Week 3: First Day on Set

 

                                                                   First Day on Set 


    Hey guys! I have a few updates for you, as you know we started the shoot of Panik and heres how things went!

    First off, we started shooting around 7:30. As you know this is going to be a horror movie therefore we need to shoot at night to give that vibe. So my two friends, Kain and Nick came over to begin the shoot. In the beginning I was having trouble working the camera since this is my first time ever actually using one. After I tweaked with some of the settings I set it up on the gimbal, plugged in the mic to my phone, and began filming. Initially we were going to film scene by scene so it doesn't become confusing however that quickly changed. We thought it would be easier if we get the phone scenes done with since they're going to be a close up shot of the phone anyway. 

    Once we finished the phone scenes we started to film a couple of scenes with Nick acting. I was very nervous to see how this would play out considering he has never acted before but to my surprise he did very good! The scenes we shot were very basic and we only got a couple of them because it was getting late. A couple of things I found challenging were, focusing the camera, and pressing record for the mic to pick of the audio as I am filming. I need to do a little research on how to focus the camera properly because it did not want to cooperate with us during the shoot. 

    Overall, I think the first day wasn't terrible considering it was my first time ever professionally filming something. We knocked out the scenes with Kain and the phone scenes so I think it was a success! I will be filming more tonight!

Week 2: Story Board

  Story Board      Hey guys! I wanted to give you guys a little preview of my story board and upcoming things you should be excited about. First, we already have our film date set which is 2/21/26! Yes that's right!!! In exactly two days we will start the filming process. This means that the movie should be done sooner then anticipated which is always a plus. The editing process is going to be a whole other story because I still have to learn a bunch of thing with the program I will be using. Anyway, this little story board should give you guys an idea on what my project is going to look like.       Here is just a rough draft of what my film would look like, (don't mind my horrible drawing). If you break down each scene you can see how I tried to implement as much suspense as possible. I am really excited about the scene where the audience sees from the antagonists POV, that's going to be really fun to edit. I already have tones of ideas about the...
