Preproduction

During this week and part of my project, I will be putting everything that my group members and I need to start shooting. In doing this we will be finding out or doing the followings: scouting locations, storyboarding, casting actors, planning how the film will look and what it will represent, and writing our shooting schedule for the following week. In this blog post it will mention all the preparations into the preproduction of our film and the way we would be doing it.

Locations

Our film will be shot in an Ice cream shop and a library. The Ice cream shop will represent something meaningful for both our main characters, it will be the place that they go back to and relive all their childhood memories together. This Ice cream shop will be the place they meet again and when they do, it will create something of importance to them. The Library would be just a place they usually go when they need to study or do something that is school or work related, it will bring back their days in high school and all they've been through during that period of time. Take a pic at the location for the shot of our film.

Actors

In our film we will need two actors to play the two main characters of the film. Our actors will also be some of our group member, Clay Valcin and David Stephens, David and I will be playing in the film. We considered just using actors from our group member's because it will help our filming budget and take less time to prepare since we already know the steps and what we would need to achieve as actors to make our film possible.

Representation

My film will look like your typical romantic-comedy movie, where it comes with the steps that they meet, fall in love, get's into conflict, overcome it, and live happily ever after. This is how most romantic comedy films play out and it is the same idea for my film. My group member's and I will achieve it planning everything beforehand, for example our setting is already established and all the aspects that will follow in the setting.

Sound

In our film we will have dialogue while recording but when we get to editing we will mute the dialogue and will only show their mouth moving assuming that they are talking. We will have some sounds in the back group of the film that will be very calming and happy and goes along with the shots and the scenery of the film. We would use the same requirement we use to record to also record the dialogue but when it gets to adding the background effects and songs we will have a separate device that we will record the sounds from and that would later on be added into the film.
