Production Blog: Decorating

My group continued the filming process on Saturday, November 26th. The shooting process continued with capturing scenes of the actors decorating his tree and shelves for Christmas and placing decorative pillows on the sofa. These scenes were shot in our apartment. This was the perfect time to continue the recording process as all the actors were present. As a result, 3 out of 12 scenes were captured for the music video. In preparation for filming the scene, we set up the director, camera, and lighting. Before filming her other three scenes, I had to make sure she was dressed comfortably to continue filming. So I was able to do my best when working with the team to shoot those scenes. I also had to make sure the crew was ready to go ahead with the shoot and check on the actors to make sure their costumes were clean and clean. It's for When shooting the scenes, I had to be careful to shoot from different angles and keep those angles consistent. There was some background noise during the recording process, but the songs my team chose will be added to the edited music video. Therefore background noise is not an issue. The original shooting plan was to use the tripod that came with the ring light. Instead of using a tripod, I decided to take pictures with my cell phone. Due to the different heights of the actors, throughout the recording process the camera had to be adjusted according to how high or low they were holding the phone. All actors performed their scenes very well. For all three scenes he only needed one take. In total, the whole process took about an hour. However, there is still more shooting left before the CM is completed. There are still a few scenes that need to be shot before we start editing. I am ready to continue recording and so is my team. I can't wait to see how our music video turns out.

How to make a short film

  "Write what you have the resources for" is a powerful adage to follow when creating plots and screenplays. We can only write with what we have we are limited in what we can do due to the lack of cameras and microphones for filming. I know it takes time to edit and pace a movie since you only have 5 minutes, you have to be careful about how much to photograph and how much to cut. Overshooting is the best option, but you need to make sure the plot     doesn't need to be fully fleshed out to make sense. There needs to be     some balance, every scene needs to contribute something towards the ending, there's no room for fill-in-the-blanks. Also, the movie isn't very predictable, but it could use a Groundhog Day-type plot, which makes this difficult. While adhering to the theme of the story, there are bound to be     scenes that the audience doesn't expect. Theme determines the plot and must be understood by the audience. You also need to maintain tone ac...

Intro Blog: The Nerves

Hello, it's me again. I prepared myself mentally  for this particular project. I was completely nervous about this project before, but now I think I'm ready. I'm a little worried, but overall I'm calm. I'm worried that my job will be unstable, that something will go wrong when I shoot, that the image will be problematic. I may have some questions, but overall I'm looking forward to filming and getting back on set. I was nervous before because I had no experience creating videos like this. Now that I'm working alone, I'm even more nervous. This time, no one gave me constructive criticism or stood out. After talking about it and learning more about it, I felt calmer and less nervous. Because I knew I couldn't get lost. Instead, I wanted to be prepared for whatever was to come. After subsequent projects I gained some experience that I will definitely use for this project. I learned how to properly edit, how to make camera angles and movements look beaut...

Group Blog: Going Solo

I’m back and ready for something new. I decided to switch it up and this time I chose to work alone. I have tried to work with others before and although it wasn’t bad I feel as if I want to go at my own paste. Something I didn’t enjoy with working with someone else was having to depend on them. I rather be working independently and that way I know I’m doing the best I can do. Working by myself can benefit me in many ways, working alone allows me to take full control and make decisions without relying on others. I can develop a strong sense of self-discipline when working independently, as I’ll need to stay focused and motivated. I have the freedom to set your my own schedule and work at my own pace, which can be a big advantage. Working alone gives me the space to explore my own ideas and think outside the box without any external influences. Achieving tasks and reaching goals on my own can boost my self-esteem and confidence in my abilities. Working independently allows me to learn n...
