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.

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.

Genres We Would Like to Research

       There are three genres we would like to do some research on before moving forward. Action, horror and drama. The reason for me choosing these is because we definitely have a feel of one of these types of genres being what category we set our short film to fall under. We know more about the other genres and saw these types as expanding my ind in the world of genres. We typically stick to romance and comedy kind of movies.        So, We made sure to do something out of our comfort zone and try to do something a little non traditional. We feel as though this is going to be worth it and that we may find something we truly like for the idea of my film this year. Hopefully these genres turn out to be the perfect kind for our film. We will use these to help me make a decision later on but this research will definitely be a good mind opener for future references. It should also make for good examples to go off of when its time to find inspiration t...
