Another Filming Cancelled Blog

 My group couldn't film and still most likely won't be able to film this week, unfortunately. We are planning on filming on Saturday or Sunday. Jeni says that we can try on the weekend instead of weekdays as it will be available. By filming on the weekend instead, we allow all our groupmates to not have any plans with school or other restrictions. Another positive of filming during the weekend is that our parents most likely will be free to for transportation. During the time we have had of not filming my group has been discussing ideas again. One thing we are still figuring is which doll we want to use. Jeni has several dolls and withly, naiara and I will check them out and pick the one we all agree on. We are aiming for a mysterious and creepy doll to fit our story as a prop. Another thing we are figuring is the music in the video. We are unsure what will fit the videos theme and vibe.

Comparing Le Jetee, the short, and 12 Monkeys, the full-length movie

Image
 One thing that 12 Monkeys does is make it seem very dull on purpose. The short film uses a narrator with a very monotone voice to show this off. Also, the movie uses still images and adds voiceovers or other sounds to them after. This once again achieves the same goal, being to make the film detached. Le Jetee uses certain transitions to acquire a "dream-like ambiance" which helps to contrast the clean shots when characters are conversing. The film also uses audio to great effect and adds it a lot of important and disturbing imagery to amplify the visuals. An example used for this is the audio of a heart beating for a dramatic and intense scene. This helps the audience feel the intensity of the pictures being shown as if their own heart was racing. Another example of this is a slick and romantic score for a positive effect on the audience, once again enhancing the images. One thing the short film does is dip into multiple genres which makes the film more diverse and appealin...

Editing for Short Film Begins

Image
 Today we will be starting editing for the short film. Editing begins with software to make changes to the scenes we shot. While I am not experienced in editing, I can still give advice and recommendations on edits. Also, I can discuss what I want to see being edited in the film. Besides that, my group did the editing itself. Due to this, I will be discussing what they did and how I am involved. First of all, my groupmates who edited have experience in editing. This was the reason why they edited the film rather than me. Also, they have experience in different software for editing. Despite this, we ended up staying primarily with iMovie. I suggested iMovie for many reasons. The main reason to use iMovie is that it's free, allowing it to be an affordable option for all. It's also accessible on all devices. iMovie can be found on laptops, phones, and tablets. This makes iMovie the obvious choice for editing the short film. iPhone also has good editing tools in itself, allowing a ...

Production For My Short Film Continues

Image
I'm back to filming! This time we continued filming in the mall. It was the same location as last time as we were familiar with it already. We needed to be more careful with the scheduling of our filming this time. The filming location was a mall but unfortunately, it closed before we could get further into production. This filming day was different as we got to continue and further develop our short film. Before leaving my house, I checked the hours of the mall closing time to ensure the same mistake would not be repeated twice. I set a specific time for everyone to arrive at the location to film but we all arrived a bit later than intended. Luckily, this was barely a setback for us and we started right away. Because we chose to film on a weekday after school, the mall didn't have as many people as it would've on another day. While filming, I said my lines and acted out the scenes to the best of my ability. I messed up a few times and we needed to redo a few scenes until I...
