Filming day 2 Blog

For the second day of filming, we observed more than we shot. After reviewing the shots from Thursday, my group and I thought it would be best to go back out for more footage. It wasn't all the clips that needed to be done, so we did it periodically. We went back outside to the original spot of filming. The area, at this time, was filled with students so we had to go with our backup plan. We went back to the classroom and filmed there. I, again, was the second actor so I didn't have to film till a little bit later in the period. Instead, I helped set up the area for shooting. The concept for our commercial didn't change so we were still capturing a student's life. I was helping set up the computer and area to look like a student's desk. I laid out assignments from other classes and set up a word document for the first actor, Lucia, to write on. Once it was my turn to be filmed, I got to listen to more music and use features on the mac. Since it was the second day of filming, I felt more comfortable. The "acting" felt also more natural in a way.
I talked with the editor of the commercial, Jacob, more about the background music. Again the music I used in my shots was not going to be used in the final project. We decided to go with Passion by PinkPantheress since it's a calm song and is schools appropriate. Jacob, the editor, was about to download it and place it in the commercial. After shooting, I went around the areas we filmed and helped pick up all the props everything. Since the next class, we'll focus on the editing, we left most clips untouched.

Our reviewed film!

After a month of shooting, re-filming, and editing, the project is almost complete. We're relieved and grateful that the project is almost finished. For us, the entire process of making the film was pleasant. Although some areas, such as filming, proved to be more difficulty. Our schedule gave us the most trouble because everyone was so busy. We fixed it in the end and it worked perfectly. The initial planning, storyboarding, and filming were, in our opinion, the most enjoyable aspects of the project. It gave us a lot of creative liberties and allowed for fun. Here, everyone was free to express their ideas, and we all knew what to do. The editing, on the other hand, was not as straightforward. Unfortunately, the video could only fully be edited and assembled by one of our team members. The rest of us couldn't help as much but observe and tried our best with what our groupmate was doing. A re-evaluation of the writing and storyboard will be needed but will come another time. Thi...

Genre research: Thriller

Image
Thriller is a genre that focuses on catching the audience's attention by inflicting suspense or anticipation. A commonly confused with the genre horror, the thriller genre is drastically different. While Horror focuses on scaring the audience and prioritizes the main confrontation as the climax thriller does otherwise. In the Thriller Genre, its main goal is to leave tension and leave the audience on edge. There are many camera angles used in the thriller genre. For example, the most common filming angles are closeups or extreme closeups, low and high angle shots, canted angle shots, wide shots, and more. What is en scene is used can drastically change a film. In thrillers typically low-level lighting, props, and little to no makeup are essential. This is to make the film more believable for the audience. To pair with believability and to add emotion when editing thriller films pacing is key. Knowing the right moment to use fast or slow pacing can change the feel of a scene. Recen...
