GLD Productions: SUBJECTED
Sunday, April 10, 2016
And finally....our final project! All edited and ready to view. This wouldn't be possible without my two partners Lucie Pottecher and Guste Janusauskaite. The project has been an incredible journey with lots of hard work put in by all of us.

Now, all that’s lest is to edit to
perfection, which is all being done by the amazing Lucie Pottecher. Part of
editing is coming up with music to play during the opening credits, which we
are all apart of. After much searching, we founf the perfect sound to go with
the opening, the only problem is at the end of the song, the music gets weird
and we don’t like it. So Lucie decided to loop the beginning of it so it sounds
smooth and we like the music throughout.
Also, attached below are the
original and edited storyboards of our two-minute opening. I wanted to post
these to show the evolution in our story, just on filming day!
This is the original:
And this is the edited version:
Update: last night Lucie and I
finished shooting for our video. There was only one shot we couldn’t take at
the set of the train tracks. The shot we could not take at the set was the
flashback; a shot where the main protagonist, Jonny, engages in a flashback
from the night before. This flashback reveals that Jonny was abducted, and the
pieces start coming together to reveal how he got to the place he currently is.
Location and lighting were a big factor
in how we wanted the shot to come out. The shot is a point of view shot from
Jonny when he is getting shoved into a car trunk. We wanted the person shoving
him in the trunk to be in full shadow, no facial features shown. We also wanted
the background to be a sunset, which played out perfectly with what we waned with
the shadow. The sunset created the perfect shadow we wanted. It took Lucie and
I almost an hour to perfect that shot. We hope it turns out great on screen!
So here are some photos from the
other day when we finally got to shoot the two-minute film opening! It was so
much fun for everyone. Lucie, Guste and I all have much more appreciation for
what goes into making a production and we are so proud of what we have created.

Going over lines with Diego:
Sunday, April 3, 2016
Yesterday, Lucie, Guste and I, as
well as our friend Diego (who plays a character in our story) went to shoot the
two-minute film opening. Shooting was a process to say the least. We needed to
reshoot a lot of the shots to make sure they were perfect. Overall, we are
happy with the way things turned out at the end of the day, and we had a lot of
fun doing it.
Now, over the next few days Lucie
is going to edit to make our story come together perfectly. We are all excited
to see the way our production comes out. Also, I will be posting pictures
and/or videos from our day of shooting soon!
Location is a big part of our
two-minute film opening. Originally, we wanted to have the main protagonist
wake up on a roof of a building, but after some thought, we realized that it
would not be the best option for that is a difficult location to find.
After the roof idea was shot down,
we had the idea of having the character wake up in a beaten down, old building.
Guste knew of a place in a city about an hour away from here, Wynwood. Just
like the first idea, this idea was shot down due to difficult location. Wynwood
is a long drive and if we had to reshoot anything, it would be a process to go
back there.
After much searching and a little
bit of luck, we found the perfect location. Lucie’s dad works in a warehouse
about 20 minutes away from where we live, and he said behind the warehouse,
there are train tracks that are never used anymore. We thought the train tracks
would be a perfect location to shoot our film opening because it would give the
sense of isolation that we wanted, yet also being close to home. So this is the location we decided to use.
