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 first aid kit on deck for the day to come and much more. Although we didn't have the day set making sure everything else was in order for the day was all that mattered in the passing time. We were able to prepare ourselves and get at least our basic props and tools ready for the film. I believe I was able to get another camera but I wasn't able to so we stuck with what we originally planned to use.

     It was a lot to mange but everything was turning out okay. I realized in doing the storyboard and acquiring props some things we wouldn't be able to access. So we made modifications to how we would show those scenes. We changed all the hospital scenes and made them more simple. So basically a hospital scene wouldn't be needed.

     It was decided to leave the audience is questioning at what is going on at the hospital. Yes, things from what is on the storyboard changed somewhat however, the overall picture is still the same. I knew that in the beginning I wanted to insert a cross fade. The cross fade would play a major role in what the movie is a representation of. In wanting to have the cross fade I had to figure out how to do that part on my own since that idea was mine. No one knew how to do it (including myself). I was able to find manipulations from an app called blend editor it works very well and gave me the exact look I wanted for the cross fade it was beautiful and I was happy with the outcome I got from a practice photo.

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, ...
