First Film Day: Final Film



 After having a useful team bonding day, today was different. The wheater was perfect for filming so I took advantage. At around 10:30 ish I was the first to arrive at the park. Since I live close to our film location, I thought it would be important to claim a spot before other people show up. Luckily there were lots of open fields and no one was going to get in our way. After 15 minutes, the rest of the group showed up, and we were ready to begin. At first, we were nervous and kept messing up. I realized we were trying maybe a little too hard and it seemed forced. In an attempt to fix these mistakes, I suggested that perhaps we play some football and soccer to get our minds off filming. This idea was a major success because after 20 minutes of playing, we were ready to film and the changes were evident. Instead of having forced interactions all of our scenes came naturally and flowed. We really looked professional and definitely not a high school film. After filming for an hour or two we gathered a bit of an audience. At first, I was taken aback and scared to approach the viewers, but my group mates and I built up the courage to go talk to our "fans". At first, they were extremely confused but eventually understood what we were doing. They mentioned they were watching from afar but began to get closer and gain curiosity. They mentioned that the film was nice and even offered a few personal suggestions on how to better the film. I always listen to advice even if I am unaware of the person who gave it. Their advice did not end up being added but it was helpful to hear feedback from outside parties.

1. After a career threatening injury, the former athletics superstar battles his emotions. 2. A man finds something mysterious in the woods, what it is may haunt him forever. 3. She doesn't like her moms new boyfriend, but what she doesn't know is much more horrifying then she can anticipate. We decidied to go with the first option. My group and I all admire athletes and have heard many terrible stories. We want to portray and show the true struggle with substance abuse. Showing that it is not an easy battle  but it is winnable. I believe we can make a great 5 minute film out of this.

CR:Final Film

The short film "One Last Drive" tells the story of a high school football player named Trevor (RJ) who suffers a devastating injury during training. The film explores the impact of the injury on Trevor's mental health, as well as the broader issue of mental health in the context of sports and athletes.

Throughout the film, Trevor is forced to confront his own feelings of sadness and the pressure he feels to succeed. Ultimately, the film serves as a powerful reminder of the ...
