Character head shots/Tweets/Website tweaks

             After the filming process was in completion, then came the work being done for the characters. With the film also comes different forms of media which must be touched upon in the process. With the media link accounts and our official movie website, I needed multiple picture of my character. The first picture started as my profile picture for my movie website and all four media accounts, the idea for my main picture sprung from kidnapping and was transformed into a man who was tied up and having cried black tears taken in black and white. This process was for our website as we needed to show our audience a picture which correlated back to the film. For the profile picture came the idea behind our painting, the painting resembled the most important item in the film, and due to the fact that the prop I used was my own design I decided to take a picture of my re-created painting. These touches are being worked upon and edited so as it being processed and posted may come by the time of editing my film so expected in a couple of days. Once the website pictures where taken, i'd save the pictures and edit them to use on my four social media accounts. My next step I took was getting the right headshot for my character. Jason and the monster are both considered the two characters in my film so they both need head shots, however with the monster the final suit for it hasn't been fully detailed, but Jason has. With the outfit for Jason figured out, I grabbed my camera and took multiple head shots of my character, yet again these wont be posted on social media until fully edited, however there will be a tweet to explain the process. I needed to have headshots for both characters as that is what is done in the professional film industry. Once my suit is completed for the monster I will have his pictures taken and edited, then have a tweet to explain the process behind that for my social media accounts. With the reason behind the editing of the headshots, it's due to the fact that it being professional done takes time so it being used with an iPhone camera it needs to be edited to look as real as possible for authenticity. Now about my final process and steps when completing this film is the tweeting process, my tweets are being recorded on paper and are going to have an explanation as to why they haven't been posted on the same day as the movie process. Twitter is having issues posting at the time of creating these headshots and extra details with the websites, so once the editing has been complete the tweets will be published with both the pictures and a description of the hold off due to artistic conception and technical difficulties. I wanted to have both the pictures and tweets together once finished so it will be done in the following days, but for now each tweet is being recorded on paper and states the process which was completed today. As far as the editing goes for the pictures, those will be and are being worked on today and possibly finished by tomorrow. The steps into making it as real as possible is tricky as having more time spent on a professional is annoying and could be rather done by the student to create a work of art. My own materials are being used and Noam who is the monster will be credited as the performer for the monster, all is going to be tweeted and touched upon in the following days.

Genre choice of film

Image
          My main genre was horror which is what i wanted my film to be based behind. I always loved horror as a child due to the thrills and chills you get while watching those types of movies, which is something i thought i can capture in a short film. Horror has many aspects to it, including music, sound effects, lighting, and jump- scares. All these aspects are key, the sound effects are what made me truly interested in it behind the fact that many sounds are created by random objects by a mic, for say a loud bang/ thunder is created by a loud hit to a mental trashcan, or bones crunching can be a large amount raw pasta broken at the right time. It just makes it a lot more fun to create your own sounds with objects you could find at home. My film itself is a film based on a character who wakes up alone with a task to find an object before time runs out. The horror aspect is behind the evil spirit which torments the character while he searches for this missing item. Lighting is anoth

Props revise

Image
           Today's blog will be about my steps to regather certain props for my film. Now this film is still in works from given spectator comments as well as my own personal opinion, so changing the props was necessary in the final film. The certain mistakes which played through the first take of the film came as not getting the correct clocks for the hallway scene, using the wrong version of blood, and getting a new mask/costume and painting. Now some of these weren't mistakes, however it was and will be improvements with the final week I have to work on this project. Getting straight into it I came across parts in my film where I knew it could have been better, both in filming and features. The hallway scene came to a surprise for me as I thought my work was perfect, but as I took a look back the clocks just weren't doing it. So as I mark down on my phone certain items to find while school ended I began the search for the perfect medium sized wall clocks. I checked multi

Editing process on Laptop Pt 1

Image
                The of editing of my end scenes as well as my pictures for my characters was being done on my phone. Now comes my first step/process of editing on my computer using editing apps. For these editing softwares, I decided to use two which were free and able to be accessed on my laptop. These two editing apps are called, "Imovie", and "FilmoraGo", however Imovie is the main one I used. I decided to go with these two since they were free and both were apple product editing softwares. In the future I may come across some type of software which works better which may be stated in my up coming blogs about my editing process. For now these work, they are simple and take clips and do as necessary by cutting them and inserting transitions from scene to scene. I kept Imovie, since my phone had the ability to access the app and transport over the edited clips so I went from there. My beginning process was trying to start on the editing of the first scenes which we
