Last Day Of Pre Production

-
As our foundation portfolio came to a conclusion and we turned it in to start shooting our film, our teacher told us we had to emphasize the fact that our film is actually a fiction in a fiction. Our original plan was to record our fake sitcom characters pass around a script on camera but due to that not being feasible, we had to come up with a new idea. 

Now due to me having a YouTube channel, I'm used to doing a lot of green screen work. So as I went looking for another way to emphasize the fiction in fiction, using a green screen was my first thought. The idea I came up with was having us record a television with a remote control turning on the tv and then the first show to appear being our made up sitcom. The only way to properly conduct this would be to use a green screen. 

Now I looked up on YouTube many green screen ideas that included Tv's and semi relatable content that pursued my vision and the ideas below are what I found.

In both of these examples the Tv is being turned on and the green screen will allow me to put a keyer effect over the footage and make it replace the green screen. My group cinematographer and director requested that the footage gets another grainy effect added on to it as well to make the video seem older and give it the 90's sitcom feel they desired.

 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...
