Filming Blog: Securing our locations

Our group has had difficulty coming together for a set film date because of personal schedules, however, I have taken the time to secure our locations as well as ensure we will be ok filming there. When it came time to plan for blogs We have decided to film February 22, 23, and the 28 as all days were available for each group member. Transportation has also played a significant factor when it comes to our group coming together. Since most of us live over 10 miles from each other, the location we meet at to film, Silver Lakes Nature Park, is in Davie, FL. Davie being closer to me since I live in West Hollywood, FL; however, our farthest group mate, Reese, lives nearly 45 minutes from the park. Reese also has no car that she can take for hours at a time to get down here so her not being able to drive is also an obstacle. With all these obstacles, our group can 100% get the job done when it comes to coming together for the filming process. Like I said, our dates to film as of now go for: February 22, 23, and finally the 28. This will give us optimal time to edit as we can meet after school at a nearby Starbucks and finish our editing. On March 2, we have our peer editing review day, a day where another student watches your nearly completed movie and grades it, so all of our work must be done by then. Although there is limited time, I strongly believe that my group will be able to get it done as we are pretty clutch. During this time I did take the liberty of checking out the park itself and deciding where it would be best to film for lighting and least interruptions from the surrounding areas. I chose towards the back end of the lake to the left as sun is able to penetrate through the trees, but just enough so a glare wouldn't be produced as a result of it being reflected off the water. Below is a picture of the lake side we are using for a scene during our movie intros to give a better understanding of what the park looks like.
