Planning Details

Location 

Because our scenes take place in different settings, we have two main filming locations. Our first one will be Dara's house. We will film the first and last few scenes in this setting, varying between different rooms and areas of her home. The second location will be a downtown area of the city we live in. This will be for the scenes that take place in around the middle of our script. Where our two main characters meet up. This location is flexible and will allow us to achieve multiple angles and shots.

Participants

The only participants of this production will consist of our current group members. Dara Sedaka, Parker Merrick, Violet Roberts and Siena Pancera. We will all take part in different jobs to get it all done.

Health

We are taking different precautions to ensure everyones safety throughout filming. We all are taking covid tests prior to filming. As well as having adult supervision when handling the knives, and when going downtown. This way we will establish a safe environment to shoot scenes.

Schedule

Filming Day One: March 21st.

Filming Day Two: March 22nd. 

Editing Days: March 24th-March 28th.

We have planned to film over spring break, over the course of two days. On the first day, we will be at daras house, filming all of the scenes that take place there. On the second day, we will be downtown filming the remainder of the scenes. After these days we will see the clips and see if we need to film any more, if we do, we will have time left during the break. 

Backup Plan

We have multiple options for if anything goes wrong during the process. If for any reason we cannot film at Dara's house, then we will go to Parkers instead. And if for any reason we cannot go downtown, we will  use Violets backyard. Our two filming days can be easily rescheduled throughout spring break, as we have a 10 day time-frame. Any of our parents are willing to step in for supervision, so we will be able to film any scene at any time as well.

Film review

     Today we sent our video today my soccer coach. The video isn't done yet, but I thought it would be smart to send what we have to someone so they can critique it. I trust that my coach will give us an honest review of our video. She wouldn't lie just to spare our feelings. Once we sent it to her she said she was impressed. I was really happy about this.       She did say that she had some suggestions. In the beginning of the video, she thought that the lighting was a little weird. I was pretty surprised at this. My coach said that she thought the lighting was too dark. We purposely made the lighting dark because we wanted it to be more eerie. It didn't occur to me that the lighting could be too dark and hard to see. That was her main critique. She complimented the blood and said it looked realistic. I guess the dish soap worked pretty well! I am grateful for her feedback and am looking forward to fixing our mistake.     Tomorrow we are going to get together and re film

Some more filming

 Today we had our second day of filming. Siena, Violet, and I were filming. We were short on time today, so we decided to only film the first scene of me cleaning up the blood and putting away the knives. I suggested we facetime Dara, who wasn't available to film with us. This was she could still offer advice without being there.  The first thing I did was make the blood. I am using dish soap and red food dye. I mixed about a quarter cup of dish soap with the 2 drops of red food dye and it looked pretty good! I poured it on the floor and we started to film. I got on my hands and knees and with a rag started to clean it up. Violet and Siena were filming with an over the shoulder shot, so I tried to not move my head too much to avoid getting it in the screen. Once or twice it did, but we will just cut that out later. After filming this part, I wanted to film the putting away knives scene. I made sure to be very careful when handling the knives as to avoid any possible accidents. This

Storyboard

Slide one: In this opening clip, we will have two students in frame. Using a full body shot, one is standing with a smoothie in their hand and the other is briskly walking right towards them. In the background you can see the stairs behind the students. The actor walking will not be paying attention.  Slide two: In the second slide, the two students collide and the kid with a smoothie spills it on themselves. The one with no smoothie continues walking, and the one who spilled pauses for a moment. They try to clean themselves off and fail. They are visibly annoyed. The character on the stairs behind them witnesses this encounter. Slide three: In this we see our student with smoothie all over them, defeated. They reach into their backpack for a piece of gum. They open the gum and throw the wrapper over their shoulder behind them, aiming for the trash. The wrapper misses and falls next to the trash can. In the background we can see someone reach the bottom of the stairs. Slide four: T
