and had no audio, if I had known before, I wouldn't of had used that drone specifically and if anything, a drone at all! What's the point of capturing a great shot, if it is blurry? Unfortunately for me, it is too late to redo those shots because of timing and because my actors are not available anymore. Thus, I tried my best to try to give it a higher resolution by asking google, ye...

American Sign Language

     Hey guys! As you may know, the main character of my film will be deaf. For that reason, I will have to add subtitles on the parts of my film where the characters sign to each other, that way the viewer may be able to understand what the characters are saying. There is not one type of sign language understood worldwide, for that reason, I will be using American Sign Language (ASL). This is a complete language that employs signs made by moving the hands combined with facial expressions and postures of the body. American Sign Language however, is the primary language of many North Americans who are deaf or hard-of-hearing. Because I do not know ASL, I have asked one of my friends Irene Mejia, who has been learning ASL for over three years now, to help me learn how to do the signs necessary that I will use in the film. She sent me this video of her doing it:       With this video, my actors will know how to properly sign when the time ...
