Preparing to film

Greetings bloggers and welcome! Today we at CineMarcus Productions have some exciting news to share! Drumroll please... We will soon begin filming the opening scene of our much-anticipated feature film, Forsaken! Before we dive into the shoot, let me share some details about the setup process!

Costumes:

 The film's setting here is very indeed relaxed and casual, meaning that heavy or extravagant costumes for the characters are pretty unnecessary. In such an environment, everyday clothing is more appropriate for individuals hangout spots, especially the characters in Forsaken. By using comfortable attire, this film opener in my opinion can create a more authentic atmosphere that aligns with its themes and more importantly, reveal the personality traits of the characters!

Props:

While props may not play an essential role in this opener, the video is designed to be highly interactive. As we explore the vast vibrant mall, you the viewer will see all of the various activities that the actors do! For example, you'll join the fun in the arcade as we buy and enjoy food together. 

Actors:

We're as well thrilled to announce that our team member, Alexander, will play a meaningful role in the film! Justin and I will be working behind the scenes to ensure everything runs smoothly, along with three of my close friends who will also portray characters in the film, bringing their own skills to the project. Moreover, I also gathered three of my other friends who aren't in the AICE Media course to participate in the opener to really capture the atmosphere for you guys!

Locations and Dates & Times:

In addition to the side of actors, we couldn't have asked for a better location than Pembroke Lakes Mall! This vibrant spot is full of life and action and holds special meaning for all of us. It is a place filled with laughter and beautiful memories, making it the perfect backdrop to express our film's narrative fully. Furthermore, we plan to start filming Saturday January 11th, around 3:00 PM EST. That way, we can get all of our filming done in one day and focus more on editing the opener as a whole! 

Film Equipment:

As we explored different options for filming the opener, we decided to use my iPhone because of the efficiency of its camera, especially since I have the latest model (The iPhone 15). This choice not only minimizes the amount of equipment we need to carry, but it also gives us the freedom to create and edit countless videos together, allowing for greater creativity in our process!

We're getting super close to finishing our project and oh my goodness you all are in for a treat! Thank you bloggers and see you on the flip side!
