Filming Week 2

This week was the big filming week! My partner and I went to the YMCA to shoot different shots of myself playing basketball. These shots included different camera angles and different types of shots and layups. Below are some clips from the filming.

Filming Week 1

This week, my partner and I did a lot of preparations for filming. We laid out different costumes and established different settings for where the filming is going to take place. We have established different color schemes for costumes and laid out different props that we're going to use in each shot. Below are some images of the costumes, settings, and props.

Preparing to Film

Actors - The main actor in this film is going to be myself, Ryan Witthoff playing as the basketball player. There may be background characters that won't play a big role in the opening.

Costumes - The main character will be wearing 2 different costumes. The first costume is going to be a shirt and tie outfit while the character is signing to the school. The other costume is going to be workout clothes while practicing basketball.

Props - For props, we are going to need a basketball, a pen/paper, and hats for different schools.

Locations - The only two locations are going to be the basketball gym and the lobby of the gym where the signing will occur.

Dates and Times - Most basketball players sign to their desired school in the Winter or Spring and this would occur during the night and day.

Scripts - There won't be any dialogue while playing basketball, possibly just background music. The opening all together will be silent even when the main character chooses a school. All he will do is express his emotion through actions.

Film Equipment - We will use a tripod and a camera to film this opening. Only natural and ceiling light will be used.
