Filming Take 2


 This is to further explain our filming procedure.  To further explain the second scene we had to be careful. This is because in the scene the swingset was very old and unsturdy, so we kept rocking back and forth. We had to make sure that the actor was safe and secure and the set didn’t collapse on us. We managed to get about 5 seconds on the swing set which was all we needed to fill up the space in the video.

 The third scene we had to discuss where were we going to film. We had to insure that the place could be seen by the pedestrian and the bully. Well keeping it partially true to what was drawn on the storyboard, so we decided to do it in the parking lot. I explained the difficulty filming the sixth scene, but there was also complications on the fall. The complications were that we had to think about the future scenes and as I mentioned making sure he wasn’t injured. We had him pushed out of frame so the viewers could no longer see him which helped solved all our problems.

I explained the seventh and eighth scene but it’s not all we had to do. Other than what I have already explained we also had to plan what the bystander was doing, and his actions when he saw what was happening to the protagonist. Had to determine how we would convey the emotions we needed to get our points across. 

Scene ten also provided some trouble for us. This is because there was only three of us so only two people could be in frame at a time. This was a problem because in order for the scene to work the way we wanted we all had to be in the frame, but we managed to do it. We had to make sure that the person who was pushed and the spot wasn’t in the scene. We just had to walk more from the initial spot, but not too far that it would seem unrealistic.

The backup

Image
 When we were looking through our footage we realized that some of our outside scenes were a bit grey. All the clouds were blocking out the sunlight which caused us to try and use different filters to try and add more colors to the scene rather than letting it look bland and greyish. Another problem we saw/heard when we replayed our footage was the wind. The wind was blowing quite hard, hard enough that we could barely hear the actors speak. We had to reshoot those scenes because the other scenes became unusable. The cameraman had to film on the opposite side of where the wind was blowing to try and block out as much wind as possible. Another problem we faced was the cars and people. We were filming at a park so a lot of people were, so we tried to talk as loudly as possible to try and drown them out. We were able to drown them out, but we were still able to hear them in the film. It was okay because it just made the film look and sound more realistic. It would be weird to be in a ...

Genre research Drama

Image
  In this powerpoint, we were assigned to research a specific genre and analyze the specific conventions and to recognize what makes this genre different than others. To begin, in the drama genre, the different types of lighting used where low key lighting and high key lighting, usually to show the mood in the scene. Common angles included, but were not limited too, low angles, with common movement being reverse zoom, and tracking. Conventionally, costumes depended on the setting. While a drama filmed in the colonial period would likely depict women with dresses while a more modern drama would likely depict women with jeans and a tee. Elements of drama included suspense, foreshadowing and a consistent theme.    Finally, we researched that dramas usually have some type of score, diegetic, non-diegetic, and incidental music.  What we realized when researching drama is the reoccurring themes which makes the plot more predictable and repetitive however, dramas have varie...

Genre Discussion

Image
 For the past couple of days, my partner and I have been discussing what genre should we do. We couldn't choose right away at first because we had to discuss the pros and the cons of each genre. We had to choose out of thriller, drama, and action. (3) The first genre we had was the drama genre. The drama has  stories with high stakes and a lot of conflicts. They're plot-driven and demand that every character and scene move the story forward. We  both worked on this genre when we had the genre project, so we both had some knowledge about it. The pros of this genre are that we had the basics of it down, so the research could be kept to a minimum. This genre best fits the pitch that we choose in our earlier discussion. The cons of this genre are that some of the common things found in drama we might not be able to recreate. Things like costumes or have makeup. Other than the smaller details drama seem like the best choice out of the three. (8) The second genre we discussed w...
