Filming Blog: Bad Weather

     Our group planned to film last Saturday. We cleared our schedules and were ready to begin shooting. Unfortunately, it was raining in the afternoon to evening when we were scheduled to film. We thought we could still get together and film but, voted against it when most scenes are outside or need specific lightening from the outside. We felt it would be hard to replicate conditions from certain inside shots to the following outside shot without filming those scenes continuously on one day. We decided to reschedule for the following Sunday.

      In the meantime, we will work out every planning detail for the shoot. We proceeded to create a supply list for the group. We each contributed suggestions for the the list. This included props, special effect supplies, and outfit changes. We then put our names next to the items that we would personally bring to the shoot. Us girls also thought of how to change looks with minimal makeup and outfit changes. We planned for that in our personal packing lists.
     This weather was a setback for a prompt start in our movie shooting. We hope to make a large advancement in progress this weekend. We also feel it could be helpful to edit along the way of filming. So, each scene we filmed we could finish editing. Then each chunk could be added together to the following scene. I feel this could be a great strategy for time saving when editing. In addition, we could easily re-shoot and re-edit certain chunks then add it back to the complete film.
