The Breakup Production

 The first day of production was very easy, there were only a few scenes shot. My partner and I had to film the clips in different orders because of the scenery in some clips. A lot of our planning got changed such as the location of the clips and some of the angles. The scenes that were supposed to be shot at the beach were changed to being shot in a hammock in my backyard, this was because we couldn't find transportation to the beach that day, also with shortage of timing and my scheduling of work and my partners scheduling of after school activities, it was difficult to find a good day to film at the beach. Since we had to film outside at my pool, we also changed the activity to make the project more appropriate and less personal. The activity was changed to the couple reading a book on the hammock and having a friendly conversation. Another scene that was changed was the placement of the couple getting broken up with and blocked. I had to way to film at work because it was very busy, so I had to improvise and change the scenery to my house. Lastly, what was changed was the scene of the couple hugging and the man disappearing, it was difficult to get the shots to be a seamless transition so I am currently working on a scene to substitute that particular scene. During the first day we shot the breakup scene, and two of the closeup scenes on the phone. We also had time to go to the mall parking garage rooftop and film the dancing scene on the roof, lastly we filmed the scene by the pool and the car scene where the couple argues. I had a video camera and a tripod so that the setup of the angles would be done well and the camera would not be hand held and shaky. As the scenes went on, the filming got easier but it was difficult to get the perfect scene. We had to do so many reshoots of scenes that it became insanely stressful. It was difficult for me and the other actor to be serious in some of the scenes since we don't have acting experience but there are areas in certain scenes that I can use that looked good. The process of filming was very fun and it was a good bonding experience as well, however the time it took to film was a lot longer than I expected it to. After constant reshoots of our scenes we finally finished and I went home to transfer all of the footage onto my computer, afterwards my partner had to leave to do schoolwork and I had homework to finish. It was a very stressful process to get everything perfectly right, however we got a lot accomplished this day. The next time we film, we plan to film about 3 or 4 more scenes. The difficulties with filming is definitely transportation to different places to shoot, outfit changes, acting difficulties, and reshoots. However despite all these problems, I genuinely believe we accomplished a lot and had a great day of filming.

Close to the Finish Line

 It's practically that time! Ella and I are so eager to say that we are nearly finished with our film venture! We ran into certain issues on the way with every last bit of it. Despite the fact that we actually pushed through and finished the altering. We definitely disapproved of adding the music and audio effects. Sadly they were not connecting as expected to the film. We attempted numerous choices to inspire it to work and every one of them fizzled. We then, at that point, started to overreact a smidgen. We looked into certain recordings on youtube to help out us. We at long last observed one that was useful. We continued back to altering and it at last worked! Sadly that wasn't all. Then a few clasps vanished while altering too. We recuperated them thank heavens. We were somewhat worried without a doubt over all that had been going on. After we figured out how to fix everything, we were extremely feeling better. This was only a minor knock that we expected to survive. In the...

Group Final Task Blog

Image
 Hello! Finally there is a new project! This calls for new people, new ideas, and new opportunities. For my final task project I will be working with Ella Wills from my first project. At the beginning of the week as we became introduced with the project itself, we had a group of four set up with two of our friends, we then decided it would be better to work alone because it is much more convenient and practical. The concept of working on huge projects with friends can be difficult because you don't want to work with strangers but also don't want to be distracted by your friends. Even through this could possibly be a future issue or worry, Ella and I work amazingly together. We have known one another since we were toddlers and we grew up in close proximity to one another with similar job schedules, school schedules, etc. This project will be easy for us because we are very hard workers and we can 100% accomplish what is thrown at us. Ella and I have yet to come up with any ideas...

Title Research: Suicide Squad

Image
 The last movie that we decided to research was the very well known movie Suicide Squad. This movie was a huge movie in 2016 and was loved by everyone all around the world. The closing title sequence contained  how a movie or television show presents its title, key production elements, and cast members using visuals and sound. They included the director, the actors, screenplay maker, screen story maker, the producers, editors, and other important figures in the making of the movie. This is important because it gives acknowledgement to the people who contributed big parts into making the movie. The images produced in the title sequence for this movie were many shots zooming back into different scenes and important places. The title sequence is very colorful and is a zoom out through jail cells, guns, villains, skulls, weapons, etc. The title sequence is relevant to the movie because it has all things that are widely used in the movie. The sound for the ...
