Schedule For this short film my filming schedule will be 3/22/24 – 3/30/24 for many of the scenes. The reason for this is because I am filming my short film in Colorado over spring break. My plan is to film the opening credit parts in Florida, I can then edit them to see the amount of time I need to fill up in Colorado.  Location The locations for this film will be at my house in Florida and on the mountains in Colorado. The Colorado location is a popular ski resort that I go to every year twice a year. For this reason I feel it will be easy for me to navigate where to shoot for my film. Participants For this film I will need at least 4 actors. My family has decided they can help and there may be a couple of friends who are also coming to Colorado. Health and Safety Health and safety is very important especially in an action film. I agree that helmets and protective jackets must be worn. This is in case of falls when skiing. I also want to make sure the people around us are safe wh...

This video had many great takeaways that were perfect for my action film. First I need to focus on writing. The video suggests that filmmakers write to fit their budget and resources and to consider set ups and payoffs which can be both part of the storyline and emotions. Your first instinct is probably what the audience is expecting but if you go with your second instinct it may be a better experience for your audience. Decide the theme and it will help you figure out what comes next. This video also informed that ear is least important to telling the story and the filmmaking process. I believe intensity is important for filmmaking but for my final task it may not be as important as it would be in an actual film. The video explained the importance of why directors should be sure actors are giving 100 percent. The example of an actor running was very helpful to help me imagine the difference between a jog and a full panicked run. The video also talks about sound which I have addres...
