Filming Blog: The Film Location

 

The big day came of us finally deciding where we would film. We know how we want our shots but the location is the current issue. Our main place where most of the shots going to take place is going to be at Lucas's place. Lucas's place is the most ideal for our group since it's located near our place and has the most space between all of us in the group. Also within his house, is where we recorded the first time around, and personally, I can imagine the different scenes play out within his house. Most of the storyboard was based on his house. The room layout, and the house too. As most of the spots where I want to record are going to be in the dark we are going to see whether we should set up the lighting and if it fits the atmosphere we are going for. As his house is near the beach we are planning to see if there's a way we can incorporate a restaurant or an alleyway near that area since I feel like the shine from the moon nearing the end of the final task would look good. The moon does hold significance to the plot and want it to show through the filming process. Another thing is at the restaurant. We still haven't decided on where to go for that part of the filming process as we still haven't asked for permission to record within their restaurant. With that, we don't know if we want to record in a cafe or in a proper restaurant. If anything doesn't come our way then will record at a McDonald's. We still gotta find a way to record the ending shots. We don't really have a rig to help us get the wanted shots of the car driving around the streets with the close-ups. If anything we can just get the shots filmed from the the inside. But this wouldn't build up the suspension like I would like to. This is the final stretch before we can finally begin to start recording. The only issue is our schedules.
