End Scene re-film

          As the day began, I began to look over certain scenes from filming from the past couple days. Within the time of looking over, I came across certain mistakes which were posed in the final end scenes. I started to edit the scenes which were the shortest and do certain cut downs with the longer scenes and came across a few errors in my final scenes which I filmed. The first of the problems was the camera angles and the characters facial expressions. In the last few shots including the monster and the character reaching for the painting, my mid shot was to far down and included the knees up which wasn't what I was going for. The facial expressions of the character also seemed to be pretty forced as instead of having a scared face, the actor seemed to have a confused facial expression. These few detail were easy enough to fix as the whole day I was able to film the last scenes. I began the scenes with a new approach, I kept the lighting the same and had the facial expressions change as Noam took multiple takes. Each take had the exact angle I was going for and it came out great for those two shots. Of course the process for those shots which weren't the only ones took a while, due to the fact that lighting was changed a bit, and my dogs had gotten in the shots. Continuing from where I left off, the next scenes which needed fixing was the living room and hallway scenes. The living room scene need to include more blood as the amount portrayed in the earlier shots just didn't give it that horror aspect I needed. For the hallway scene the full body tracking shot was on key, however the end scene where it was the POV to the watch wasn't centered as possible. To start the fixing, I grabbed the "fake" blood and began to use my body as a canvas, putting the blood on my hands and spreding it around. I made sure not to fully cover the surfaces so that the items would still be noticed. The living room scene was still a bit of a trouble as the hight is a problem for the filming since the POV is directly over the character. We decided upon using a ladder, we didn't anticipate the hight in which the ladder provided, so the camera shot would be a bit shaky. We finished the shot with perfection as Noam handled the camera perfectly we got the shot we wanted. Next few days are going to be the process of social media tweeting the process and the editing of the new shots in conjunction to the old ones. I'm planing to have the editing process be finished within three days to have extra time to edit my social media accounts.

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
