Week of May 29th

            This week we’re making a lot of progress.  We decided that we needed to film something in class, so that we can constantly work on something even when we don’t have any film to edit.  So, we picked something easy and relatable: a comedy based on how NOT to pass film class.  The idea is comedy gold, and since we already know how NOT to pass film, it’ll be a walk in the park.  Moreover, we finished shooting our first film yesterday afterschool.  All we need now is to edit that last bit and keep it in time with the song and then we can turn it in.  Then with Brandon’s film, and the one we’re filming in class, we can have all three of our films finished.

Week of May 22nd

            We’ve been facing several setbacks this week.  In between people skipping film shoots for other projects and having to work or go to a prior arrangement, we haven’t been able to film at all.  We have, however, edited everything we have so far.  The film is coming out nicely and I look forward to adding in the last few scenes.  If we could just get a good day to film, we should be able to knock out the last part fairly quickly.  The only problem is finding a decent time and getting all the props together.  These are small logistic problems, but we’ve had worse, it is pretty stressful though.

Week of May 15th

            We are slowly piecing together our film.  We’ve been running into several complications as far as timing and trying to schedule when we meet.  AP’s have been taking up a lot of our time, but now that they are done, we should have a lot more time to work.  Our film is more than 50% underway and now we just need a few more shots.  Most of our trouble is coming from props and getting everything ready beforehand.  It’s happened too many times where we are at our location, all ready to film, everything is set up, and we realize we’re missing a prop or someone is running late.  Every little complication has a huge impact on our schedule, but we’re close, almost done.

Week of May 8

            This week we didn’t get as much done as we thought.  With AP tests coming up its getting harder and harder to get everyone together in one place to plan out what we’re going to do.  Luckily, the tests will all be over soon and we will be able to film more.  Brandon is making progress with his film and we are about halfway through getting the footage for my film idea.  Editing is proving to be more difficult on the updated iMovie, but we should get everything down in a few days.  We are going to film today, get everything over with as soon and as well as possible and try to move on to our next project.

Week of May 1st

            This week, we started work on our newest film project.  We don’t have a name for it yet, but by now we already have a script done and we’re working on a storyboard as well.  We went filming yesterday, and although it didn’t really go as planned, we still made quite a lot of progress.  We should be able to work out the kinks for our next film session and by then we can be more organized and get more done.  We filmed for a total of about 45 minutes, but were figuring out how to film for another 45.  We wasted time, but still have a lot of really good shots to show for it.
