Editing Mess-up: Vertical vs. Horizontal

Image
 Hey, blog!  Film-making requires exacting attention to detail and a combination of technical skill and imagination. Our group recently had a setback in our endeavor to create a five-minute video, which taught us important lessons about how important it is to follow good film-making practices. Our error? filming in a vertical rather than a horizontal orientation—a seemingly insignificant mistake with serious consequences .

Planning Blog: Location, participants, health, schedule

There is a clubhouse in there that we can occupy at any time of day we would like. It is very spacey and has a lot of things we can be doing in there, such as sitting in the movie room, playing pool, ping pong, and Foosball, to set the scene of everyone being together as a group. It would be a nice sight to see since the whole piece is about friends becoming lovers, and these activities can show the aspect of friends having a good time all together.  Participants: The first participant is Luke, and he is the cameraman of this film. He will be behind the scenes, doing the work of holding onto the camera. The next participant is Elton, ...
