Location Looking Production Blog

 Hello and welcome to my third production blog. I am delighted to announce that we have extremely easy access to three useful locations. To begin with, there is the mechanics' shop. Logan Dewar already works within an auto shop, which thereby makes this location very simple to access. We simply have to request a day when no actual work is being done, and film there. My and his manager are already on good terms. And, his worker (Logan) obviously is too. This space has many of the props we need within it as well, making it very convenient overall. Secondly, Logan's house is up for the taking. In a few weeks, his parents will be out of town. This removes any possibility of parental interference from taking place. So, the space is basically ours. We will use his bedroom, the kitchen, and the living room mostly. Finally, we will use the race track. Logan actually races here often. We have captured previous footage at this location also. It will prove very useful when we start our actual filming process. Overall, these locations will help us string our story together, and make it feel cohesive to the audience. It will feel real. It will feel visceral. It will be a heck of a movie.

Production Blog: Filming Franks Final Task

 Hello, and welcome to my fifth production blog. We have successfully filmed our final task project. Our filming took place mostly in a house garage. We had some outside scenes, but were not the main focus. These scenes mainly featured the drone. The outside scenes were generally thrilling, and were the most fast paced. My place was again behind the camera. I had to keep smooth movement consistent throughout. This can be difficult during high-action scenes. Being a camera-man can be difficult working with students, and some scenes had to be reshot. Additionally, being a camera-man is an almost directorial-like role in the film. I get to decide how some scenes are formatted within the film, and how they play out relating to the storyboard. It was very interesting filming the kidnapped scenes. The shooting styles throughout these scenes conveys a feeling of dread, that I tried to put on the camera. The drone scenes I assisted with, but the main flying was done by Logan. Remembering lines
