Production Blog: Background Scenes

 I was just able to start my filming now. I was not able to get any filming done before because of a few reasons. I was pretty much booked on time so I never go the chance to film anything. Luckily I just had the perfect opportunity to get some really nice shots. I got the shots I wanted to use for the opening and credit scenes. They were the once I discussed earlier about going up to my roof and getting high angle shots and wide shots. There was a really nice sunset yesterday and that was the last thing I needed to be able to get these shots. So right before the sunset I had to get everything ready so I could go up there. I had to get the ladder and some good shoes to climb up there. Also I decided to use my moms phone since it has a better camera than mine. So when the time was right I went up to the roof and got to the position that was right for the shot. I've been up on the roof plenty of times before so I was pretty comfortable. If I wasn't, taking a good shot would have been a lot harder. I took plenty of videos and pictures. All from different angles and places to. This way I have a bunch of different choices. I also took different types of shots too. My favorite was the panorama (the one below). I took some slow motion shots as well that turned out nice. These are just a small portion of all the shots that I'm going to need to take throughout this project. So I still have a lot of work to do.

 Hi, my name is Oscar Koenig, I am 15 years old and live in Fort Lauderdale Florida. I live the life of a pretty average teenage boy. I play football for our school, play video games and hang out with my friends. Id like to see myself as a bit of a thrill seeker though. I enjoy things like cliff jumping, rope swings, sending backflips off of 45 foot trees, that sort of stuff. Also lets not forget all the sports, I have played at least 10 different sports growing up as a kid. Football, soccer, tennis, baseball, and a bunch more. Those  are what make me who I am today. Today is actually my firsts football practice of the season. The last time I played was February. I hope I remember all my plays, because I am a wide receiver. And there are a lot of plays and formations we need to know by heart. What also makes it harder is that our coach has to make signs so the other players don't know the play too. So we also have to memorize the signs as well. Its actually later now and I fin...
