Planning for Day 2 of Filming.

Today is Tuesday, December 22nd and today my group and I discussed the possibility of a second day of filming. As per usual, a slight recap of the progression of our film is necessary. First of all, we have completed  a basic script and storyboard outlining the overall plot sequence of our film. This has proven to be a great aid in the production process as we do not have to come up with scene pitches, but rather have our planning to fall back onto. The next step that we completed in the production process was our first day of filming. On that Friday morning we were able to complete all of the opening scene, the car rolling shots, and a significant portion of the first scene. This first scene involves mostly the main characters descending on the house for their vacation. They lay out their stuff and begin to get settled. Despite this reality, when they turn on the news they learn of a shocking virus that has begun to infect the world. However, much of that scene, such as the characters turning on the television, was incomplete due to schedule complications. For instance, I had to leave at 2:00 to go home and help my family with an ongoing situation and later travel to Miami. 

Back to the purpose of today’s blog, those schedule complications left us slightly behind schedule, and we still needed to film. Even our schedule had outlined us to begin full on editing of the film, and only re shooting next week. However, this obviously just did not work for our group. Appropriately, we once again held a Group FaceTime call to discuss possible limitations for when we could film. Some key factors brought up were scheduling at work, Christmas Eve and Day, and New Years Eve and Day. However, we all agreed on either Tuesday or Wednesday to film continue filming the first scene. In addition we also plan on filming the third scene, which involves the characters learning about the scientific breakthrough with a vaccine. We plan on filming from 2-4 and this would have us almost 75% with the production end of the film.
