Day 1 Production Process

 PROCESS-

-Now let's go behind the scenes! Our first day of our production process, we decided to start with our Set design. We initially had planned to use my garage as it was spacious and the perfect place for lighting and also big enough to hold our backdrops in place as well. Yet after a good 30 minutes of trying to set up in the garage, we realized that we couldn't place the backdrops the way we wanted them to be seen. We had no way of placing them on the walls since there were many objects in the way. So we decided to use my studio instead since the walls were plain and the exact size of the backdrops as well. Now for placing them on the walls my dad had an idea of just stapling the backdrops onto the wall so its more evenly spread out and it worked! As for the lighting, i just dimmed my studio lights and closed the curtains to make it look darker and eerier. We also used a handheld magnetic light used to project some extra lighting needed. 

-So now that we have our location set and our lighting checked, we needed to create the bars for our prison cell. We used my dog cage and set in on top of a plain white table to keep it steady and at eye level. If we filmed it a certain way it captured our character Avery as if we was "behind bars". We also added a little extra touch with a bed. Yet we didn't exactly have a bed so we used a gray bench with 2 big cushions which were held by gym strings and a white mattress on top to make it look like a bed. For our following scenes, we did't have much problem finding where wee would do them, instead it was simple, for our interrogation scene we used a plain white table recycled from the prison scene and two bar stools that worked like chair. For the officers office scene, we just used my dad's personal office and redecorated it a bit. For special effect we adde the same table and the dog bars to add as if Avery was watching from her cell. 

BUDGET-

-To create these scenes, my group and I needed to come together to plan our expenses in what we would need to make these scenes come to life. For our equipment, I already owned a camera and tripod as well as some lighting equipment to give us more access to film instead of just using our phones. Yet for some of our Mise-en-scene and props, Jade and I combined our financed together to order the hospital gown, and the 2 backdrops as well as the props for our officer costume. Together it rounded up to about $100.00. Carolina also bought thee walkie talkies that worked for one of the officers props. As we created our scenes, we managed to stay within budget and think outside the box to give life to our set.
