Production Blog: The Film Location

 

The big day came of us finally deciding where we would film. We know how we want our shots but the location is the current issue. Our main place where most of the shots going to take place is going to be at my house. My house is the most ideal for our group since it's located near our place and has the most space between all of us in the group. Also within my house, is where we recorded the first time around, and personally, I can imagine the different scenes playing out within my house. Most of the storyboard was based on places around my house. The room layout, and the house too. As most of the spots where I want to record are going to be in the dark, we will see whether we should set up the lighting and if it fits the atmosphere we are going for. My house is near the beach. We are going to plan to see if there's a way we can incorporate a restaurant or an alleyway nearby. The moon does hold significance to the plot and want it to show through the filming process. Another thing is at the restaurant. We still haven't decided on where to go for that part of the filming process as we still haven't asked for permission to record within their restaurant. We don't know if we want to record in a cafe or a proper restaurant. If anything doesn't go through, then we will record at a McDonald's. We still gotta find a way to record the ending shots. We don't have a rig to help us get the wanted shots of the car driving around the streets with the close-ups. If anything we can just get the shots filmed from the the inside. But this wouldn't build up the suspension like we would like to. We just have to get together and plan out and sync our schedules
