Scheduling

Scheduling is tricky because both me, my partner and Jenna all have busy schedules and extracurricular activities, and making sure we film at a time that is good for all of us is important. For continuity purposes, we will attempt to film all our scenes in one day. This will make it easier when considering costuming, weather and other factors. A struggle we are dealing with is safety when filming. Certain areas in Tampa, specifically the areas that would give us the best footage, are notoriously bad parts of town. Also, many of our ideas include filming with minimal light because we want to give the affect of a dark, intimidating alley. For three young girls walking around a city alone at night, this could be very dangerous. So in order to bring someone along with us that would make us feel safe, we have to work around their schedule as well. Not only that, but we had to look for areas that could look scary or creepy, but were still in nice parts of the city. No need to film a kidnapping movie and actually get kidnapped in the process!

Technology

-The separate audio device we are going to use is a Lavalier Lapel Microphone, which is a condenser microphone to cancel unwanted noise.

-We will be shooting on an Iphone XS Max, which is the newest Apple technology available, and a camera that provides excellent quality. Features include Smart HDR, adjustable depth of field, more low-light detail, sharper action shots, 4K video and stereo playback.

-We will also be using a Macbook Pro and IMovie in order to edit our footage.

-We will also possibly use a tripod if it is needed. This, as well as the Macbook Pro, were devices that my partner and I both already had. However, the Iphone XS Max and the microphone was something we had to purchase in preparation for filming.
