 During the process the only technology I used during is my iphone. During the process I learned a lot about production technologies and one of the main thing I learned is the power of lighting and how lightning can literally change the narrative of the film. I did consult a video on youtube to learn how to move my camera smoothly. these are some of the videos i looked at to make sure my opening scene is well produced: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fU69dMu8dU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUbNYoA2e1U What kind of technology did you use during the process? What did you learn about using production technologies (cameras, lights, etc.)? Did you consult any sources to learn how to use your equipment (YouTube tutorials, etc.)?

  This is a small part of my shooting schedule for my film opening  I don't really need much filming equipment, but I do need a camera which it don't have to be a professional camera.

 My film will feel like a modern day movie with a few obstacles in the road that the characters have to overcome. Part of my film will look like everyday life but part of it will also look futuristic since the other planet is more developed than earth. I will achieve this look by using a green screen. I will also film my street since the beginning part of the film will be like normal life and my street look like normal life. I will record sounds for a certain scene in my film when they are in the space ship but that is the only time I will be recording any sounds or dialogue in my film. I will use a separate recording device to record the sound and I don't have a particular reason to why I choose using a separate recording device. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQFZdcPphwU

 The locations my film will be shot is at two houses, a school, and another planet like mars.  I wan to film in these locations because I want to show my viewers my characters normal everyday life before I get to the sudden change or the climax of my opening film. two teenagers will act in my film because I want it to feel as realistic as possible but also make the viewers use their imagination. some consideration I do need is child labor laws because the actors do need to go to school and they can't work for a certain amount of time. I also need to do catering because my actors obviously and employees obviously need to eat in order to work 

So for this week one of the things we were working on was our storyboard and we took notes on the subject on Monday which is the start of all week and we had all week to work on our storyboard and also catch up on any assignments that we didn't do or if we are behind on. The story board was something new since I never really heard of it until this week so I had a lot of learn obviously but I feel like this project is like writing an essay and the story board was just a draft of our opening scene. The storyboard was basically a drawn version of your script featured with vocabulary that they typically use in media studies such as including the shots and camera angles you want to include in your opening film, but so far this project is 50/50 because some days I feel stressed about the project but then another day I feel like I am on the right track. this day felt really all over the place and I feel totally behind but I'll be up to par before this week ends.
