Filming: Retakes and Mistakes

So in the process of filming we had to adjust the camera a few time because we had problems with the focusing on the takes it took time to get it right. I eventually ended up switching the lenses so we could film properly. Different ideas on how to get our message into the film started to come into mind so I searched around the park an found different things and when things started to come together we had little inconviencs such as when we filmed the hugging scene we were both coming from the same direction at first so I helped alter the scene so we were coming from different ends at different times to show that we crossed paths at the right moment.

I learned the 360 moved from Idline. while getting some great editing tools and skills to use later on from Rohanna while improving on acting with Nishayla as the main characters in the film. Learning to agree and work on things together as a team while coming to an agreement on things to create the best production was a key tool that I feel we were able to establish. After things were discussed there wasn't much left to do so filming took a half a day but we were able to get it all done with a day dedicated specifically to this.

Overall filming was a team effort almost everyone once used to film scenes and everyone was in a scene. No matter how big or small we all participated and I made sure that things went as planned considering I missed a gala that I was supposed to a attend to spend it filming all day with them. however, I enjoyed every moment of it and wouldn't change the day for anything the girls taught me something new in acting filming and editing is was all an amazing experience and I would definitely do this again with proper time management. since during this period i was still trying to catch up on the assignments from other classes as well as missing blogs.

Research: How to Make a Short Film

This educational video gave me a better understanding of how to make our own movies. While viewing, I discovered that there were some topics I already understood, such as when they were discussing film making. However, the "How to Make a Short Film" video provided me with a wealth of new information that will aid me in the production of our short film. This video includes production and post-production advice from a film specialist. One point that stood out to me was when the expert said not to do it if you can't pull it off. Another suggestion is to play with the audience's emotions and minds. The expert emphasizes that it is either all or nothing, and that nothing should be done halfheartedly. This reminds me of the phrase "Go large or go home," which means "Go big or go home." The film expert explanation reminded me of this statement because it indicates it's all or nothing. Adding needless elements to a scene because they appear t...

Short Film Research: ( Migrants/ Drama)

This short film was 8 minutes long and the plot was pretty easy to figure out basically there were polar bears being pushed out of their home lands due to global warming and exiled from brown bear territory being left to fend for themselves on the ocean. In the beginning of the short there was a climax point where the baby polar bear fell of the ice and into the water from the ice breaking and the mother jumps after the baby. This was a great way to start the film it immediately introduce the drama factor that a film should have lots of heart racing and anticipating moments. There was a conflict with the polar bears and the brown bears over food and the was another great way to help deliver a message. Although it is animated the film didn't use and real dialogue just animal noises such as grunts and snorts and well as instrumental music in the background. It reminds me of how lonely many of us are. It can be interpreted as a political manifesto, ...
