Filming Blog


So far our group hasn’t started filming yet. We decided to wait until after this blog to film. There are a few reasons why we weren’t able to start filming right away after our planning. There is a pretty short window between the last blog and this one. It would’ve taken a little more time to get all of the cast together and agree to film on a certain day. So we decided to film in a couple of days. We took this time to plan out a little more on the backstory of our film. This was so that each scene would make a little more sense and flow easily. This made it easier when practicing the script. It allowed us to know what expressions and what investors we may have to use certain scenes. We decided that all of the scenes in our storyboard and script weren’t going to end up making it to the actual film. This was because The number of lines and scenes we have put together seem like they would definitely exceed two minutes. We also had to clarify how long each scene was going to be. Some of the scenes may end up being short takes to save time for more important scenes. We also wanted more time to go over the script. This will make it so that when we do start filming we would at least be a little more prepared with the lines. It will save us time because we wouldn’t have to stop between each scene to figure out the lines as often. We also needed to inform Isabel‘s mom about the schedule we came up with so that she can confirm if she would be available to stay at their house while we are filming. Overall it definitely makes sense to have a little bit of time to further plan to practice before getting together. We are able to work at our own pace and inform her family members and prepare everything we need before we actually start filming.

Filming Toyota Commercial Blog

  I started filming this blog on Friday, October 30th, 2020 when my mother and I went out. I figured that since we were taking the car, I could use that chance to film some of the interior features of the car that would be showcased. Because I needed my dad for most of the other shots, I waited till the weekend to continue the filming. That Sunday, on the 31st, I didn't have the chance to go out so I decided to film the 360 view of the car that would be used in the opening of the commercial. I used a long shot to show the entirety of the car exterior. I also filmed the scene that would come after the opening on that day. This scene was of my father putting a few things into the trunk of the car. On Sunday, my dad and I took a trip to the store. This was the perfect opportunity to film him getting into and starting the car. I used a mid-shot to a long shot for this scene because this shot was mainly just to introduce the car features and the whole body of the car didn't need to

Title Research: Glass

Art of the Title The opening sequence shows the production company in charge of the film. It shows the company that works with distributing the movie. Then it shows the title of the film. The film then starts to show the actors playing in the movie. The sequence then starts to name the people who helped cast the film, as well as the director. It showed who was in charge of music, costuming, editing, photography, then the producers.  The opening sequence starts off with a recap. this film is a sequel, so it begins by introducing the main character of the original. Later on, it introduces some of the other characters. It builds the moment by showing background events that lead to the appearance of the next potential main character.  The first clip of the man speaking to the girls can allow us to assume that the man has some sort of psychological disorder. The way he is acting all calm and friendly in this situation tells us that whatever his issue is will be part of the main plot. The sc

Genre Research: Final Choice

  Out of all three of the genres chosen, we decided to finally go with Drama. The reason for this choice is that a drama is simply more flexible than the others. There are so many aspects to a film that can make it be considered as a drama. On the other hand, Horror and Comedy have a big more restraint. When making a horror film, there has to be some element that “scares” the audience. Whether it is actually scary or not isn’t the point, but whether it creates a chilling atmosphere. It just didn’t really seem to fit into the prompt of our short film. We don’t want the audience to be too distracted by “not getting scared” to the point where they miss the message we are trying to send. Comedy was a little more close than horror, but again, it didn’t seem to match our story. The main purpose of comedic films is to have the audience laughing. Another, more subtle idea, would just be to have traces of humor throughout the film. However, why would we want to add comedy to a film that’s meant
