Entry #19

April 6

We got a bulk of the filming done over the weekend. At this moment we have only a few more in school scenes to do, which is basically running around a lot, as well as Lucas's scenes.

We got the more complex/important scenes done. We filmed the part where Justin drops the device (and it breaks), accidentally goes in the girl's bathroom, and get chased by the teacher and the girl around the 4th and 6th floor. 

We spent a really long time in the bathroom, which honestly I wasn't too happy about since it was a very simple scene to do, yet we spent about an hour in it. I didn't have to worry about sound since the boom make is sensitive enough that we don't need to put it close to anything. I'll probably just have to learn how to remove the white noise.

One continuity problem; I forgot to bring a hat. But Joyce says it'll be fine so, we'll see when it comes to editing time. If it's really bad then we'll probably just re-film then.

We filmed in the auditorium, which was very confusing. It was our first time analyzing the Grimm's Tale set, so we had to plan out for quite a long time on what we're going to do. There was a lot of discussion between our editor and cameraperson, which I guess is a good sign that everyone's proactive. 

Since it was only Justin and I doing the chase, we planned out on what we wanted to do. Joyce wanted a long scene so we had to run around a lot. Maybe it was too long but I think we can cut some parts in editing; hopefully. 

We also filmed a scene where Justin will dive into the seats and that's how he teleports. I'm a little uneasy about it but we did it anyway just in case.

And we also filmed a part where Justin goes into pillars and that's how he teleports. Again I'm uneasy about that but I don't think we're going to use it. The script is long as it is already.

Those are pretty much the important/complex scenes we filmed. The order in how he filmed is like Memento: all over the place with the pieces put together in the end (editing). 

After school today we filmed the DT scene, which was very easy compared to the scenes we filmed last weekend. I didn't really have to pay attention the sound because the boom works and it's sensitive enough to capture a lot of the sound.

We also filmed the scene that follows the DT scene, which is when Justin comes out of the common room and crashes into the lockers. The crashing sound when Justin crashes into the lockers is great. I'll probably use that to contrast the DT scene.

Today was one of the more efficient days. To me that is a great improvement.

I was an IB learner:
 
Communicator: Discussed intensely and especially with Justin on how to approach the auditorium scene.
