Production Day 4: Finale

-

 Overall, our 4th day of production was completed through us recording almost all of our scenes in chronological order of how they were presented on the storyboard.

We expanded off the pre written ideas and innovated new shots with more meaning. While doing this we implemented the rule of thirds within each shot making sure they were all visually appealing. This was done by recording the shots with an in camera grid.


Rule of Thirds in each shot:



As we shot I also insisted that we shoot the same scene from different angles. This was so that while I edit I will be able to intercut each shot of the same scene and keep the audience attentive and have the film introduction be eye catching. 

Lastly a part I didn't mention is the way we incorporated mise en scéne through the actors attire. I previously spoke on how the background helped give a 80's sitcom aesthetic but the clothes worn did as well. The garments worn were very vibrant in colors which created a high contrast from the earth tone background. This attire was similar to the clothes worn in Full House which was our inspiration for our sitcom section.



FULL HOUSE EXAMPLE:

After finishing recording we can reflect and see that we implied the general concepts we learned to our film introduction.

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...
