Production Blog- Filming but Not With Me


Due to having such busy schedules my group soon realized that we are not on track for filming. The plan was to film Friday. This didn’t work for me though since I had to volunteer that day. It also didn’t work for Angie but I’m not sure why. This left Lili and Hannah filming all alone that day. I wanted them to finish up the movie since they were the only ones needed for those scenes. The scenes I’m talking about are the one with the ones where a car is in the parking light with fire surrounding it aswell as the bulletin board scene. There are more scenes left to film but they aren’t long. Those are the scenes with Hannah, Lili, and I all together. It was planned to take place at Starbucks and the H&M but I’m not sure if that will happen. While Hannah and Lili were filming I had my first day volunteering at the hospital. It was pretty boring but I was able to get some work done while I was there. They weren’t able to finish the scenes we needed though. I left the yarn at Lili’s house so she could use it to film the bulletin board scene. I haven’t seen the video yet so I’m not sure how it went. Either way I think it will look fine and I’m happy that they did at least one scene. I do wonder how Lili was able to print the pictures. That day they tried to do the car scene by getting one of our friends Kaitlyn to come by with her car. This didn’t work though since there wasn’t enough time for them to film. I’m not sure why but I’m guessing Kaitlyn had to leave.

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

Image
  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...
