Preparing to Film

 actors

The actors in our opening scene are Emily, Nestor, Leon, and me. Leon starts as playing the officer in the first scene to break the news of their friends missing. Then, Nestor, Emily, and Leon will play the friends of the missing person and I play the person missing.

costumes

The costumes will be pretty casual, as in high school clothes. The police officer is going to wear Timberland shoes, and the friend group is going to wear civilian clothing, that teenagers would usually wear.

props

The Tim shoes are a prop used to make it appear as if we have an officer in our film. They can create a sense of authority to our audience to heighten the suspense. There is also a locket the friends find in the woods that hold special meaning to the missing friend. I purchased the locket through Amazon and it was pretty affordable.

locations

There is going to be two different settings where we will be filming at. The woods is the first place where the scene of the disappearance begins, it. creates a mysterious mood, and the second scene is the abandoned house, where the friends end up at.

dates times

We are planning to film some time within the end of January of 2025 and begin of February 2025. We have attempted to film prior but, it has been difficult to find a time where everyone is completely available for a film session.

scripts

The script was not difficult to create because once we brainstormed the idea together, everything else lined up. There aren’t many hard lines being said that may need to be recited, so it is easy for everyone to know their part in the film.

 film equipment. 

We plan to use a phone for filming, a bimbal to hold the phone and make it easier to work with, and a drone. It may be difficult to figure out an angle that would work best through the drone.
