Cambridge Portfolio Week 6 3/21, Order of Filming/Schedule

Now that I will film most of my opening this week, I need to plan the order in which I film scenes and when I will. I have done some type of scheduling before, but it has not gone according to plan. After attempting to film the first scene of the film, I realized it was very difficult and may need some refilming, not to mention it wasn't the entirety of the scene. If I'm going to refilm any of it, it will be the end. I'm trying to do the easy parts first, so that I can finish filming as fast as possible. Something I need to consider is simply the fact that I would like to enjoy my break. If I try to spend the entirety of the break doing it, I fear that I would be too burnt out and do worse on the project than I would otherwise. For the hours, I plan on doing it from 3:00 to 7:00. The reason is because I want it to be bright enough and to be consistent. It would be noticeable if I did different scenes at completely different times of the day because of the lighting and the way shadows are cast. From these hours, I would preferably do it later, because it would at to the orange and yellow filter I plan on editing in.

I believe I should start with the scene in which the character goes down the stairs. The reason is because it's a pretty simple shot and the part with the light going through the windows could be shot earlier in the morning where the sun comes up in that direction, and the interior of the house it dark. I could probably try getting up early on Monday or Tuesday. Next would be the outside walk, because it doesn't require any kind of setting up. There are no props or set design I really need. Next would be the shot outside and inside the other houses, which would be harder since I am filming it inside someone else's house and need to create the eyeball. Finally, I would probably go with the scenes where I find human remains as well as the entity attack, which would be more difficult since they require prop creation. This is only assuming that I do not refilm the first scene, which is the most difficult since I need to trash the room. I cannot decide exact dates for these scenes, except for the eyeball scene on Friday, since I actually plan on going to a friend's house on that date. I look forward to filming this Spring Break.
