CAP Hollywood Weekly Reflection-- The Hole

Hello all!

For my group's CAP Hollywood project, we're making a short film about a guy trapped in a metaphorical hole. It's not really a hole, it's more like Groundhog Day or something, where the guy has to get up in the same way, eat the same things, and do the same routine over and over and on and on for infinity. He keeps trying to escape, but with no luck. He starts seeing monsters and creepy things, and he gets chased through the woods, only to come to a cliff. It ends when he realizes that the only way for him to leave the hole is to kill himself by jumping off of the cliff. Or something to that effect.

I think our film is going really well. We've had a few challenges because we had to change the location from a house to a tent in the woods, so we're having to rethink a lot of minor details, but we've managed to work everything out. We're almost done filming, with just a few more scenes to shoot.

This week, we filmed the majority of our project and got a lot of editing done. Specifcally, we created a roughcut and then fine-tuned the opening sequence, found music and sound effects, and done a few voice overs from the beginning.

The next step of our filming process will be to shoot the nighttime scenes and the scenes that we're changing a little bit, as well as our last scene. Then we'll need to start editing them.


I'm pleased with our efforts so far and I think that we have an optimistic-looking future for our project. I can't wait to see all the finished films. I'm really excited.

On a side note, to all, say, five people who read my blog regularly, I'm going to do a more interesting post next weekend, most likely. I've been really busy with makeup work because I'm sick and shows and things, but all of that is slowing down. So yeah! In the mean time, enjoy this academic tidbit and I'll see you (metaphorically, like the hole), next week!
