Planning: Refilm

As we begin wrapping up the last of our film. We had to look through all our footage. We checked for any errors or things we could've improved. We found some mistakes, so we tried to refilm it to match up with the film. 
We searched through all the takes we took of each scene and sent them into one specific place. We did this so we both could have access to our films if any of us need them. We called each other so that we can go through the videos together. We discussed what videos should we keep and which ones we should refilm. The others we believe we didn't need to include, so we delete them. We then sent the videos again in a separate group chat.

After this, we went back to filming. We refilmed scenes three, six, eight, and ten. For scene three I thought the audio was a bit mumble and we couldn't hear the characters too well. We refilmed and tried to get the microphone closer to pick up the character voices much clearer than what we had beforehand. For scene six my partner said that it didn't seem believable. That the acting was so forced and he didn't think it fit within the film. We refilmed it until we thought it was satisfactory. Scene eight was when I had to slam the door shut. This scene was a bit difficult filming because it's not a regular door. It was hard trying to slam a door that the lock wouldn't connect to. I had to keep redoing the scene until we finally had a loud enough sound for it. For scene ten throwing a fit didn't seem natural for me to do, so I didn't know how to do such a thing.

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...
