Filming Again!

 Today, Violet Parker and I filmed. Dara is unfortunately out of town. So since she is one of our main actors, we filmed the remainder of the scenes we needed that she was not in. This scene was the scene where Parker is seen cleaning blood off of the floor. This scene is really important to get right because it is the scene where our viewers realize Parkers sinister acts as a town killer. We face-timed Dara so she could help us film the scene from afar.

The first thing we needed to do was make the blood. Violet and I found a recipe for it online. We sent it to Parker so she could start making it. It consisted of dish soap and food coloring. We were a little skeptical at first, but after Parker made it we were happy to see it looked pretty good! After that we were ready to film. We really wanted to get this in one take. That way we wouldn't have to keep making and cleaning up blood. We practiced a few times with no blood to make sure it would be perfect. Violet and I were working on finding the perfect angle and way to film. Then we finally filmed. Parker poured a lot of the fake blood on the ground and got onto her knees to clean it up. We filmed an over the shoulder shot so viewers can really see what she is doing. Im very excited to edit this clip later.

Changes Made from Film Review

 Today we spent our time making changes to our film. We based these changes off of our previous film review. Coach Jamie had pointed out important things for us to improve on. The main thing she had mentioned was that a few of our scenes were too dark. Lighting wise that is. Upon filming this originally, we thought we were being clever with the dark lighting. This was not the case. We ended up going a little overboard and it turned out to be too dark for viewers. After Coach Jamie pointed it out, we realized she was very right. So, we re-filmed all of the inside scenes with much better lighting. We filmed the scenes with two actors at Dara's house. This took a little while because we were laughing a lot, it's hard to be serious when your friends aren't exactly actors. We eventually became more serious though, and got the clips we needed. After that we had to re film the scene of Parker cleaning up fake blood from the floor. The only problem was, we had run out of dish soap!

Coach's Review

     Today we sent our movie to our soccer coach. Violet, Parker and I are all on the same team, so we thought Coach Jamie would be a good person to send it too. The movie isn't completely done yet, but we thought it would be good to get a second opinion now, so we can fix anything we need to before moving on. We picked Coach Jamie because we trust her. She is very honest, and she knows how important this project is. If she sees anything wrong with it, she would let us know. Once we sent it to her and she watched it, she responded saying she was really impressed. This was something we were all very happy to hear.      She did offer us some suggestions though. Although she said our work was very good so far, she gave us a few tips as a viewer. She said that the lighting in the beginning of the video was a little weird. Maybe even too dark. We were surprised at this, because we had thought the lighting was fine. We had dimmed the lights to make the scene more eerie and creepy. We jus
