This week we started our group project of making a short film. The idea of actually putting together a short film seemed pretty fun and I was interested in taking a closer look at the actual steps that go into this process. The first thing we did as a group was toss around a few ideas of what we wanted the film to be about. We had a few good suggestions and finally settled on creating a scary movie about a haunted chair. We then started to work on some story boards to help us see what the story was going to be about and to organize our thoughts. The story boards helped us a lot and we were able to put the haunted chair thriller together.

The film process has a lot of parts and we discussed as a group which part each of us thought they would be good at, I said I thought I would like to be involved in the film editing process because I like to work with technology and thought I could use my previous knowledge I have from editing a few you tube videos that I have made. I am excited for our project to get to that point. At this point we are still in the filming stages of the project. We have filmed most of the scenes using our phones and still need to film a few more night shots.

 The process of making a film is more detailed than I thought but it gives you a look at all the different areas of film making and what needs to be done in order to create something like this. I have enjoyed the film making process so far and am looking forward to not only seeing our finished project but everyone else’s also. I am not a fan of group projects in general but this one seems to be working well and I believe our final outcome will reflect a group working well together.
