3D Shoot

At first I was nervous to film with a new group, especially just when I got used to my old group.  First comes the stage of meeting all the group members, then comes the positioning of each member, and finally arrives the disagreements of ideas. Luckily, my new group is awesome!  Ben, the little creative cookie, thought of a shot list/ small script.  We all worked around our plot which is of a monster attacking high school students.  The hardest part of the 3D project was that we had to circulate the plot around four genres.  Luckily both our groups picked horror.  The second for the other group was "war" and the second for my small group was "teen movie."  Now, how the hell can we construct a film that is existent in horror, war, and teen movie?  Especially with the location and props that we have. Well after some improvisation, and testing certain angles out we finally got it.  The cardboard boxes were also pretty tough to use in the film.  We kept on thinking....how does this relate to 3D?  Will it pop out more?  Also, after constructing a 3D film I felt as if we should have taken more advantage of the 3D aspect.  Pointing props towards the camera, directing actors to move towards the camera, pretty much any element that will go towards the camera to make the 3D effect more obvious.  During sound in post production, it was difficult to construct a soundtrack that goes with our genres.  What falls under teen movie?  Can teen movie be considered a drama or a comedy or a musical?  There wasn't any specification with the teen movie and my partner and I started to doubt ourselves with the soundtrack.  Other than that, the experience of making a 3D film was extremely fun!
