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.

Production blog: Multiple Exposure discovery

    So its been a while since the last update and things haven't gotten very far but there are some positives that have happened. We were able to pick a location that satisfied most of our needs with out the hassle of needing permission to film and be on park grounds. We thought to see if we could find more actors but it was harder than expected. Seeing as everyone would have to have their own transportation and our filming would have to fit into someone else schedule. This made it harder on us but we kept searching.       So we had someone but the plans ended up changing when that person was no longer available. We understood that sometimes circumstances change. So, now we are all just planning a day to set up and film. This consist of making sure we have the camera set and all phones charged. Also having battery packs for the camera ready.       We definitely can't forget mask for covid-19 protection. An lastly, its key to having a fir...

Commercial Blog: Nike Vs. Under Amour Grand Finale

 I thought I would be fine using the Nikkon D3200 camera as this laptop has an SD card slot but the problem I had was that my SD card didn't fit in the slot. During my editing is when I realize that I have another clothing brand appearing in the finished ad. So I took the opportunity the next day to tweak the film so that it finally shows the images of both brands in one to let others know that this is a collaborative promotion. The reason is that it allows a certain message to be shown in the ad. So from my imagination I was able to sum up a few last-minute moments and since one of the actors doesn't own anything from the Nike brand I made a little tweak to allow two different brands to co-exist in my ad.       The two brands I choose are Nike and Under Amour. I would leave it alone if I don't see the logo but I can recognize it on one of my actor's shirts while editing. I plan to dub or add music to the ad to make it fun while the ad continues. Each actor put ...

Genre Research: Romance & Drama

Romance is defined by intimate relationships. In some cases, there may be a twist but at the end the main point in films is about the pursuit of love. Romance is not only its own genre but can also be seen in other genres such as thriller, Comedy, Drama, etc. Common lighting usually seen in romance includes high key lighting in which makes the seen more cheerful due to the brightness and warm colored lighting to create an inviting and mellow mood. A close up shot is an example of camera angles that are seen in films.  It allows the audience to examine the characters face to see their feelings and emotions. Another common camera angle seen in romance films are over the shoulder shots. It captures the face expressions and body language.

For example, a musical that has romance incorporated into it includes singing and it helps exaggerate the feelings the characters may have.  Sometimes there may be a sou...
