Production Blog: All about filming angles

 Today I decided to go back and make my angles in the opening sequence of my film look more professional. Since I don’t have any actors available at the moment I thought I should use my time wisely. I first went on YouTube of course to watch tutorials on certain ways to capture perfect angles in my phone. While watching those video I discovered using a wider screen such as my iPad resulted in a much better outcome. After that I then did each part of the opening sequence one by one to get the perfect effect when it comes all together. For the most part it went pretty smoothly till I got to the bathroom part. Of course I didn’t want to be seen in the mirror holding a big iPad so I had to get the perfect camera angle to accomplish that. It was not easy I can say it was the most complicated part of it all for me. But in the end it all cake together. I say this only took me about 30-40 minutes, which is great being that I never did something so strategic before. After I had all my footage I then went back into iMovie and deleted the old scenes and added in the new ones. I then began playing with the duration to get it just right. I didn’t get to put the credits on there yet but I’m still happy with the new outcome so far. I still have a very long way to go but this is all a I can do for now under my circumstances.

Planning Storyboard for my NIKE Commercial

Image
 First scene: During this scene we will be filming the Nike backpack for the commercial. The shot will be close up and will follow the subject as the actress is walking. This will be shot on the track as the actresses are walking in the gates talking to one another. Second scene: In this part of the commercial I wanted to really get a view of the Nike athletic shorts and tights. So, I will film the actresses doing leg warmups on the turf and get a close up shot as they are moving.  Third scene: This scene will be similar to the second one but instead we will be including the shirts and the headbands in the shot. The actresses will be doing upper body stretches so that way it will be easier to get a close up. Fourth scene: In this scene I will have the actresses running on the track to bring in the intense feeling that you will get from a Nike commercial showing off all the Nike gear that they have on. Fifth scene: In this scene the actresses will be on the turf laying down as ...

Comparing La Jetee, the short, and 12 monkeys, full length movie

Image
  Hey guys, for this blog I'll be comparing these two films, one which was a short and then another which was created as a "homage" to the first. Both these films are focused on a sci-fi post-apocalyptic world. The major differences between these is one is that 12 monkeys is a motion picture, and La Jetee is a series of photographs. The film helps to explain the plot which I had originally had trouble understanding, but it brings up the idea of that twist toward the end. In the movie both scenes in the beginning show a death and in both it is a character that we had been introduced to later in time. When bringing this to my short film, I can see the importance of a single scene and its impact on the story. The most important thing as well is the effect of the plot twist that can change the entire films idea and plot. After watching the video entirely it helped me realize the effect that the setting has on the film and I realized that I need to focus on creating that setti...

Editing blog-Adding music to our film

Image
 Hey guys, today we added music to our film. As I stated in the last blog we were not trying to rush the editing process. As we learnt last year the music has to be non copyrighted. Well to find our music that we used we just went on youtube. We each went our separate ways to find a sound and then came together with a conclusion. For the actual editing we just used angels laptop. Finding a suspenseful sound is not hard. Finding the right suspenseful sound can be tho. We didn’t want the same suspenseful sounds that you usually here in almost every thriller. We wanted something different. Something we could call out own. We sat down and went through youtube until we found the right sounds. We used two different sounds and made it into one to add suspense. One sound has more bass than the other really creating that feeling. Our whole purpose of doing this was to mimic what you usually  see in movies but with a twist.  There is not sound all throughout our film. The sound is ...
