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

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.

Response

Markham Park finally gave me a response when I called them again today. Good news is that everything can now go as planned. I can now just confirm things with my friend on filming. My idea is to film during Spring Break on a day that I don't have family plans. After looking at my script a second time I'd say that I should be able to film the entire video in a single day.
