 Hello, blogger me and my group have finished our story boards to illustrate our script to give us an idea of how the scenes will play out. 

Hello, bloggers when starting our initial production for our short film. My group decided how to split up work and catergoalically work depending on everyone’s schedules. Some of us have work often after school or activity’s that we partake in. By prioritizing convenient hours for each other we have schedules to work on Wednesday and Sundays.  Initially one of our first discussion as a group was surrounded by making a title for a short film. Trying to come up with something witty but short. Creative and appealing, we had so much to think of names like; slumber in the knight, A night to never forget, The last Slumber. We all came up with different names but settled with ‘Slumber Ends’  The name is great for our short film because it revealed the part of the slumber party but also the huddle ending or demise of one of the characters. Making viewers more intrigued  before the short film even starts.  During this time we also came up with character names and planned out ...

 The opening credits of the film will appear in a eerie font, “typed” into the Film sporadically.      •    The title of the short film will be "Slumber's End"     •    It will be all bold, the font being called "Dark Mystic".     •    Titles will fade-in and fade-out to give a suspenseful feeling.     •    Titles will disappear after 2 or 3 seconds.     •    Black font will be used for both the titles and the name of each person and their role in the film. Example; DIRECTED BY: Jane Doe     •    The first and last name of the person who holds the job will be 2 sizes larger than the rest of the words.  DIRECTED BY: John Doe

   Schedule: Majority of our time spent filming will be afterschool, or on the weekends.  Location: The location of our filming will be at Callie's house, due to our project being centered around a sleepover.  Participants: Within our film, everyone will be in the film, however each of us will be taking turns filming each other, and to get a shot with all of us in it, we will either have a friend record it for us or use a tripod to capture our scene. Nijah will be editing and acting, Callie will be recording and acting, Natalie will direct and act, and Janiah will record and act.  Health & Safety: Within our film, we will be in a safe location, inside a teammates house with adults. Throughout our project, everything that can be seen as harmful is fake. Such as knifes, and any malicious actions. To ensure the safety of our team, our parents purchased us a first aid kit to keep on hand.  Props: Actors will be utilizing fake knives, fake blood, and an...
