Hollywood Reflection #1
Our film for CAP Hollywood is progressing nicely. We got all of our "night" footage in Silver Spring about a week ago, and just yesterday, we got all of our "day" footage, minus one scene. That scene, however, should be very easy to film, so there's no worries there. We compiled our nighttime footage into a rough timeline, and plan on putting the newer footage in next class. One worry we had going into this assignment was lighting, because when filming at night, it can be difficult to make the video look high quality. But thanks to some streetlights, our film took on a sort of spooky tone, which is exactly what we wanted. But we did have difficulty transferring our footage onto the computer. Apparently, we filmed in some strange format, and had to get another teacher to fix it so that it was in the correct format. Luckily, this wasn't too large of a setback, and we could get some work done while waiting for that to happen.
This week, I went through our script, and wrote down any sounds or soundtracks that I thought we might need in our film. And then, I went on the various CC websites to find these sounds. I haven't found all of them quite yet, but a large chunk of them are ready to go. I also played the main character in our film, and I think I did a pretty good job. In the next week, I need to finish finding the sounds, act in the final scene, and help out with the movie poster. By the end of the week, we will hopefully have all of our footage filmed, have all the sounds ready to be plugged into our movie, and have a completed movie poster.
