Production Blog: A Day to Waste

 Today after school, I planned to begin my filming. Although everything was in place to get multiple scenes in today, I lost focus and let the day go to waste. There are a few scenes in my music video that take place in some rooms and outside. Scenes two, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, eleven and twelve are all filmed at my school. If all went as planned, then a big portion of my music video will be filmed today. My cameraman was ready to film. My extras were ready to be in the video. Everything was ready to go but I found myself in a bad situation. After practice I found myself too tired to even film. All I wanted to do was lay on my bed and relax. Once I got home, instead of creating my scenes at home, I was left with tons of homework. Tomorrow I will not get the chance to film. I am busy with school and have a game right after. On Saturday I get the chance to film a few scenes before my performance. If I forget to film before my performance, I can film after work on Sunday. There are many chances remaining to film my video, but time is running out. My main priority right now is to get my filming at school done. I can always get my filming at home done, but there is a limit on how long I can be at school. I feel as if I am running out of time and I have to get it done. A day like this probably won't come for a while.

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.
