While many people may be starting to film their projects within the coming weeks, Tai and I are very much so stuck in the rut of trying to find an adequate amount of time to do so. For context, the level of work we have (specifially for a class/club we're in) takes up a majority of our time already.
For both of us, there are a set list of responsibilities we have. We're both participating in a competition that has us practicing for 8+ hours every weekend. Thats almost a whole day we could be using to film. Additionally, we're both part of a class that has us making an almost weekly 20 minute show. While Tai has to make a video almost every week, I am one of the people actually producing the show so both of our time is taken up by either video production or having to manage everyone making a video. Remember that competition I mentioned before? Yeah for about five days we go all the way to Long Beach, California. and thats about 19 days away from today. So that almost a whole week where we can't film at all. Keep in mind this does not include the regular school work we both have.
So heres the solution. We'll spend this time heavily planning the film, making sure we acquire/make every prop, making sure we know where and when we're filming, and making sure we have actors, and equipment secured. We will also make sure exactly which shots we need to get and how we need to get them, making sure we have a storyboard, shot list, action list, and script. Actual production. will take place during spring break. Neither of us have plans of traveling with family and it is the only true extended free time we have. Spring break cuts it close to the deadline of the project, which is why we're heavily relying on making sure the planning is solid enough to speed up the production process.
I really hope this works.
