Week of June 12th

The film festival was better than I expected. The videos actually made people feel all types of emotions. A lot of times the films made them laugh, made them clap, made them sad, and most importantly influenced them(PSAs). I overheard conversations of people, and even a teacher talking about the films being surprisingly good. I would have to agree, the hard work that students invested actually paid off.

Week of June 5th

This week my production company and I were able to film another interview. After school we will have to reshoot an interview because we could not get the microphone to work the first time we shot that interview. On the other days we were either editing or uploading footage. We only need student interviews now and our mockumentary will be complete.

Week of May 29

This week my production company has been real busy. We stayed after school and shot two interviews, and on the rest of the days we edited the film. Our mockumentary is finally coming together, but we still need to shoot a couple of more interviews and field footage, but so far we have been productive.

Week of May 22nd

This week my production company and I spent most of our time shooting. We had some issues because we ran our of tape twice. We scheduled interviews and did a bit of editing. We will continue to shoot and import our footage to start editing and putting the film together ASAP.

Week of May 15

This week my production company and I were able to film my part of the interview. We were also able to get some field footage and we had to film the establishing shot once again. That took up a large amount of time since we had to go outside of the school and wait until there was no one in the front of the school. When we weren't shooting we were inputing the footage and deleting unnecessary clips. We will continue to shoot students interviews first, and then teacher interviews.

Week of May 8th

This week we continued to come up with an edit the responses for the teachers and students. We also rehearsed some of the responses, but due to the AP testing and the weird schedules, we were not able to begin shooting. We began shooting on monday.

Week of May 1st

This week my group came up with questions that we could ask the teachers and the students for our mockumentary. Then we began to write our script. A mockumentary does not require a script, but we wanted guidelines as to what the actors had to say. Yesterday we finished the script, therefore we can start shooting now. Today we cannot shoot due to the lack of time, but we start to shoot asap.
