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.

First Day Filming Blog !!

       Today was the beginning of filming for my new balance cleats commercial. I came dressed in my uniform and had all the gear I needed. When I arrived I received my filming pass and then headed off to the softball field to start filming. My first problem I ran into was how I was going to film while being the actor. I found propping my filming device against my helmet at the low angle I needed. I first scene I did was the POV shot of my tying my cleat laces the dugout. The next scene was a shot of me running the bases. I ended up having not the film all the scenes on my storyboard because I would have ran out of time in editing. My favorite scene came up to filming and I have been looking up to filming this. I again filmed this by propping my phone up from two different angles and editing the timing later. A girl saw me struggling filming the running portion of my commercial. She kindly asked if I need help doing a tracking shot and that how I filmed the tracking ...

Title Design Thriller Are You Afraid of the Dark?

  1.       How many titles are displayed during the opening sequences to the film? Which ones? - No titles are shown during the opening sequences of the film until the very end in which a match is lit and the name of the film appears. Are You Afraid of the Dark's opening sequence was presented on Art of the Title. Having an impactful title sequence is essential. With an ever-changing cast and a new story. The opening titles were the glue that held the show together a touchstone that not only helped inform the tone of the series overall, but also reminded young minds eagerly craving more than Saturday morning cartoons that they were in for a scary good time.  Stated on art of the title, “The brief was to get a feminine font with a hard edge. After playing around with existing fonts, we found that Bodoni had a really nice feel to it, a stylish vibe and some nice detail. But even then it was distinctly feminine. So the solution was to rebuild it." 2.  ...

Makeup time

  Today I filmed the intro portion for my opening scene. The scene consisted of the make up done on my face and the location was in my kitchen. In the scene I had to set up my camera and then I use my moms phone as the decoy phone or prop phone. I had to capture the name showing up on the phone so I switched my contacts name to unknown. Next I called my mom‘s phone from my phone and shot the overhead view of the phone on the counter. The next scene was me walking into the kitchen mainly in loungewear.  Capture that aspect I just wore a hoodie and sweatpants and picked up my phone like I would for any call. My next task I had to film a shot of me going up the stairs.  This proved to be a challenge due to the angle and my stairs when you’re going up you’re surrounded by two walls. Yeah next thing at the farm is the out of the house shots. this includes the truck shots, and the boat shots this morning. This is going to prove a challenge because I might not have any and every...
