Rough Draft

The park has still not responded to me as to whether I can film in their park in the early dusk. Half the time I just end up going to their voice messaging system and the other half the time a person picked up, but wasn't really sure if the rules allowed me at early dusk. But I'm not really worried with the filming location for the time being. Reasons are that I doubt that they won't let me film in the park and that I have a backup if they do deny me entry to film. What I'm worried more about right now is how the story will go in the video.

The basic, rough draft I have for the premise is that two guys go camping in the woods for a short vacation. After they set up their camp for the night they go to sleep, but one of the campers soon finds himself waking up to a loud noise and his friend missing. Realizing that something is up, he makes a dash to his car but a masked figure catches up to him while he's running and is swiftly knocked out by the masked figure. He then wakes up, hands chained to a wall inside a small, sparse room. The rest of the movie after the opening scene would be about him trying to get the masked figure's lair.

I would say it definitely needs work, but that the general concept I have is a solid foundation for building the structure of the story for this video.

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.
