Production Blog: Extra Details

 Making my film takes a lot of planning and attention to detail. With a schedule of two shooting days, there is a lot of work to do to make sure everything runs smoothly. Here are some of the extra details I had to consider when planning my five-minute film. After I identified the specific locations I will be filming at, including both interior and exterior scenes I still had to work out the details. I first had to ensure that I have permission to film at each location and was in compliance with any local regulations. Next, I must consider the time of day I will be shooting each scene and plan accordingly. Make sure I have all the necessary equipment, including cameras, lighting, and sound equipment. Identify all the participants in my film and make sure they are available on the scheduled shooting days. Establish health and safety protocols to keep everyone on set safe and healthy. Provide personal protective equipment, such as masks and gloves, to all cast and crew members. Set up designated areas for individuals to stand or sit, and limit the number of people on set at one time to allow for social distancing. Regularly clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces and shared equipment. Encourage frequent handwashing and provide hand sanitizer throughout the set. Establish daily health screenings for all cast and crew members, including temperature checks. Have a first aid kit on all filming sites in case of an emergency. Ensure that all participants have the appropriate licenses to operate any vehicles used on set. Practice action scenes to ensure the safety of all members. Identify all the props needed for each scene, such as house and car keys, flashlights, and beer bottles. Determine the necessary costumes for each character, including police officer uniforms, hoodies, and casual and formal attire. Plan for backup locations in case of weather or other issues with the original filming site. Create backup plans for participants who may not be able to attend on the scheduled shooting days. Ensure that all necessary paperwork, such as permits and releases, is in order before filming begins.

   Today was our second day of filming on October 6th, 2021. Our group was excited to finish our Adidas commercial. Jade Walrave and I changed into our costumes before heading to our filming set. The track, our filming set, was not very busy so we began finding an area with good lighting to film our final scenes. The final scenes we needed to film was the action scene where Jade and I were in a head to head match. We first began by filming a low angle of me and jade running in order to show off the adidas brand cleats. After this we filmed a few of my shoes alone in order to get the perfect shot. Between filming each scene we would go back and review the scene in order to change anything wrong in it. We ended up re-filming the first scene around 5 times before capturing the correct shot. Next we grabbed orange cones to set up the “goal” for our shot. We began practice our blocking for the scene and making sure the angles were correct. It was difficult to originally figure out ...

  For my commercial assignment, I decided to pair with Jade Walrave, Ely Silverberg, and Mya Hauser.  For this commercial, I wanted to choose some of my peers with who I knew I was comfortable working with and filming with. I met Ely and Mya last year during my general paper class and we often worked on many group projects together. We always would finish our projects on time and we worked great together as a team. `I also met Jade last year during AICE Testing and she sat in front of me. We ended up becoming friends and hanging out the whole summer. After reviewing our schedules we discovered we had AICE Media together. I knew we would work well together as we already got along with each other outside of school. Together our group will function well because each member has their own specialty and skill set. Ely is good at concepts and creating a layout and design for each scene as well as the production as a whole. Mya is better at scriptwriting and is great at relating the s...
