The team has been working very hard in preparation of the film. While we haven’t started filming yet, we have watched several films to help us form a better idea of what we want to do. Each movie sets up the mood, idea, and setting in a different way. A major way that they do this is through sound, and more specifically music. Because of this common theme, our group has been examining different songs we can include to enhance our project. The group has looked at several songs coming from different genres to see what would best work for our project. The requirements to put a song into consideration for the project included a generally positive feel with simple lyrics. This led us to songs like Hell n' Back by Bakar.\, Malibu by Anderson Paak, and California Girls by Katy Perry. These songs are mainly being considered for the opening. More deliberation is needed to determine what songs and sound editing will end up in the final film.
Though they were all listed together, these songs are not necessarily measured equally with our goals. The Katy Perry song is definitely more considered a last resort to keep in mind. The first two are more equally matched. Regardless of what we decide should be included in the film, we must refrain from any infringement of copyright. Ignoring the copyright on the songs used in the project could render it completely upgradeable, so it's important we keep it in mind.
Our next course of action was to coordinate our schedules so we could get the project done. Each of us are very busy, but we want to prioritize finishing the project before anything else. One thing that makes it a little easier is that half the team mainly operates in one unit in terms of scheduling, so it cuts the confusion in half. Still, we all work in addition to our school activities, so remaining organized is very important. We plan to film the project over the course of at least three days. Each day will consist of a different amount of actors and locations. A majority of the project will be preferably filmed on the weekend when we don't have to worry about school. The goal of the filming days is to make sure the actors are comfortable and that the filming process isn't strenuous. While we don't have a set schedule of how filming will take place, this will be cleared up once we get the first few scenes out of the way. We plan on filming at the beach, a volleyball court, and in different areas in Fort Lauderdale for landscape clips. Once filming is complete, a rough draft will be compiled and the editing process can finally start. A major goal of mine when we film is to get as much footage as possible, so we don't run into some of the issues we encountered on our last project.
