Practice Run

Hi friends I know it's been since I last updated but it's been a crazy couple of days lately since it's spring break and all. But regardless we have been hard at work. So, on Tuesday I came back from vacation and on Wednesday we meet in my partner's house Isabella where we plan to use to dad's den as the psychiatrist office. Today what we did is we came up with a schedule as how we were going to shoot and were we are going to be placing the lightening, etc. We did this to make sure everything went flawless when we recorded and to make sure we had more than enough time to shoot everything. Here we also practice shoot some scenes to make sure they were coming out the way we wanted them to. overall we were pretty content with how everything was coming out and were starting to get really excited for our final creation.

Yesterday, we did the same thing in my other partner's house where we were going to use her kitchen to shoot the scene of the argument. this for me was probably going to be the most difficult because we wanted to play with lightening here a lot and create a yellow shadow throughout this protion of the film. Luckily for us it wasn't all that difficult for us because Sofia's brother has a studio light which we then put an orange sheet protect over it so we can create that yellow shadow. Here are some examples of what we want to create.










Here we tried to reenact some of the scenes sort-of-ish (clearly neither me nor Isa have a career in acting) but regardless I was really proud of how it was coming out.

So like I explained earlier we have been playing with our equipment a bit to make them more functionally as to how we need it. So for the mic we already had a regular mic that connected to the camera but yesterday we were able to use part of a vacuum to create a sort of boom mic to be used to our advantage. This is how it turned out.


But that wasn't our only diy project. Because Sofia, my group member, always had one tripod except there was a small issue with that being we only had one and that was being utilized by the lightening. So luckily Sofia's brother saw you how you can create a stabilizer this is sort off like a tripod and what we liked about it is that we can move it so this will come exceptionally handy for a pan scene we want to create. This is how it came out.



Overall I can't wait for us to start filming and to share this process with you.
