Midterm Submission

We chose to develop the film the way we did, because we wanted to do something different and we wanted it to be tense, action-packed and eventful. We chose to edit the film on Logan's computer, but we all contributed to it with our certain shots and editing. We chose the shots and the editing the way we did because we wanted it to be dramatic and like your sitting in the action as its happening . I first contributed by having my dialogue in the script as I was one of the characters who was in the film. Secondly, I contributed by suggesting angles and shots for most of the scenes with car in them. Overall I believe the film came out way better than we expected it to and i'm happy with the group and that everyone did what they were asked.

Film Shoot

We filmed our beginning of our film on Tuesday December 10th. We had to move our filming to Tuesday instead of Saturday due to an incident with Makaylas car. The filming went well we got the shots we needed and now have our first minute down in the film. We spent two hours at the Sarasota county parking garage  (7 to 9). We have our next filming date for Monday December 16th for Lorraine Road.

Schedule Filming

We planned to use two days to film, which are Tuesday and Thursday. We are doing it at night so that there are less cars on the road and less people around. We have to plan it to where the lighting in the videos will match and to where you will be able to see clearly. Our goal for Tuesday is to film Erik in his car actually chasing Makayla in her car. Our goal for Thursday is to shoot all of the scenes in the parking garage for the very beginning with the dialogue. On Tuesday we are also filming the scene where Makayla swerves around another car in the street. Our overall goal is to make sure the lighting looks the same and that the film overall flows together well.

Casting

Erik is playing as the good guy in this film. He is going to be chasing Makayla to try and catch her from doing anything bad. Erik is frustrated while chasing Makayla because he doesn't want her to get away. Erik is best fit for this role because he is the nicer one out of us and he would never be the one to do anything wrong so he is playing the good guy. Makayla is playing as the bad guy in this film. She is running away from Erik during this film. She has done something bad and Erik is trying to catch her for it. Makayla is best fit for this role because she is very crazy. She is rebellious and tries to act like she can get away with everything. She also drives a little crazy which is perfect for the film because she is being chased

Scout locations

We have chose to use the Hollywood 11 movie theater parking garage to shoot the beginning of our movie. This parking garage is the best fit because it is mostly empty allowing there to be no distractions in the shots    Our second location is going to be Lorraine Road. This road will be a perfect fit for shooting because it is a very well lite road and is for the most part not a busy road allowing us to be able to film long without having to stop and wait for cars to go by.

The shots I felt would be good for the scenes in our movie were the third and sixth shot. I felt the third shot would be good because it gives the scene a tense mood that suits the scene and it would show overall whats going on. Lastly, I felt the sixth shot would fit well, because we would need Makayla to escape somehow and i felt it would be a good clip and scene overall with that shot in it.

Movie script

The premise of the film was to create a suspenseful action film and to show off different angles and editing. I first contributed by having my dialogue in the script as I was one of the characters who was in the film. Secondly, I contributed by suggesting angles and shots for most of the scenes with car in them.
