    This was our second week of filming. Me and my partner Courtney and Theresa were able to get on the field this week. We completed all of the shots we needed for our movie opener this week. We did not have any issues either. We worked and planned out our day of filming very well. We made sure we would be able to get on the field by having an administrator take us out to the field and unlocked all the gates for us. We  had all the equipment we needed set up such as cleats, gloves, balls, and bats. The weather and the lighting was perfect for our day of filming as well. 1. The first to pictures we got from filming this week are me and Theresa fielding a ground ball and throwing ball to first. These shots play a big role in our movie opener because the majority of the film is Peter and I playing baseball. Courtney took these photos while filming also. 2.  These 3 photos are shots we took of me catching while Theresa pitches. These are also shots featured in our movie...

  Me and my group decided to start filming this week. We took a few simple clips of us walking up to the field and getting warmed up before the practice. This is Courtney taking a picture of me and Theresa walking out to the baseball field which will be the first scene of our movie opener. This was taken at the entrance gate to the baseball field. The first issue was faced because the gates were locked so we could not get closer to the field so we did it as close as possible. We then  decided to film the scenes of me and Theresa putting on  our cleats which will be a close up shot for our movie opener. We did these outside by the field. The next shot that we filmed is me and Theresa stretching and getting ready to play catch with each other. Courtney got good angles and good lighting of us on the field. The picture above is a picture of Courtney filming us while we started to stretch. This is going to be the fourth clip in our movie film. Today we faced the challenge...

  Me, Courtney, and Theresa first decided to make the plot of what the movie would be so then we can decide what the intro would show. We decided that the movie would be about Theresa and Peter, the two baseball players, and the path of going from high school baseball to college baseball at Florida Gulf Coast University. Our movie would be about Theresa and Peters experience at FGCU and playing a college sport. We all agreed on naming the movie "The Next Level". Then we started planning our movie intro. We all said that it should start with Peter and Theresa at their high school and that the intro would show how they got to play at college.  The first clip would be Peter and Theresa walking to the field and getting ready. There will be an establishing shown to give off where the setting is at. The next clip will be in the dugout and shows all of our equipment. We will use close ups to make it dramatic and a high angle shot to make sure the angle fit all of the equipment in th...
