Brink of completion

 Today I finished my editing process completely. Only need to add a few more details and it'll be complete. I am also going to ask some people for advice, including those from my class, and those who helped me with the characters. Once I get the feedback and take it into consideration, it should be complete. 

Pain of editing

Today I began editing, and I was going to post an update of how it is all going so far, but... there was an accident. My wifi went out at home and the footage was not saved so recently since it was just opened, and all of the editing was gone except for the footage that was already in place. I am using adobe premire pro to edit the footage together and using some small cuts and little edits such as dip to black for some transitions. I have more editing to do, and since the footage before was lost I cannot put the progress. Tomorrow I will give a full update of the project so far.

Reshoot

 Today I had to reshoot some scenes due to camera issues, and audio quality, it was very frustrating to fit into the scehdule but in the end I made it work. I had other ideas to work on today, but this reshoot had to be done so it was extremely important. In the end I had to work extra hard and will post full progress tomorrow of everything I worked on tomorrow as well.

Progress...

     Everything went good this week with filming, and I got to talk with some friends about the topic. I recieved a lot of help and I was able to see what I can do. However an issue did occur, which I will discuss on tomorrows post in order to explain it further, and to officially find an answer to the issue as well. This issue is not a big deal, but does have to be resolved with. 

Cameras on set!

     The first two days of filming went excellent. The cast knew what they were doing what to say and it was perfect. There was one area that troubled me and i beleieve I need to look into it, but overall it went fantastic and I think we won't need any reshoot days so far. Hopefully the other days continue as well. All we are missing is the final scene where it'll be a shot counter shot type, and to try and see any shots that were missing or anything that may help in editing. 

What's my line?

     Today was the day I officially finished the screenplay. I had many variations of it and none of them seemed to work out. I had to modify it a couple of times but I finally finished it, especially since filming was about to begin. I am going to start filming tomorrow, and I'm so excited to begin. There are many shots that I am so happy and excited to try out. Hopefully, it all goes well tomorrow and other days. 

Here's a sneak peek at some lines I had added to my screenplay so far. 

Lights on set!

  Representation is a key aspect of this film opening. It has to be established that this family has a mafia-type family style. The main ways to do this are:

-Color

-Costume

-Set

-Lighting

Lighting is what I will discuss today. Lighting will help for everything, it will make sure that the color, costume design, and set pop out. Since I will have various colors into the theme I need to come up with a main lighting and color tone that I can fit the rest of the colors into to fit the overall theme. The main colors I want is going to be orange, brown, black, and red. The other colors that will need to be used to fit have to be yellow, or light yellow in this case, white possibly, and also some purple areas as well. I will mainly focus on using lighting from the house and windows rather than a light kit, however, I will have one on standby with yellow and white filters.
