Film progress week 6

Well this is the last week that we had till we turned in our films. Lastly to be done was all the sounds. A bit of foley was not able to be added to the film. In the end the film was turned in and we had all the shots we needed turned in. Yet, we did not have all the sound put in to we needed. Oportunities to put foley in was missed but in the end it was a good experience to get a taste of how the rest of the year will be.

This week on our film we have only w couple days left to finish. We have everything recorded and it is a matter of putting it all together. We had to record some ADR again but so far we have all of our sound done. The foley has been done but there was trouble when putting the foley with the footsteps because they didn't match. Yet, we have everything in control and just need to focus on finishing it on time. The film is way more work then I expected but it was good to give a taste of how busy and how hard working we gotta be bext year.

This week on our film is where we started our post filming work. We started editing more and recording foley sounds. All our ADR is mostly done and just have to focus on our editing. We each take turns switching off in the editing. Though, sometimes we may get distracted we are determined to finish this film in time. The shots that we got are all of a variety which will make our film more intresting. If we keep up the work and also push it more our film should be done and ready to show by friday.

This week in our film group we have filmed about two days already. We have gotten a lot done in about four days. The first two days we messed around a bit and didn't get much done but pulled ourselves together and have gotten what we need to get done, done. There were some scenes that needed redoing and we shot them today. We also needed a variety of more angles for certain scenes to make it look more apealing. This week we plan to shot once more and do more editing. Today the guys also worked on some foley that we will add in tomorrow. Finally, I would like to say that our whole group is cooperating and being there when needed and if we keep up the good work, I know it will be a great film.

For this weeks progress with our film we have been successful. We started our first say of filming on wednesday. We originally scheduled it for tuesday but ran into a few problems and moved it to wednesday. During that day we went to the house we are shooting at and worked on the first couple of scenes. We did a good job so far in the shots we got and our camera man got good angles to have a variety of shots to switch off of. Then we ended the day off with the scene where he plays his Xbox. The next day the guys in our group decided to start working on the foley sounds while naomi and I helped edit. The next days we are scheduled to shot is this following week and again we hope to get a lot done and do a great job on out film.

For my film group we chose to go with Gustavo's script. We have started fixing mistakes in the script and perfecting it to be the way we want out story to go. We spend time at the location we want to shoot and took pictures so we have a better idea to do out story board. We only have two characters in the film and our main character will be Eric. The other will be played by my mom as the mother. We plan to be filming by next week if we finish our script and storyboard on time. The days we plan to film will probably be Tuesday,Wednesday, and Thursday of next week and the week after that. Our scripts did have an amount of mistakes but we all got online and fixed it together. The group have all cooperated and have all put in there work so if we continue this way I hope to be done on time and to have done a well job. 

Well of course by this time I'm sure everyone has heard of Netflix. Yet, though they have a million viewers that pay monthly to use their service, how else do they make their money? If you haven't seen yet, Netflix now has they're own TV shows that they produced and only play on there also like Hulu. A survey says that about half of the viewers watch the Netflix series. On some research that was done it is said that Netflix raised their price target from $280 to $330. About $150 million was used to make the TV shows. Yet, from a source it is said Netflix Shows will  " cut churn by establishing expectations about future potential offerings, a strategy borrowed from premium cable networks like HBO." This can help them a lot money wise and help them expand more then they already have.

This article caught my eye because literally all I watch is Netflix and knowing how they make their money or learning ways they expand interest me to always keep up with their new ideas to help them expand more.

As a consumer and film student it concerns me that Netflix does well because being able to watch as many times as I want and with a whole variety does concern me because without it , where would I watch movies?

Although Netflix's produced TV shows have become a big hit ,will their other new inventions be as good as this one?
