Production Blog: A Day of Surprises

 If you thought my days before were long, today was the worst yet. Today was a wild day. When my day began, the first thing I did was get ready for work. I had work from 10:30 AM to 4 PM. My shift was nothing too long. It left plenty of time for me to film after work. I got home from work at around 4:30 PM. Immediately after I get home, I begin my homework. After working on a few assignments, I worked on my college application. I do not want to go too far from home, so I apply to schools within my state. Finally, after completing my work, I began to film. I started filming in order of appearance. I started with my first scene which is a scene of me in my bedroom showing my face. This scene was not difficult to film. It took a few tries, and I ended up choosing the one where I thought I looked the best. Next, I filmed my waving scene which is a simple wave to the camera. The next scene I was going to film was my car scene. As I was heading to film the next scene, my mother stopped me and told me I had to get ready for a surprise party. I was getting so close to finishing my filming at home.


Unfortunately my work had to be stopped to attend a party.

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.
