Research and Planning ..

    I've been doing a lot of thinking and researching. And I feel as if my best genre choice for the type of film I have in mind would be a documentary. But you can never be too sure, so I'm still debating on my final decision. It may take a while, possibly a couple days to come to a final decision.. But the second I figure out which genre I'm doing for sure, I'm getting straight to work.

    I watched a few short films slightly similar to my idea, because there was not really any examples on the idea I have for my film.. Due to the fact it's kind of a new topic to the community and creative. In all honesty, I truly love my idea but I'm not really sure I'll be able to pull it off due to my environment and not having the proper tools or for say equipment.. I really want to just tell you guys, but UGHHH!! I don't want to spoil the surprise :(. If I don't feel like my original idea is going to come out the way I plan it to in the following week, I have a back up plan. So, I'll replace my original plan with my back up plan. 

    A few documentaries I took a look at were "The way I see it", "I am not your negro" and "The mask you live in" and about two more but I don't remember the names and I can't find them. I still have not decided on whether I'm going to work inside a group or not yet. By Friday I will come to a final decision for whether I'm working in a group or not and decide on the final genre for the film. I can't wait to start actually working on my film although it may be stressful, I'm still quite exhilarated :)!!

What did you learn about using production technologies (cameras, lights, etc.)?

    W hat I learned about using production technologies is that it isn't simple, but learning how to use the technologies also wasn't extremely hard. Me and my group members found out how to properly use the equipment within 10 minutes max... It was obviously the most basic levels of knowledge since we wouldn't be need the equipment long term.     The technology we used was our phones, which we already knew how to use. A Kodak camera which we had to read about a little to understand how to operate. A portable studio microphone that my group members older sister showed us how to use, which was connected to the computer which made it 10x more easier to understand. Then sometimes we used lighting but mainly natural lighting majority of the time.     What I learned about the camera is that it was different from other cameras, it started recording differently the other cameras. I learned a lot about the microphone, it was easy but hard at the same time if that makes sense. It wa
