 Everyone, I did it again! That’s right, my team and I was able to meet up and finish filming. My plans went exactly how I expected them to go. We were all free of activities and school on Monday meaning my brother was able to drop me off by Nandika’s house and start production. In my previous blog I mentioned how we already filmed almost half of the film. This consisted of the car and outdoor scenes, mainly being dialogue between the characters. This left us with more than enough time to film the rest of the film. I began the continuation of the scenes from inside of my teams house. I decided that it was best to use their entrance door, living room, and bedrooms for the settings. The lighting throughout the house is not significantly bright which made the fit for my thriller genre perfect. Lighting tends to be a little dismal and dramatic. The first scene was myself walking through the door abruptly attempting to locate where the mafia was. I ran throughout the house and entered t...

      What's up, its been a minute! So, in my last blog I talked about how one of my main actors, Nandika went on a trip out of the country. If you were wondering if she has finally came back the answer is yes. That only could mean one thing then, we filmed today! I am back into my regular schedule with minor tweaks. Filming was an overall success. We were able to film half of the short film and to leave the rest for another filming day. We filmed about 5 different scenes. By the time I started filming it was already night time which was perfect for the plot and scenery for the film. Firstly, I filmed the car scene. This was dialogue between the two mafia members about their suspect named Marcus. I went into the trunk of their van and recorded an over the shoulder shot which came out better than expected. Ajayesh and Vjayesh did great as actors in this half, they put on a heavy Caribbean accent which added more emphasis to the scene The next scene that I filmed was with N...

    Sooo, it is me again. As you may know from my planning blog, today was supposed to be my scheduled film day. Based off the title I am sure you can already tell that I was not able to film today with my actors. I know I know, now it is getting repetitive but I can explain. From my last blog I mentioned that Nandika is going to be in Trinidad for a week. The issue with this is that, she is one of the main actors as well as me using her house as the filming space. Fortunately, she wont be gone for long, about a week. This still leaves me plenty of time to still plan and film. Although, this means that both of the originally desired filming dates have been compromised. With bad news always comes good news. She will be coming back on February 15th in which we are both available to film the day after, the 16th which is a Friday. I have checked in with the other actors and the designated videographer and that date is looking promising.      I know it might have bee...

What is going on! Right now, I am trying to organize all my actor’s schedules and meet up at Nandika's house. We will be able to film majority, if not all my clips there. Although, the thought of everyone being free on a certain date may sound easier than the true reality. My actors all attend to university and still must prioritize their schoolwork extracurricular activities with their daily life duties. With their packed school schedules, everyone has classes at different times and dates which makes it harder to plan one day or two for all dedicated to filming. Not only does it make it difficult for my friends but, its also my responsibility to balance school and my daily life. My car is currently in the shop meaning that I would have to get either Ryan my brother, or my parents to drop me off by my friend’s house to film. Fortunately for me, my brother gets off at school at around 4:30 p.m. which leaves me the entire day to travel to Nandika's house and begin the filming pro...

    Hey, what's going on! I cannot wait to start filming. As you may know by now, I will have some friends to participate as actors in my short film. This means that I will have a desired camera person to get all of the designated and desired shots for this film. As of today, I have contacted them and let them know what roles they will take in the shooting of this film. I have made it clear to them how each scene will take place and what is going to go down in them. Although, scheduling for this filming process is may be a little difficult. My actors and I schedules look very different from each other. Due to school, and other extra curricular activities it is difficult to even find time for oneself. We are still settled on our desired date to film. However, I will be creating back-up plans and dates just incase we run into any obstacles on that date. When I was in AS level creating my film I found that working in a group does not always go as planned, especially in terms of s...

                  

   Hello!! Time to begin scheduling for this film. To recap, my film will be about people on the mafia conducting business deals when suddenly one of their members are kidnapped. It is now the mafias job to retrieve one of their members, when unknowingly the kidnapped member is against them the entire time.      Yet a simple plot, but makes for an interesting plot twist. This will leave viewers puzzled at the end and at the edge of their seat throughout there viewing experience. To accomplish this, I will have the help from some of my friends and family. We plan to use their rooms and house as it has dismal lighting for opening scenes and so on.       When recording these scenes it is important to take precautionary measures before and after hand. I will provide hand sanitizer, cleaning wipes specifically for the props, etc. There is not any extreme circumstances that we will be threatened under so no need to worry we are and I will ensure th...
