Script Revision

-
After recording a solid day of footage, our team didn't become indolent but continued to find ways to better the next day of shooting. One of the main ways to do this was revising the script. Our originally script was very broad and bland so after many discussions, we had agreed that our actors needed to memorize a script so we could get shots quicker on production days. This will inevitably help with our time management during recording. 

In this new script we began to give our characters names and exact roles.Maya is the name of the main character. Aries is the name of her best friend, who is portrayed by our companion Anai'yah. Luna is the character that our friend Mikayla portrays as Maya's sibling. One of our friends, Brendan, will probably portray the father, and Melina will play the mother, Beth. Originally, Mikayla was supposed to play the other mother, making them a lesbian couple, but after some thought, we decided to go with the normal gender assignments that would take place in an 80s sitcom.



New Script:


In the script we state how we want to start with an establishing shot of the house the sitcom is being recorded which was inspired by full house in their Film introduction. 

Example of Full House Introduction:
Revising the script allowed us to learn how a script doesn't only contain what the character says but can include details on what actually occurs in the film and where characters should be placed. Doing this rather than lone words allows the script to be more detailed and useful while recording.

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...
