This past weekend, my group got all of the footage needed for our CAP Hollywood film. We filmed on Saturday at the basketball court. We were lucky enough to have Connor help us film with a the really nice camera, so now our footage is of a higher quality. There was a slight hiccup in the plan, as many of our actors didn't show up. Fortunately, one guy did show up so we used him as the main character. There were other people playing basketball at the courts who played the other characters in the film. We also lost one of the drug dealers halfway through filming so we had to refilm the parts with a new drug dealer.
Overall, this film has proven a real challenge, what with finding actors and scheduling a time to film. But we were able to get it done which means that we are on to the next step. I think that with some really nice editing, our film will look really good. We got some extra footage for b-roll, just to make it more dynamic, and we have a variety of shots so that it doesn't look like a home video in which we just stuck the camera at one place the whole time.
This week, we hope to get a very rough cut of our film and mainly lay out the footage in sequential order. If needed, we can also play around with filters in final cut to see if any will work with our film, but that is just a possibility. That's it for this week!
