Production blog: Filming and editing

 Today we met up tho film. At first we were worried that we weren’t going to be able to because Isabel ended up having practice. Practice didn’t end up taking too long though, so we were able to still meet up. Originally we wanted to meet up at three, but practice didn’t end soon enough for that time. 

We got to her house at around 4 o’clock PM but didn’t start right away. We looked over the scenes we already had and how much time they already took up out of the two minutes we needed. We needed to re-shoot three more scenes to complete the film, but we only ended up shooting two. The reason we didn’t film the third scene was because we figured we didn’t really need it. All of the clips we had already put together added up to about a minute and around 45 seconds, and we couldn’t cut from any of the other scenes. So we just worked around the scenes that we already had and changed up the script a bit to fit the gaps.

After filming we took a short break and ordered some food. We decided that we could also do some editing before we all left. We didn’t really do much editing though. All we did was add the missing scenes and edit out parts that had my voice before the scene actually started. At first it seemed like the time wasn’t actually going to make it to two minutes, but then we remembered that we had to include the black screen at the beginning which the bell ringing. We left Isabel‘s house at around 6:30PM. Now we only need a bit more editing before our project is finally done. I am glad that we got to film today because if we didn’t I feel like we would’ve been a bit behind. I am going to add the music on my own, which is really the last part of the editing as well as final touches. That part is easy because I already have the audio for the music saved so I would just have to upload it onto clip champ and cut it down to two minutes.

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 plo...

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 m...
