Filming blog: Why I didn't film

As I mentioned in my other blog, I wasn't able to film last weekend. I wasn't able to film because I had an important meeting to attend. The meeting was going over what I was going to do in Tallahassee. I have to speak in front of 200 representatives about something that matters to me. So I spent the rest of my weekend writing the speech, and revising it. I leave Wednesday the 26th of February. And I return Friday the 28th of February. I'm going to start filming this weekend. I'm also going to try and edit it a little before the peer review. Me and my actors don't have anything to do this weekend so it's a good time to do it.
I want to film Saturday the 29th and depending on the time I finish filming. I may edit that night or Sunday the 1st. If I start filming around 3:00 in the afternoon I may be finished around 7:00. If that is how it happens, I will edit for about an hour and finish editing Sunday. But, i'm not positive that is how it's going to happen. A lot of things can change, like the timing and location of actors. But I have back up plans. If I can't edit the Sunday I will edit the monday, tuesday, or/ and wednesday. I just have to make sure it's done before Thursday the 5th. I will most definitely have my filming done by this weekend.

Filming blog

In this blog I would be talking about how my filming went. But I didn't get the chance to film. I didn't film because my actress couldn't have done it. She couldn't do it that weekend because it was a family member's birthday. So I turned this weekend into my weekend to catch up/ do work. I worked on my blogs. I went back and fixed the ones I did. And I finished the ones I didn't finish. I also took breaks to do other work, like Math and History. I plan on filming next weekend. Me and my actors are available.

I won't be able to do it this weekend because I have an important meeting. The meeting is about girls day at the capital. Girl day at the capital is a group of  girls that go to Tallahassee to learn more about women's history. We'll be going to museums and Colleges. The meeting is so important because it goes over procedures, what we need. It also goes over Chaperones and rest stops and all of that. At the meeting they'll tell us what is expected from us and how we should dress. They'll also let us know the consequences.
But my plans for when I do film is to go to the actors house. First we're going to go over the dialogue. Then we're going to have a test run of how everything should be positioned. Then we are going to shoot multiples times. So if one doesn't look good we have others. Then we are going to take a couple of breaks to eat and get something to drink. And then go over any suggestions they have. After I'm going to go home. I'm going to try and get some editing done.

Planning blog: Dialogue

In this blog I talk about what may be said. I have the music and sounds listed in there too for a reference. This is not how it's going to be exactly but this is just a guide line. This blog goes hand in hand with my script blog. That's how I knew where to put the dialogue for the scenes. There will be more sounds that wasn't mentioned in the power point. Like ambient sounds and sound tracks.

Planing blog: shooting script

In this blog I'm posting my scenes. How everything that is going to be done and the order of things. There may be changes in certain parts of the script. But for now this is how I want it to be. But to go further in depth about what's in the power point; the power point consists of the actions of the actors and some of the edits. For example I mention how there is a insert shot. I also mentioned how the girls were walking to the park, that's an example of actions i put in there.
