Reflecting for the 3rd time

Our film is coming along great.   Sam is doing some final touches on the editing.  We do not have any narration and some of our shots need to be redone.   Hopefully we will get it done soon.

This week I made the poster for our film.  It was a hard light shot of Ben smirking.  His face faded into the black background.  We took pictures and then I made the poster in photoshop.   Molly was unsure about the title 'The Boy with the Smirk' so she changed it to 'Fight of the Mind'.   I'm not really sure what the title is now, I'm fine with both.  I used 'Fight of the Mind' on the poster only because it was the title that Molly had chosen when the poster was made.  

Next week there really isn't much more to do.   I will help Sam with final edits and getting any last shots we need.  We will probably reshoot some shots to make the story clearer. 

Reflecting on filming part 2

1.Our film is coming along pretty well.  We still need to record our voice overs. Our rough cut looks pretty good so far, Sam has already done some simple color correction on it, but the plot won't make much sense until we get the voice overs in.
2.I have begun to work on the poster and I helped film the intro.
3.This week I will be editing the intro in class and working on a poster.
I wish I had more to say on this, but I do not.  Our film is coming along great.

Reflections on Filming of Things

Our film is progressing really well.  We have almost all of our scenes filmed.  It proved to be difficult to film the bus scene, so hopefully we will figure that out.   One of the challenges is that we are editing outside of school.  Editing outside of school in itself is not a challenge (it makes things easier, because we have more time to work on it) but it is challenging during class time because there is less we need to do. 

I helped with filming.  I was also a background actor in one of the shots, but I'm not sure if that really counts for anything. We also tried to figure out lighting for the poster picture.    I worked on creating different lighting for the various shots.   I also have done a lot of searching for sound effects.  I have found various sound clips (especially for neighborhood noise and doors closing and bus sounds).

Next week we need to continue to edit.  I will work on the poster (we are going to do a variety of designs and then choose) and then we will decide on one.

Our movie is pretty awesome, I think it has a really good story.
