Actual Changes Made...

  Sometimes life can be very unexpected. My groups attempt to refilm on Sunday was one of them. The set plan was for Brianna, Lili, Angie and I to film extra scenes on Sunday. It was a kind of iffy plan from the beginning since there was going to but school the next day. Yet everyone still had hope. However, Angie ended up having to go to Cancun. This means that she would not be able to film on Sunday. Now it's just Lili, Brim and I left to film. Filming was only supposed to last about 30 minutes and start at 7:00. Yet there was another bump in the road only hours before it was time to film. My mom is an on call nurse and at around 5:00 she got called in to work. This means that I would have no way to get to Lili's house to film. I was very dejected at this news since I wanted to help out as much as possible. Brianna and Lili did go along with filming though. Our movie was too short so they filmed scenes to go in between the killings. It turns out that since I got killed first I wouldn't have been really needed during this filming at all. One thing that was supposed to get changed during this round of filming was that part where Bri scrapes the picture then throws it. Unfortunately, it didn't work out so the scene stayed the same. It's not horrible but I really did want to fix that scene. Overall, I wanted to be there to help yet Lili and Brianna did a great job on their own.

Final Task

    Finally, the video is done. I would've never thought that making a 2 minute movie would be this hard. I really had to use all the skills I learned throughout the year for the project to turn out how it did. However, the experience itself was a mix between stressful and fun. There were many unexpected twists and turns. From spring break to travel plans and just general bumps in the road. Almost everything that could go wrong did. But there were also  good moments where we were able to come together have fun and film. In these moments everyone got to showcase their individual filming and movie skills. Overall, the process behind this movie was crazy, hectic, but also really fun. I can't wait for you guys to see it!

Short Film Research: Checkpoint/Thriller

  Regarding the camera angles, movements and shots, this short film has plenty of them. For instance, it includes a three-shot, showing the family members in the car, to make the audience familiar with them and somewhat get attached. Moreover, it also contains a wide shot, showing the famil y’s environment to show the audience where it takes place, and to enhance the fact that there is no one else besides them and the officers. Additionally, the tracking shot of the dad getting into the car is being used to highlight his emotions. Finally, it includes a low angle of the officer that makes him seem superior and overpowerin g.   When it comes to sound, this short film uses dialogue, to build a conflict between the family and the officers, which helps reach the climax. Another type of sound is incidental, which strongly enhances suspense and drama to make the audience feel on the edge of their seats. Additionally, the ambient sounds present play a huge role when it comes to t...

Short Film: Thriller

  The movie contains a lot of hand-held shots along with two-shots. For instance, there was a scenario where the protagonist was having a realization that something was off with a women's husband.  It documented the manner the man was looking around cautiously and worried.  These specific shots can be used to show the audience what is happening in the action as it is happening and to simply illustrate the movements of the characters. The utilization of cutaway shots was also common. For instance, the protagonist woke up and the shots cut from him to a man making breakfast demonstrating his alertness. Cutaway shots are used to create tension and suspense. These shots are quick glimpses of something that is not immediately relevant to the main action of the scene, but that adds to the overall feeling of unease and uncertainty. By showing brief glimpses of something that is not immediately explained, the director creates a sense of anticipation and uncertainty. This can make...
