Usage of Technology

The technology that I used during this process is my phone. I used an iPhone 11 to record dialogue and shots. No other technology was needed to do what was needed. No other technology was used so I didn't learn how to use any other technology. I didn't use any YouTube tutorials or instructions, recording on my phone was self explanatory and didn't require much steps.

Filming

 Me and my group started filming on February 23,2022. Initially, we used the hallway and a green screen room in our school but no matter how much we tried to improvise with the green screen, it was not working out in our favor. There was many distractions and if I'm being honest we had a lot of bloopers. It took us a long time to get a decent shot made. We had all our shots and we did a rough draft edit and the background was not looking good. So, we had to come up with an idea to do all of our shots over again. A lightbulb went off in my head. My mom's office has a similar layout of a police station and their conference room can be used as an interrogation room. We were over the filming period we were given so we had to film the shots all in one day. On March 12,2022, me and my group met up at my mom's office and filmed all of our shots in under 2 hours. There was less distractions and we were dedicated due to the fact that we knew we were running out of time and didn't have much time left. During the filming, we decided to change up the lines in the dialogue and change the type of shots.

Learning Experiences

As the director, I made a huge mistake I'm glad that my teacher caught it. Initially, I was recording the video in portrait. When me and group thought we were done and went to our teacher for review she told us that our video had to be filmed in landscape. We had to re-film all our shots. I'm glad that this happened because we were initially filming in a green screen room but it did not go as well as we thought. We had to change filming locations. We changed to an office building and used their conference room as the interrogation room.

Changes and Revisions

We didn't make much changes and revisions but we changed some of the angles for our shots and during filming Destiny and Dana improvised so their dialogue is not exactly like the script.
