filming blog

 My groups second filming day was on Saturday, December 5th. I was not able to make but my group mates were able to and they filmed that day. The filming location was the same. The same characters except 2 new actors. The two new actors that appeared this second day were: Jayda M and one of our friends, Maria Paula. I was not able to make due to the reasons that our filming schedule got a bit changed because some of us were not able to make it the days we had planned so on Saturday, I had an appointment. My groupmates filmed the last scenes. The lip syncing was inserted into the music video. The scenes that were filmed while I was gone were the scene where Jocelyn catches the boyfriend with another girl. Also, Jocelyn walking around with her friend and the dancing scene at the end. Throughout the filming we made quite a few mistakes and re filmed several times. There was a lot of cutting throughout the editing since we had re do many scenes. There were a few camera movements done. One of the movements that was used a few times in the music video was the tilt movement. Another movement was the pan movement. This type of movement was applied when the girl (Jocelyn) and the boy were sitting down at the table and the camera moved at an angle towards them. The overall filming experience went quite well. We learned new filming techniques and also editing ones. Overall, we had a lot of fun filming this new type of film.

Resuming the editing process

Image
Continuing with our film, my group and I have have started editing each of our scenes. There are a total of 60 scenes. Each one of us has at least 12 scenes to edit. Even though there are a few scenes yet to be shot, we have begun to edit the scenes that are completed since there are quite a few. As for me, I have 12 scenes to edit. Beginning with the sharpening knives scene and ending with the mother making tea from the kettle. The first scene that I edited was the knives scene. This scene consisted of a close up shot of the knives indicating that the evil mother is prepping to get on with her sinister plan. Therefore, this scene has a great amount of tensión and suspense as the audience is viewing the dangerous weapon the mom is using for her plan. Which is why I made the lighting of this scene be low key lighting to créate the suspense within the scene. I also made the scene a bit in slow motion to emphasize the mother sharpening the knvies. As for sound, I inserted an eerie creepy ...

Editing process

Image
As the filming journey continues, my group and I have still not finished filming. We have about 3 scenes to film to be able to complete the movie. The scene where Emily and her friend go into the house, the scene where the mom makes Emily fall asleep with the tea, and the ending scene. As I begin my editing process, I am currently still looking over the scenes that I have to edit. I am not able to edit at this moment due to the fact that I am in a different country because of an emergency last minute trip. As I am looking over the scenes, I am writing down ideas to make the film more creative. Also, I am writing down what needs to be edited, for example, what needs to be cut out from the scene. One of my scenes is where the mom is sharpening the knvies. In my opinion, that scene needs to have a bit of low key lighting added along with creepy eerie music since those are dangerous weapons and it leaves the audience at the edge of their set. The next scene is the scene where Emily and Jan...

Filming Review

Image
 My group and I have taken a pause from filming. The last day we filmed was Tuesday, March 23. The next day we film will be the last since we have completed most of the film. To better prepare for our next filming session, I am currently reviewing my role and lines. This way, it will be easier not only for me but for my group. This will help us to not have to reshoot the scene multiple times and take more time than needed. In the scenes that are yet to be filmed, my character has many lines and the acting has to be adeuqate. The scene where Emily drinks the tea, she has to faint and act weak. Practice makes perfect so the more I practice my lines and character, the more unchallenging things will go. Also, I have been looking into the story board my group and I completed. I have crossed out or set aside the scenes we have already completed in the storyboard. I have marked the ones we haven't. Thing I noticed while at our filming sessions was that we tended to look back at the storyb...
