Preparing to film

 

Actors

The actors in our film opening are four group members: Nestor, Emily, Leon, and Anabel. Emily, Leon, and Nestor are the main actors who will be on camera mostly. I will play the police officer and then one of the protagonists as two separate characters. It's easy to film with each other since we are close and can communicate easily.

Costumes

Our costumes are mostly regular outfits that you'd see teenagers wearing(Shorts, t-shirts, sneakers). Another would be a police officer one in the beginning.

Props

The props in our film are a locket that contributes to the plot. Our prop was easy to acquire since we could order it online.

Locations

We will film in a dark woody area that has tall overlooking trees. The second location takes place in an abandoned building that's run down and decrepit. A challenge with the first location is timing and lighting. If we go too late it might be too dark to film. In the abandoned building lighting might also be an issue.

Dates and Times

Our films would be easiest to film on weekends. We could all meet up around 4:30 or earlier so the lighting is dark but enough to see in. The problem with this is coordinating between group members. Sometimes a person is too busy and we won’t be able to film.

Scripts

The script has been made and each actor has their own lines and roles. I will be playing as the officer and as one of the protagonists along with the other actors.

Film equipment

Film equipment being used is a phone camera to record the shots and a drone to record the setting.
