2/21 Final Pre-Production Plans

 Hello, in my previous blog post, I discussed the plot in more detail and what it takes inspiration from. Now, I will be talking about how I plan on filming the project, how I will detail the project on my blog as I make progress, and other plans for the production itself. I lack any kind of budget; I can probably only film on my phone, and I will probably be the only actor. That is why I chose to make the opening contain only one character. For editing, I will use iMovie on my laptop to put scenes together, apply effects, as well as other post-production touches.

I plan on making my storyboard in the week following this blog post. It will contain all of the shots and angles I plan on showing in my finished film opening. Some of these shots include: multiple close up shots of the character's face, extreme long shots to emphasize the lack of people, and a point-of-view shot of whatever attacks the character.

Going back to how I will film this, I will simply choose an appropriate time of day in which there aren't many people outside, and I'm free to film myself without ruining the scene. For scenes that require far more complicated positioning, I will probably enlist the help of my father to hold the phone camera. I will film outside my house, in my house, and in empty places in my neighborhood. In order to make the place have an apocalyptic tone, I might trash a few things in my house, and apply a slight orange-yellow haze in post-production, or a darker hue instead. These are the plans I have for my film opening, and I look forward to recording my progress on this blog.
