Planning

  


Schedule: 

2/17 - 2/20 - During these dates the filming will begin. We will attempt to separate the days of filming with the scenes that are nearest to each other. This will be most convenient and speed up the pace of our movie production. 

2/21 - 2 /24 - The editing will begin immediately after filming is done. We will be arranging our film and putting all of the scenes together on CapCut. 

2/27 - 2/28 - For these dates, we will be adding sound to the movie including voiceovers if necessary, refining diegetic sound, and adding ambient sound. 

3/1 - 3/3 - We will be deciding which fonts to use, where to place the titles, and decide on how to name them.  

3/4 - 3/6 - Throughout these dates, the finishing touches and decisions will be made. 

 

Location: 

- Target 

- Starbucks Café 

- Galleria Mall (H&M) 

- Lili’s House and sidewalk near 

- Las Olas Boulevard - “Asia Bay” 

- Parking Garage 

- Outdoor Parking Lot 

 

Participants: 

Filming: Angie, Aleiah, Brianna (Hannah’s Sister) 

Actors: Angie (aka Camila), Lili (aka Chloe), Aleiah (aka Grace), Hannah (aka Rachel) 

Editing: Lili, Angie, Hannah, Aleiah 

Directing: Aleiah, Angie, Hannah, Lili 

 

Health and Safety: 

- In the last scene where the car will be “lit up on fire”, we will not use real fire. We do not want to have cause for concern for fires. For the group’s safety, we will do a close-up of Chloe’s eyes and make it seem as if she were looking at the explosion. 

- Our group will have a first aid kit and known adults nearby just in case there are any health concerns. 

- For the fighting scene, both of our actors (Lili and Hannah) will be trained by Judo professionals to create this scene as safely as possible. The actors will wear long sleeves and long pants, not exposing any skin to ensure they do not acquire any scabs and Hannah - “Rachel's head will be protected by a neck protecting position. Her chin will be pointing down and she will pretend it hits the ground after the fall.  

 

Props: 

- Sunglasses 

- Clothes (H&M) 

- Bulletin board 

- Manila folders 

- Lighter fluid (Bottle filled with water) 

- Matches 

- Coffee 

- Store-bought food products 

- Car 

 

Costumes: 

Hannah: mostly black casual clothing, workout clothes but darker colors 

Lili: nice bright clothes, should be brightest out of friend group, casual clothes, workout outfit  

Aleiah & Angie: any type of casual clothing, not as bright as Lili’s, but not black 

 

Back up plans: 

- In case we need to add more scenes to make up for missing time, we will produce another scene where Rachel is again stalking Chloe at an arcade where she is hanging out with her friends. 

- In case it rains, we will need prioritize indoor scenes, and film the remaining outdoor ones another time.  
- If unable to film on 2/17 - 2/20 weekend, then we will film on the next free weekend

Final Task

Image
    Finally, the video is done. I would've never thought that making a 2 minute movie would be this hard. I really had to use all the skills I learned throughout the year for the project to turn out how it did. However, the experience itself was a mix between stressful and fun. There were many unexpected twists and turns. From spring break to travel plans and just general bumps in the road. Almost everything that could go wrong did. But there were also  good moments where we were able to come together have fun and film. In these moments everyone got to showcase their individual filming and movie skills. Overall, the process behind this movie was crazy, hectic, but also really fun. I can't wait for you guys to see it!

Short Film Research: Checkpoint/Thriller

  Regarding the camera angles, movements and shots, this short film has plenty of them. For instance, it includes a three-shot, showing the family members in the car, to make the audience familiar with them and somewhat get attached. Moreover, it also contains a wide shot, showing the famil y’s environment to show the audience where it takes place, and to enhance the fact that there is no one else besides them and the officers. Additionally, the tracking shot of the dad getting into the car is being used to highlight his emotions. Finally, it includes a low angle of the officer that makes him seem superior and overpowerin g.   When it comes to sound, this short film uses dialogue, to build a conflict between the family and the officers, which helps reach the climax. Another type of sound is incidental, which strongly enhances suspense and drama to make the audience feel on the edge of their seats. Additionally, the ambient sounds present play a huge role when it comes to t...

Short Film: Thriller

  The movie contains a lot of hand-held shots along with two-shots. For instance, there was a scenario where the protagonist was having a realization that something was off with a women's husband.  It documented the manner the man was looking around cautiously and worried.  These specific shots can be used to show the audience what is happening in the action as it is happening and to simply illustrate the movements of the characters. The utilization of cutaway shots was also common. For instance, the protagonist woke up and the shots cut from him to a man making breakfast demonstrating his alertness. Cutaway shots are used to create tension and suspense. These shots are quick glimpses of something that is not immediately relevant to the main action of the scene, but that adds to the overall feeling of unease and uncertainty. By showing brief glimpses of something that is not immediately explained, the director creates a sense of anticipation and uncertainty. This can make...
