Finishing Up Filming

 Today was the last day I planned to film the rest of what I needed to make my film complete. As I did for the previous days of filming I made sure that everyone was available to film. Once that was done we all met up at the local park where we filmed all of the shots as we previously did. We all agreed we should memorize our lines for each scene the day before so we all made sure to do that and then we all put the props up in their respective locations. After doing that, we got to filming. While filming, we did not have the flight path issue that we did the other days. This is because the weather caused delays for planes but it was clear and great for us to film in. We then went and filmed the scenes that we needed the audio to be good for quickly before the flight path becasme an interruption because we did not know if it was going to start again or not. We had to film multiple takes of every scene because we never got it correct on the first few takes. So, we got those shots done so we moved on to shots that would have music overlayed so the audio did not matter. Those shots came out so bad that I did not want to see them another time or show them to anyone else in the group. So, I suggested how they could be a lot better to the group and they did those things. They turned out better but something did still seem off to me. They said it was because I did not pan the camera correctly and when they said that I realized it was that as well. So, once I did another take correctly with the camera it came out great. We then reviewed the takes we put to the side as good ones to make sure they were usable and we found that they were all good for editing in the final film. After that, we discussed some editing techniques that I could use for specific scenes that could bring a great aspect to the film. They gave some great ideas that I will definitely be implementing into my editing when the time comes. Now, I had to go and think about what I needed to do for editing as I would be doing that on my own. I cannot wait to begin the editing process to see how this film ends up.

Our Oddball Day to Filming

Image
Today was the first day that I planned to film. It started off according to plan where I met the people that I would be filming with at their house to pick them up and get ready to film. We then headed back to my house to gather all of the supplies needed for the film. I then checked the weather forcast and saw that it was supposed to rain in two hours. Which gave us just enough time to start filming at one of the locations. I thougth we would have time and then it would start raining and it would all be okay. But, as we headed to the filming location it started to rain super badly. But, because of where I live you can usually wait 15 minutes and it will go away. But, today it was not showing any signs of slowing down and it qctually got worse. So, after sometime waiting at the filming location and seeing it begin to flood we had to decide what to do. Some said we should just wait it out some more and some decided that we shoul leave. So, we decided to then leave and go home. When we g...

The Start of a New Chapter

Hi there, my name is Aaron Shaffer and I am a student at Fort Lauderdale High School. I am 16 years old and in my third year of high school. Over the years, through the opportunities I have been able to receive, I have been able to achieve a lot academically. One of those achievements was being able to be a part of the Cambridge program at Fort Lauderdale High School which has allowed me to take multiple college level classes that are allowing me to receive credits, scholarships, and more that I would not have been able to receive otherwise. A little bit about my backstory is that I was born in Fort Lauderdale and have spent all of my life here. I find it a great place to live and enjoy the things that it allows me to do. Having access to so many different activities has allowed me to have many memories made with my friends. Things such as going on jet skis, boats, water skiing and more are things that I could not do in many other places year-round. When I am not out on the waters, som...
