First Film Is Underway!

Today, I would like to discuss the first film I will be posting on this blog. My very first project (which was a horrific failure) was a horror film based off of the popular game "slender" wherein  the main character was chased down in an abandoned house by slender. The project was a massive failure due to overestimation of how much editing we could do in "post" (post production). At the time, we could not film at night so my editor, who was as well still fresh at the time, decided that we could probably make the sky dark and fix the shadows and make everything look like night time in post. He got about four seconds done in the span of ten hours. Needless to say, we abandoned the project.

Since I now have a little more experience, I had decided to attack the horror genre again with a more original idea in terms of the character of the antagonist. This project promises to be interesting, as I have no experience filming at night, and I have never worked on a project that has lasted more than two weeks. Yesterday, we officially started filming for the first third third of the film (the film will come in episodes), and have gotten around a third done of the first episode.

 So far, the biggest problems we are having seem to be cinematic continuity and exposure, which I will go over in next weeks blog post. The first episode should be finished within a reasonable period of time, and when it is out I will proceed to analyze it and give my opinion of what I did well and what I did poorly. Before I end this post, I would like to apologize for the quality of it, I have only gotten around four hours of sleep after a full night of filming, and so I am extremely tired.
