Planning Next Shoot

-

 After missing out on characters in the first production, we needed to find another date to record the family shots and set the date for shots of the camera crew so we don't have another day full of B roll. We decided to record the family shots the following Sunday to give our actors enough time to tell their parents and get their lives situated. This left us with the camera crew shots left to worry about. We decided that our camera crew shots was going to take place in a TV Production class in our school. 

The TV Production classroom we are shooting in: 


This means we were going to have to find a time where we can have our actors

1. All show up to school

2. Be able to leave class on that day 

3. Get the teacher to allow us record with no students in his TV Production class

4. Get the students back to class without any issues with security

So our Cinematographer and Director came together and made a schedule on which days we have specific classes on and which days we can film.The blue representing days with periods 5-8 and the green representing periods 1-4. 




This was important because it allowed us to be able to communicate on which student actors had which class on each day. Doing this gave us the ability to choose a specific day and class period get this operation done.  We went with Thursday.

An overall lesson I learned from doing all of this was planning and communication is important when getting things done. Planning out shooting days and communicating within our group gave us all time to get ready for the next big shoot and not repeat prior mistakes from the last one.

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...
