Production Blog: Big Performance Day

 Today was a whole lot of productivity. The wrong type of productivity though. I woke up early in the morning and ate a nice breakfast. I had a big day ahead of me. Filming was not in my mind. Today was my band’s MPA. I was going through a lot of stress from the moment I woke up. Once I got to school, I never got the opportunity to film. First thing when I got there was head to the track and run laps. After running laps we did continuous run throughs until we left. There was no time to record anything. After we left school we went to Westin, Florida where our performance was held. We stayed there for a few hours and received a superior rated performance. The performance was exhausting but it was worth it in the end. When I got back to school it was around 10:00 PM. Far too late to record anything. My crew was not ready to record with me. I headed straight home afterwards. Once I got home I had no energy left in me. It was time to call the day a failure and hope for the best tomorrow. Tomorrow I have work in the morning so afternoon filming would be ideal.

Production Blog: Finishing Our Task

My partner and I decided we need to focus and get a huge portion our filming done. We watched over the scenes that we already filmed and were not impressed. We thought that we could easily do better. We decided that we should start over fresh. This time we entered more determined. Wanted to feel as if we were real actors. Once we started over, we tried to implement all our conventions. Our costumes were straight from our closets. We utilized different angles. We showed different camera movements. We even added the use of sounds. Our main prop which was a doll was designed to look like one of our actors. We wanted to make it seem as if the inanimate object came to life out of thin air. Scene by scene we got different shots in. There was one scene where the camera was moving following two characters. The person holding the camera alternated between the characters in the film. There were scenes that had to be shot twice due to the camera shaking in the hands of the cameraman. There were a...

Production Blog: Trying New Things

 After watching our work we compared it to other opening scenes. In popular horror films there are plenty elements that give it the suspenseful feeling. We decided to use another popular editing application. "iMovie" is exclusive to Apple devices. Although we have not used it in a long time, it is not something we are new to. We went through the same steps of editing on iMovie, but used different transitions and fonts. We found that one of the applications offered more effects than the other. We used the application that we found offered better effects for our genre. The application with more sudden transitions. The one that had a better color scheme. The one that was better for editing in general. We compared both of our final tasks. One of them was obviously better than the other. We ended up choosing the task done on Capcut. We felt the work done on it was more professional. This task would be more entertaining than the task done on iMovie.
