The rain didn't stop us!

Our second-day filming!! The last I've spoken we had ended the filming day with all major scenes filmed and the only thing being left is the title. We decided to leave adding the title scene during the second day of filming because of time arrangements. We were rushing for some of the scenes to the second day allowed us to redo those with the same lighting and location. With this, we were also given more time to add more details to our story and production. 

Being an actor I was given some directing vision in a sense. I was allowed to voice some opinions that I thought would help the film more. From the directions I would walk or what other actors could possibly say to each other. One thing we wanted to add but wasn't sure how at first was foreshadowing. We wanted to add that eerie feeling to enhance the thriller genre. I think the other actor's conversation embodied that perfectly. Another thing I loved I was able to do is improve how I moved within scenes. I spoke a lot with the direct kai a lot during this process. There is this one clip I absolutely love and it is with Lucia and Mia are running and soon stopping for a break. When filming I suggested Kai maybe have an over-the-shoulder shot and make the camera follow my head while I turned. The scene came out beautifully and we opted to keep it.

A part of the day that I loved was the weather! It had rained both days so the park had a gloomy atmosphere which only helped the film. This made it run smoother since it matched the first day of filming. That also wrapped up our second day perfectly and now onto editing!

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...
