Permission

I realized that while I know I can film in the park during the day, since I've done so in the past, I need to know if it's okay for my crew and I to film in Markham Park at night. This is the perfect location for me to film my shots in. Not only does it have the right atmosphere, (as previously stated) it's also close to where I live, which makes it convenient for my crew and I as far as traveling goes.

But the last thing I want is be halfway through filming and be told that I need to go somewhere else film. I'll give the park a call see if we're allowed film at night or not. For the time being, I think I have a decent plan B if it comes down to it. There's a small clearing with a couple of trees inside my neighborhood, that would be okay to film in. However, it would definitely be downgrade from my original vision.

Went Filming

Today I started filming and unfortunately, I didn't finish like I had originally hoped. I've managed to film plenty of short videos in a single day. I thought it was fairly reasonable that I could do the same for this video. It didn't help that I have been feeling sick for the past two days. Not only was I feeling miserable, audio was a major pain too. The camera mic had a hard time picking up the dialogue clearly, causing an end result of the clips being hard to hear. I'm not proud of many of my static shots either. The entire production was a three-man job being done by a two man crew. If a third crew member had been there the entire production would've improved substantially. That third crew member would've held up a boom mic while my friend and I acted. Or he would've helped with camera movement and framing in the middle of recording. The good news is that I did manage to get a second friend to be that third crew member to assist me on this video.

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.
