Pre Production: Nate and I had a really hard time thinking of an idea for this story. For one of the classes we just walked around and tossed ideas to each other. We finally set upon an idea of having two people and one who stops and forms a connection and the other who does not stop and misses an opportunity to connect. We decided to have two people walking together and then one person would stop and help another person pick up stuff that fell out of a bag. We had a hard time finding actresses and figuring a day to go film where it would be nice outside.
Filming: We finally were able to film Thursday during flex block. The day we went to film it was really cold and windy. We also did not bring any lights because we thought that they might not do well outside. Since none of us were actresses, our film does not have the best acting. However, I think that we had a pretty good film for what we could work with.
Post Production: In retrospect, we should have brought lights. The quality of our film is really bad and is making me sad. Nate and I edited it together. I wish we had shot more takes so that we could have had more to work with. I do not know if we conveyed our message strong enough. I think that to make our film really strong we need to re shoot with better lighting.
*We are unable to upload our film because we did not get all the film off the SD card and so have of the film is black. This is a mistake that we will fix for next time.
