Filming Research

 


Over the last few days I have been completing many things for my project. The part that I have been dealing with the most is film. It is very important to film when you have the opportunity to. With filming you already have an idea of what your scenery is so when you see it that’s when you should film. What I mean by this is that if you want a rainy scene, if it’s raining don’t wait to start filming because you don’t know when it will rain again. You could always wait but you have due dates. The reason I also put film over editing or other things is because you can always do that at home. Plus it’s smart to make sure you have all your material before editing. This is not mandatory, but it just makes the most sense. Say you were to run out of time and you can’t complete anything else, would you rather give the full opening sequence unedited, or part of it that is edited beautifully? You would most likely have a better chance submitting something that is complete. This has definitely been a different experience for me. This project includes more camera movements and angles than we have used before. I am studying my genre and learning how these things are done. Although we have finished the research part of this project, I still go back every now and to make sure I’m staying on track. One thing that usually results in me going back for research is new ideas. I often get new ideas on how to enhance my film. When I get these ideas I want to make sure that they still represent my genre. I feel that more people should definitely do this. It would leave less room for mistakes.

Incorporating Perspective

Image
  Perspective is the way you see something. With this being said, everyone has their own perspective. People interpret things differently than each other. An example of this would be the famous saying,” Is the glass half empty or half full?” This is asking how someone perceives life. If the person sees the glass as half full they look at things positively, if they see it as half empty they look at things negatively. The catch to this is there is a set amount of water and both answers are right it just identifies your perspective. Perspective is often used in films of all genres. This enhances the film and expresses many different feelings. When you see the inside of someone's head in cartoons or flashbacks in movies, that is perspective. In my film I have decided to take on the challenge of including perspective in my opening sequence. You will be able to hear what the main character is thinking. This will be difficult to portray but that’s why you study and learn the material you

Filming Techniques for my Music Video

Image
  During the filming of my music video I experience something totally different than with the last two projects. This filming process was organized into three different parts. It is because of the multiple settings that I separated it this way. The first section is the beginning of the video. In the beginning we start off in the park. These scenes weren’t too difficult to film. Except for some issues with lighting. I had to find a way to get a good angle and still have the background I want. This took some time. Also, since this is the first few scenes I was still figuring out how I wanted to do the filming. As far as setting up the camera. Since I am in the video this was especially hard. I found that a good solution would be using a stand, kind of like a tripod, and a timer. This allowed me to start the camera then get in place. I was contemplating whether to just make one long video and then separate it in the editing section. This would actually require more editing than to ju

Planning my Starburst commercial

Image
        For my Starburst commercial I will be using a variety of props. I will be using a pack of Starburst, a pack of Starburst minis, and a light box. Due to all the things going on in the world right now, my resources are limited. With this being said, I will be using prior knowledge to create my own light bow. This is very important because It brings attention to the item you want. I will also be using a box of some form to decorate. This will be the setting. During scenes it will be changed so that it can fit both settings. The box will consist of construction paper, grass, people like figures, and toy cars. My commercial will be filmed with a miniature world that is meant to look like the real world. One the candy is eaten it will transform into a parallel universe. Everyone knows that things don't always go as planned. Therefore you should always have a backup plan. My backup plan really differs from my first plan. In my backup plan a person is waiting patiently in their car
