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.

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.

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.
