Lights, Camera, Action!

I finished filming!! I went back to Markham to film again, but this time I dedicated a full day to filming and I think it went well. Sadly, my camera died, but I got my main shots done and I think I have enough time to make the film. I stuck to a small spot away from people, which was difficulty because, there was a huge biking event of some sort and booths were set up throughout the entire park. I ended up finding a nice secluded section of forest that had a lake in the center which was perfect for filming. 
The only issue was that some voices and boats can be heard in the background of the videos, but with inputted audio, that could be solved. I've already played and organized all of the footage and inputted them into Premiere Pro, to start editing. I have the larger shots where I want them to go and now i'm just going to add in the smaller ones to fill in the space and add extra time. After that I am going to start trimming the rough edges so that the video flows. Once that is done i'll start editing the footage and audio (color correction, warp stabilizer, music, sound effects, graphics, etc.). Im fairly happy with how the shots came out, many of them are composed nicely, with only minor errors such as: shaky video and blurriness. 

This is a raw capture of one of my shots, to demonstrate the video quality. In the sunlight the shots did not come out this nice, but they aren't awful or unusable either. I can also correct some of them with color grading. 
You can also see the scenery here as well, which I am pleased with, as it adds that abandoned and dismal feel, that many of the zombie movies include. I think I captured that well, so thats a plus for me. I also got some shots of just the scenery so that I can include it in some of the blank spots. 
This is only the section of the film that comes after the first scene, which I filmed just before the forest ones. That part includes the main character waking up in a scare, as a zombie bangs on the door. Then the main character gathers all of his things and makes a radio call to his mother, who is in the city. I haven't recorded the audio for this part yet, but it is essentially a conversation between the whereabouts of the two. Then after the call a long shot shows the character leaving. This is where the forest shots will be played, acting as the journey to the city.  The main focus is actually on that scene so, the forest shots, wont have a lot of appeal to action and or adventure, with the exception of the a close encounter with a zombie that sends the main character on a run. 
Editing is pretty much my next step, and although I am looking forward to it, I am also dreading the load of work that it takes.

See you next time!
