So on Monday 2/24/20, Ethan and I went to Withlacoochee River Park to scout out the area. There we drove around to see where everything generally was, then walked through some trails to look for possible shooting locations and check out a lookout tower. Here are some videos from our endeavor, and on Thursday 2/27/20Continue reading “Location Scouting”

So today me and Ethan made some revisions to the script. Here is the new version of the script. OPENING SEQUENCE: Opening with establishing shots of the campsite sign. Layered over with ominous story telling. JASON (V.O/S.B) And he ran and ran and ran and then!… Cuts to the shot of Jason, sitting on aContinue reading “Script V2”

So today I’m going to go over the equipment we are going to be using. To start us off, lets talk about our camera. We will most likely be using a Canon EOS Rebel T4i we are borrowing from our teacher Mr. Engle. For reference, here is a picture of that model. Now to saveContinue reading “Tools of the Trade”

So, we are getting into actually filming our opening. First of all, before we start filming Ethan and I have arranges to scout out our new locale, Withlacoochee River Park on Monday 2/24/20. Ethan gets out of class at 4:00pm on that day, and he will come pick me up. We should arrive at theContinue reading “Shooting Schedule”

Ok this is a very short post, only a slight update. Ethan and I ran into some issues with shooting at our original location, so we are instead going to film at Withlacoochee River Park, as it is closer. We realized that other obligations such as classes at PHSC and Ethans job made the extraContinue reading “New Locale”

We also talked during he process, and some complications came up so we might have to change location, in which case I will make a new blog post about where. As for the storyboards, we didn’tContinue reading “Storyboard”

So, as we get deeper into our preparation, the question arises: where will we film? Now I have briefly addressed this before, but I haven’t gone into detail. Previously I stated we will be using Ethan’s connections to shoot in a park, however now, we have which one. Jay B. Starkey Wilderness Park. That’s theContinue reading “Where are we?”

For our Film Pitch we had Ethan present the pitch, as he is much better at talking than I am. The script was written a day in advance to allow time to practice. The video was completed a few days ago, but I just received the video today, hence the late blog post. Without furtherContinue reading “Film Pitch”

So for our movie we are going to need a distributor. After discussing it with Ethan, we have decided that A24 would be the best choice. This is due to many things, one being the fact that we are making the film. While having the film be distributed by say, Disney, would be great becauseContinue reading “Seeking Distribution”
