Location, location, location

I have decided to go with horror as my genre of choice for the film. I can definitely pull it off, and I have an idea on where to film it. There's a park near where I live, called Markham Park and thanks to Hurricane Irma, the forest in that park is all mangled up and dilapidated with trees knocked over and torn apart everywhere you look. Giving the forest a look that it's been abandoned and forgotten about, and has long since fallen into a state of decay.

The visual aspect of my video is going to be perfect inside that rotted forest. I can now see the shots for my intro. Of knocked over trees, broken branches, of possible wildlife. Having filmed in those woods in the past I know that audio shouldn't be a problem either. The forest is filled with natural sounds like birds singing, crickets chirping, and branches snapping. All coming together to help make the film more engrossing overall. I genuinely can't think of anything wrong with the location I've picked for my film.

Film Discussion Ver.2

Class today had its second feedback discussion about our foundation projects. It was pretty uneventful to be honest. The group I was in was small, comprised of just three people, myself included. We talked about our projects, how we're going to film the video, when we'll film and edit, etc. It never felt like nugget of previously unknown information had been brought to my attention, however this discussion did help me with one thing at least.  It reaffirmed my belief that I'm on track with the production of my video and that I'm standing on a solid foundation. Same for the other two members of my group. I came to that conclusion that  from  how none of us really had anything to add to the other's plans for production. We mostly just listened to each other's plans and agreed with how they planned their production. Which helped give me some confidence for filming the rest of my video this Saturday.

Film Discussion

My Media Studies class today had a class discussion to help us gauge our progress on our Foundation project/video. The class got split up into groups made up of people that aren't helping us in our projects. Each group being made up of about 5-7 people each. We listened to each other's plans for the project and gave advice and criticisms as to what their project was lacking and what to prepare for during the production phase. I would say that while my project has a solid vision and foundation to build off of, I still did learn a well of useful from the discussion. Like how I should consider a slow pace to build up the suspension for the beginning. Or how I should plan out the lighting since I'll be filming part of the video in the dark. And to record room audio of the outdoor noises to help improve the audio quality of the video. Needless to say, I gained important insight on how the production of the video should go.
