We plan on filming today, December 16. We are doing it on Lorrainne Road. Our goal is to capture more dialogue into out story and make the chase more intense.

We filmed our beginning shots on Tuesday, December 10. We didn't actually end up filming on Saturday because I got into a car accident so I had to use my brothers car on Tuesday. It went well and we got all of the shots we needed for the first minute. We filmed for two hours from 7 to 9 at the Sarasota courthouse garage, trying to get everything right. We have to move our filming day for Loraine road to Monday, which will be December 16. We plan on doing our car chase and matching the lighting with the first scene.

We have chose to use the Hollywood 11 movie theater parking garage to shoot the beginning of our movie. This parking garage is the best fit because it is mostly empty allowing there to be no distractions in the shots    Our second location is going to be Lorraine Road. This road will be a perfect fit for shooting because it is a very well lite road and is for the most part not a busy road allowing us to be able to film long without having to stop and wait for cars to go by.

In this storyboard I am one of the actors. I am being chased up the stairs in this first scene, which shows that there is some sort of chaos and makes you wonder why i am being chased. In the fourth piece I escaped into my car and Erik is chasing me in his car. This shows that i am on the run the entire time and do not want to get caught. With me driving really fast in my car adds a more intense, crazy mood.

1: low angle mid shot from the hip down going upstairs 2: close up on Makayla's face showing her in fear of being caught 3: close up of Eriks face against elevator 4: wide shot of Erik looking for somewhere to go 5: insert shot of star sign 6: wide shot of Makayla in elevator 7: wide shot of Makayla exiting elevator and Erik leaving upstairs 8: insert shot of car 9: wide shot of Makayla getting into car 10: insert shot on Makayla putting car in drive 11: mid shot of Erik getting in different car 12: low angle shot of car driving down ramp 13: aerial shot of cars driving down the road following each other My part in this was to actually be one of the actors. I am running upstairs in the first shot. The second shot is a close up of me. I contributed to most shots in the film because i am being chased and on the run in the film. In the car scenes i am one of the drivers. 

We planned to use two days to film, which are Saturday and Tuesday. We are doing it at night so that there are less cars on the road and less people around. We have to plan it to where the lighting in the videos will match and to where you will be able to see clearly. Our goal for Saturday is to film Erik in his car actually chasing Makayla in her car. Our goal for Tuesday is to shoot all of the scenes in the parking garage for the very beginning with the dialogue. On Tuesday we also are filming the scene where Makayla swerves around another car in the street. An overall goal is to make sure the lighting looks the same and flows together.

Erik: Erik is playing as the good guy in this film. He is going to be chasing Makayla to try and catch her from doing anything bad. Erik is frustrated while chasing Makayla because he doesn't want her to get away. Erik is best fit for this role because he is the nicer one out of us and he would never be the one to do anything wrong so he is playing the good guy. Makayla: Makayla is playing as the bad guy in this film. She is running away from Erik during this film. She has done something bad and Erik is trying to catch her for it. Makayla is best fit for this role because she is very crazy. She is rebellious and tries to act like she can get away with everything. She also drives a little crazy which is perfect for the film because she is being chased.
