Final Filming Blog

 


    Today was a simple day of filming. I received my pass from my media studies teacher and headed to the softball field. I was not required to bring any softball equipment to school and dress up in my uniform. Once I reached the field, I to clean up the sets. The gates to the field were open and I had to rake the field to get rid of foot prints. The shots I filmed today contained a pan shot of the field and I filmed a few extras in case a shot wasn't to my liking. I had to wait around a bit because a cloud blocked the sun making the field feel dark.  I waited around 10 minutes for the clouds to clear and began my filming process. The lighting I received was great and showed the field perfectly. During class today I worked on redoing my story boards. During filming process I wasn't able to get the shots that I need so I need to go with my backup shots. I finished my shooting and put everything I used back in its spot. Once the field was back to the way I found it, I headed back the the classroom to use my storyboards to put the film together. As I mentioned before I had to replan my storyboards to match up with the new series of shots. My original storyboard didn't match up with some of the shots I collected so I decided to start fresh. Im proud of my shots and I didn't need help filming for majority. Overall Im excited and happy with the shots I got. Im hoping in editing I can make my vision come to life. I didn't a minimal editing today. I just lined up my shots in the order I needed them in. Next blog will about my editing journey.

Change of Plans

As the title states, there has been a change of plans in terms of the product of my final task.  I will have to cut the total amount of script to a minimum.  I have changed my aspect of what I want to create and I am leaning more towards a euphoria aspect. In euphoria contains flashbacks with a monotone voiceover. According to an article written about the producer's opinion of the show, " The look and feel of the show are as superheated as adolescence itself. The colors are bold, the score and needle-drop songs are loud, and the camera rarely sits still when it can glide, swoop whip-pan, or spiral. Every episode starts with a speedy prologue outlining the backstory of a recurring character shot, cut, and scored like a “previously on” recap of someone’s life. (Levinson wrote all eight episodes in the first season and directed five.) The medium-size town in which the tale is set was mainly built from scratch, the better to allow for expressionistic lighting and acrobatic vi...

Title Design Research: Thriller 30 days of Night

Image
  1.      How many titles are displayed during the opening sequences to the film? Which ones? Ni- Nine Titles were displayed in the opening sequence of 30 days of Night. Stated in the article on watch the titles," The audience is confronted with a sequence of highly disquieting images that cross-dissolve or fade to black. Details of torn and tainted photographs, northern lights, shadows, a bloody tooth embedded in a thick layer of ice and references to the Alaskan wintercape. Brian Reitzell‘s haunting score greatly enhances the discomforting atmosphere." The titles in this opening sequence are simple in all white, however in all capitial letters to state the importantance. I highly like the simple design of the titles and the design of the 30 Days of Night title.  2.      What connotations do the images carry?  - The images carry t he discomforting atmosphere with  Details of torn and tainted photographs, northern lights, shado...

Commercial Group Blog

Image
                  I have come to the decision to create my commercial alone. On short assignments such as the commercial, I prefer to work alone. I have found when you have a group on individuals on an assignment like this one, there is too many ideas and voices to be represented. Another reason I choose to work alone is so I am accountable for my own work. This eliminates the stress of having to make sure everyone submits and does their part of the assignment. I feel when I work alone, I'm the one to have the control over the assignment and can raise the standards. My exceptions for projects is set really high and working with people that don't match my work ethic and standards adds more work for me then what's needed. My personality matches with working alone. I'm an over-achiever and like to challenge myself to the best work I can turn in. In addition, I'm very creative and do not like to turn in the average projects or assignme...
