Blog #3

Hi! Welcome to my third blog, the process of making a film if far more difficult than i thought it would be. When we finished scripting we felt ready to start filming, so we decided t go and film one scene to see how it went, and it was awful. At the beginning you see everything like a joke, so every action the character is doing you laugh or the character (actress) laughs, and the process becomes very difficult. You face problems such as that the lightning was not okay so everything is very dark or you are backlighting, or the camera starts shaking, or the voice is not well heard... etc. Today, we went to film to Manuela's house and everything we filmed became rubbish! We got interrupted, the character dint took the paper seriously, then we got problems with the setting and we didn't find it suitable and it was a complete mess and waste of time. After we had this terrible afternoon we thought it might be very useful to create a schedule which says in which part we are going to fail, what scene and with what props, in order to make our afternoon plans very efficient. We also decided to do an Instagram account to our movie, and we started following people from school for them to get informed about the hard work we are doing and to follow up our process. So when the movie is ready, people are waiting it with anxiety because they have seen the whole process so they want to see the final result. Besides this we want to show the techniques we used while filming, so the tools for our phones, including the fish eye, the pole to have a higher angle...etc.
