Today me and my group began to decide on what we will need to shoot our film. The main setting of our film is backstage a film set where the main character breaks the fourth wall realizing where and what he's doing. With this being said we needed to acquire film equipment to not only record but to use as props in our film. The first thing we were thinking to get was a green screen. The green screen would be used as a disruption in the film where we will have it start glitching as we have the main character realize he is acting in a sitcom which was told to be his real life. Next we had to find lighting. For lighting the main purpose is to focus it on the fake 90's sitcom. In these sitcoms there are high contrasts with very saturated images. To achieve these semantic codes we are going to use ring lights with yellow panels to portray the warm look on the image.


As an editor it's going to be my job to add vintage effects onto the video to add to the 90's aesthetic. Lately I've been looking for Final Cut Pro editing packs on the internet to make this effect happen and I was able to download a few luts, effects and transitions. After reviewing the downloads I've learned new editing techniques such as how to include technical codes. Adding motion blur during scenes can add dynamic excitement to a subject.  Luts on the other hand, can remap an images value by stylizing the color scheme to achieve a desired look.

Editing: CLIP LENGTH

 One of the things that re surfaced my brain while editing was the effect of clip length. Earlier in the year we learned how clip length can effect the audiences feelings. Longer clips were more prosperous and calm whereas shorter clips created a sense of anxiety.  After remembering this I ensured that the ending where the main character realizes her state of distress would have shorter clips combined into a montage of her trying to escape. I did this by using straight cuts and short clips with changes of perspective. As stated previously the scenes were shot repetitively in different angles for me to choose while editing. But rather than choosing I just incorporated almost all of them to create a state of anxiety within the audience. This was the end product.... Implementing the shot of the "Mother" tapping her fingers on the table and then a dutch angle view of the clock symbolizes that the main character is running out of time. This is shown in the clip right after when sh...

 FINALE - SUMMARY Overall the process of making a film was interesting. We began with a plan that was abruptly changed constantly throughout the film process. My teams creative nature helped us achieve the end goal of a spectacular film in an efficient amount of time. As an actor and editor of the film that didn't limit my role on the team. I had my fair share of participating in everyones role which helped bring the ideal film come to life. But when I had my teams back they had mine. The director made sure everything was completed on time whereas the cinematographer helped by recording hard chess scenes and bringing her vibrant ideas. This collaborative effort helped us develop a great film with deep meaning. Our film was originally going to be about a competition for a job position but that changed into a horror/drama on a woman being killed by her lover. As the chess game goes on the victim keeps making bad moves referencing back to her bad decisions in real life.  The film...
