  Hey Everyone! I have finished with filming and I am here to let you guys know about my journey! First off, I want to give thanks to every single person who helped make this film possible. I am proud of how it turned out and how the editing went. The editing went smoothly and I am thankful for that. Luckily the filming only took about two days! I thought it would originally take a lot longer than that, so I'm glad it didnt take that long, because I know my mom (who is my main character) has a very tight schedule and I did not want to interfere with that. I was lucky and did not have to change anything in my script. However, I ran into one problem, every time I was going to film my opening scene there would be no rain. So, I had to brainstorm and with the help of my actors, we came up with the idea of using a hose to give the effect of rain. We did have to wait until it got dark enough out to give the effect of a stormy morning. Other than my opening scene, I did not run into any p...

 Hello everyone! In this post I will be talking about the technology I will be using for my fillm. I am going to be keeping the budget pretty low for this film. So I will be using my phone (iPhone 13) and to edit my movie I will be using iMovie. The actual filming will be done using the camera on my phone and with the help of a friend, she recommended changing the frames from 30 frames per second to 60 frames per second. This will help make the quality of the video much better and more proffesional looking. I was going to use an editing software, however those cost money and can pretty pricy sometimes. So I will be sticking with the safest option and using iMovie. I also have experience with the iMovie software so I will be more comfortable using it. I want to keep this as simple as possible so making this film goes smoothly.

 Hello all! In todays post I will be discussing the lighting I will be using for my film. For the beginning I have to make sure the lighting is very low because it is raining, so my editing will have to come in handy with that. As for the rest of the film I will have sunlight in it but I have to edit the sunlight in a way to give it an eerie kind of feeling. As for the night scenes I am going to have the lighting from a TV to illuminate the room, and for outside scenes at night a very small light will have to be used that way the people can see what the actors are seeing outside.

 Hello! For this film there arent going to be very many location changes. The main few locations I am going to be filming at are my house, throughout my neighborhood, and the front section of my neighborhood. For the house I want it to feel lived in, so I will not be doing much to change the scenery of the house. Since I dont have much action it will be easy to stay in one general location for the first two minutes of the film.
