The Start of the Final Task...

     We finally began our first day of filming! We didn't accomplish much, however we did start on the project. The scenes we began on were scenes 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. The settings for these first scenes were the airport, in a "taxi", and in a hotel. The first scene was shot in the airport, we had Ella and I going through the airport as well as "checking in" for our flight. The scenes in the airport were particularly difficult to film because I have bad social anxiety that I had to overcome. It was very awkward having to explain to staff that we were filming for a project and it was even worse for normal people trying to simply get their check-in done. The plane scene we haven't shot yet because that requires a lot more work and time and we were limited on time. For the plane scene we have multiple ideas, but one we will most likely go with is both of us separately shooting scenes in the planes ourselves on the way to our vacations for Spring break. This makes the scene look better because instead of us having to make a fake plane background, we simply record ourselves on the plane and merge the scenes together with transitioning camera angles making it seem like we are on the same plane at the same time. The plane scene adds more depth and intricate detail into our film and makes it more interesting for viewers. Another scene we did shoot was Ella and I outside of the airport waiting for our taxi, we look like tourists and we are waiting by all the busy cars and people ready for our "vacation". For the taxi scene, we recorded taxi's going by and then had a friend pick us up so it would look like we were in the taxi when in reality that wasn't the case. Lastly, we filmed the scene of Ella and I pulling up and checking into our hotel. In our process of the first day of filming, I would say that the most difficult part for us was transportation, and dealing with the awkward social anxiety of being filmed and constantly having to re-film in front of many people. We both have very bad social anxiety so it was definitely a struggle to make the scenes look natural. Something that came very easy to us during filming was remembering our lines and making the scenery very obvious so the viewers would be able to tell where we were. In conclusion, the first day of filming was amazing, but definitely something to get used to. I can't wait to shoot the next one and get more scenes done!

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

 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 ...
