Adjustments: Production Blog

 

After the shoot was successful, my groupmates and I started reviewing the footage we shot the day before. This process took about 30 minutes to screen all the footage and finally decide which footage to use for the editing process. Next, we decided on the order of the  music videos and which scenes to include. Overall, this wasn't too difficult, as only a few scenes were deleted. 

 However, this process revealed a major flaw in the production process: two mistaken scenes. Those missing scenes were in  the music video section where a friend of the hero was unknowingly knocked. At first, this issue seemed minor, but as I continued to watch the video, I found that it didn't meet the standards I expected. Shortly thereafter, I decided that the best decision was to  reshoot the badly shot scene. To that end, I quickly contacted all the actors involved in the affected scene and agreed to shoot on the backup day. At the end of the 

 backup day, an actor appeared and  began planning how to reshoot the missing scene. After thinking a little, I decided to shoot the attack scene first because it is simple and quick to shoot. That's exactly what happened, and after two recordings, my group took the perfect shot and they avoided the same mistake of shooting the recording again incorrectly. 

 Next, the attacker began  filming the next take, chasing the hero's friend in  the hallway. As expected, this shot was much harder to shoot because it was much harder to make a more compelling argument than expected. However, after taking about 10 times, I thought it was a good take. This process was tough, but it produced much higher quality footage than previously shot. This process also helped me to build  deep connections with the actors and  understand how to connect with them. 

 Overall, shooting this project was very difficult, the reshooting process was difficult, and it was  the biggest obstacle I encountered in any project. However, remake was a difficult process that I enjoyed by staying positive  and gaining knowledge of how to avoid these mistakes in the future. This project has had many challenges and difficulties, but in the near future the shooting process will be completed.

  First Scene The main male and female character will enter the clubhouse room as camera tracks them from the front. In this shot the camera will be eye level. The characters will be picture wearing trendy streetwear. This scene will correspond with the instrumental opening of the song. Second Scene This will be introduced by a fade in where the characters will be relaxing and watching TV. This will be from the TVs perspective in which the main characters will be exaggerating their reaction to the content. Third scene The two main character's will be shown playing pool together and having a good time when the girl has to go. Then the two characters will agree on meeting for dinner later. This will all be shot long in order to capture all of the characters without any camera movement. Fourth Scene The male character will walk the girl to the garage say their goodbyes with the scene concluding with the door to the garage closing. This shot will be a medium long shot that follows the ...

Genre Re-Adjustment: Project Blog

Image
   Our group realized minor flaws in our film as we continue through this production process. The biggest issue that has come to surface is that our genre isn't represented as well as we thought it was going to be. I did not think this was going to be an issue at the start. In fact, I thought the mystery genre was the perfect fit. As I am watching how the production is unfolding, it seems as if our problem is that we can't necessarily get the feel of a true mystery film in our 2 minute clip. This means, our film's conventions don't completely align with those of a real mystery. I still believe that it can fit the genre, but giving it the title of a mystery-thriller would be more fitting. The camera angles and movements used in our film are those typically used in mystery films. For example, we use extreme close-ups on objects to provide a mysterious feel about them. Also, we use low and high angles to show superiority and inferiority in different characters. On the othe...

Our Pitch

Image
A person receives a briefcase and is unaware of its contents, unbeknownst to him he is being followed.          This pitch has great potential because of its ability to harness the unknown and be action packed in a short period of time. The pitch also conforms well to the settings we have available due to our access to the urban setting. Furthermore this pitch doesn't require props inaccessible to the group making it a great candidate. However, this pitch struggles with a lack of dialogue and it will be difficult to facilitate conversation throughout. I believe that despite this the pitch's positive aspects outweigh the negative ones because its exciting and is mysterious. A natural disaster knocks out the power in a city, forcing an evacuation but for one man something goes wrong.     This pitch has potential for success because the story presented has a lot of versatility and can go in many ways. The pitch also works well because it adheres to the am...
