Production Update #1

We are almost halfway done filming as of February 21st. Unfortunately, we have not stuck to our production schedule. We have all of our props necessary as well as the settings scouted out. We have filmed all of the home scenes on the 18th. This includes the news broadcast itself, the girl sitting on the couch watching the news, as well as the girl getting her dog to go on a walk. We had planned to film the woods scenes on the 19th. However, that did not happen. We plan on filming the woods scenes tomorrow (the 22nd). We plan to review our footage altogether on the 23rd. If any scene needs to be redone, we will film it again.

For our final project, we are creating a short intro to a horror film. We are going to start this film with a girl sitting down to watch the news. There is going to be an interruption of a breaking news warning. We will inform the people that there have been many missing person reports going out recently. The girl will then get up from her couch, go into the woods and take her dog on a walk. During this walk, someone will be in the woods acting as a "kidnapper". The girl will walk in the trail cluelessly and later get kidnapped. The setting of our story is in a house but mainly in the woods. The kidnapper in the woods will be wearing all dark clothes to portray the "bad guy". The girl will be wearing bright clothes to show she is the protagonist. We will be filming on an iPhone camera. We won't be using any props in our short intro.  For the setting, we will be shooting in Amory's neighborhood. We will start the film at her house. This is where the girl will
