Finishing film script

 What is the shooting schedule for your film opening? I have not put it together just yet, but soon I will construct it. When I begin to put it together I need to speak with my actors to see when they are available. Once I speak with them I will be setting the location which is my house, the time will be sometime in the afternoon/ night on a weekend or 3-5 on a week day. I would prefer to begin shooting at a time when the sun is going down. So this does affect the time those can take off to help me shoot. So overall it will be sometime in the afternoon/night most likely on a weekend. Will you record any sounds during production? If so, how? Will you record sounds in-camera or using a separate audio recording system? I will record sounds during production, I want to have music in the background that creates some sort of  suspense. I will record the sounds most likely off of my phone which will be at the same time as the film is being recorded. I am not aware of any apps I can use to add

Starting filming

  What technology will you need in order to begin filming?  I honestly do not think I will need a lot, probably just my phone and a computer to do some editing. I have a polaroid camera I could use to add picture props to my film. Kind of like a mysterious thing where I add photos on a table or something. Its little things I can use to add suspense and interest into my film. There isn't too much technology I think I will need to use because really all I need is a camera to record, as well as an editing app to put pieces together and most likely need to cut some out. What will your film look, sound, and feel like?  The goal for my film is to feel very suspenseful and even have you on edge while watching it. I want it to be something that has you wondering what is going to happen, not just expecting what's going to happen like a typical horror film opening. The sound is going to be very low toned, slow, mysterious music. I want to try to put a certain sound in the background to a

Film considerations

 In what locations will your film be shot? Why? Include pictures and/or videos of real shooting locations. I was thinking for my film to be shot around my neighborhood. My plot is people who get lost in the woods and end up in a haunted palace, so I believe shooting it around the neighborhood first would be good, then for the palace part shoot it in my house. This has been my initial thought but I am now re-thinking about shooting it in my house because it is not much palace like. Possibly another option would be my grandmas house which is much bigger and has stairs.  Who will act in your film, if anyone? Why?  My sisters can help act in my film as well as my bestfriend most likely. If they are not available I will have to find other family members to participate because regardless, the idea was for it to be older individuals including the fact that they need to be able to drive. The age I would say is around 15+ I don't necessarily want anyone younger unless I add an extra charact
