filming blog



On Thursday night of December 2nd, my group completed the first day of editing. To start, working out a schedule with my group was very difficult. aja has volunteer activities on Monday and Wednesday, and she has work on Friday. My group mate Sophia has work on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. i have Lacrosse practice for the school team on monday and wednesday and work on Saturday. With the restrictions of school included, I only had Thursday night, Saturday and Sunday morning. Since the beach portion of my video was surrounding the sunset and having the actors show as silhouettes, I had to film backwards. To get my filming done before I had to start production blogs, I had to film the sunset portion first. we all decided to film the beach shot first. this part included an over the shoulder shot in the car of my group mate, filming videos of the sunset out the window. On this filming day, I did run into a few minor issues. For the car scene, I had to drive slower than usual and had to find an opening in the street to prevent having other cars in the shot. Once my group arrived at the beach, there was a lot of walking required in order to find an open area where nobody else was sitting, and where no one would interfere with our shot. Someone else in my group filmed the picnic blanket scene as my other group mate and I laid down the picnic blanket. There were some issues with the wind in this scene, in regards to keeping the blanket on the ground. After this, I did not run into many other major issues. I then laid out the picnic foods and opened the chips and cookies to get ready for the next scene. I stood up the camera on my aluminum water bottle to keep it stable so all 3 of my group members could all be in the shot. My group then filmed the picnic shot of all of the members eating and conversing among each other, and after many tries, I found a shot that all of my group mates liked. Lastly, I filmed the final shot of all of my group mates and I dancing, my group had no problems with this scene, and it was my personal favorite as well

Thriller- The Suspense is Killing Us!

Hi there! The next genre up on our list is none other than the chilling thriller, and if you're willing we'll tell you all about it. The thriller is the suspense without the gore, the scares without the disturbing visuals (Midsommar (2019) this is directed entirely at you), and the creep factor with the fact that you can probably still sleep after. As with before, my team and I will now be guiding you through the essentials of any good thriller and seeing what makes it work. Camera Angles, Movement, and Shots: In any thriller, it is the director's utmost intention that they still frighten the audience, albeit minus all of the gore that comes along with the horror genre. This can be achieved with the help of some trademarked jump scares, but any good cinematographer knows that uncomfortable camera angles and shots are the way to go. Putting the audience in a position that they cannot escape from, much like the subject themselves is probably one of the most effecti...

for our last day of filming, on march 27th, the group had to refilm a scene at the park. this was because the day we filmed it, it was too windy. you couldnt hear the audio. everyone met at my house again, and i drove us to the park location when we got there, we shot the nessisary clip. after that, we got distractes and we played on the playground because we had extra time. there was also a beach at the park, so we went and put our feet in the water but me and michael fell in trying to catch a ball. because we were in out fimling clothes, we had to immediatly leave and drive home. once we got home, me and micheal had to change into dry clothes and quickly dry out filming clothes. this took about 45 minutes, so in the mean time we had lunch. once the clothes were dry, the group was able to film the scenes that we didnt get to the last day of filming. this included me sabrina having to put fake blood on micheal again, and me and celine doing his makeup. once this was done, i had to do m...
