Help film other projects?!

-

 Welcome back everyone!


So I had talked to another group in our class, consisting of Nicole, Ashley, and Vivian, and they had asked for my teams help. 

On Sunday, February 6th, we had went to 'Tree Tops Park', which was a beautiful park that I had never gone to before. The plan was to shoot a dream sequence, so Nicole had asked me to help her with her makeup. It was super fun as we made jokes the entire time.

I had met Nicole's friend Dylan, another classmate that had agreed to help film their trailer. He was super fun to hang out with. After getting ready, we had went to the park and met up with Ashley and Vivian, who brough food for a particular scene. Later Anais arrives with more food for us to enjoy in between breaks.

So once we chose a place to film, we had discussed what we wanted to film. At the beginning, Anais, Malavika and I has took photos of the filming process and gave little tips. But as the filming continued, I was asked to give opinions on their original ideas. For example, there was a scene where the love interest (Dylan), had  to give Nicole's character flowers. I had suggested to film over each person's shoulders. They really liked the idea and had asked to film that scene for them.

Later on, the group had asked me to be the priest for the wedding scene. I agreed of course haha. It was difficult to film because there was a real couple shooting wedding photos and we did not want to get in their way, and vice versa. People had also passed by us and we had to continually stop filming so we didn't catch the people in our shot. 

However, it was so much fun to film. We had laughed and never got frustrated throughout the filming process. Everyone had worked hard on their parts and had caught some really good shots for their trailer. 

Here are some photos we had taken of the process!

Lighting!

 Let's talk lighting! So, to put this out there, we do not have these fancy equipment big budget movies have to create these amazing, eye watering scenes. But we have practical and natural lighting! Natural lighting: Me personally, natural lighting is the most beautiful kind of lighting. We had shot some scenes on bright, sunny days so it captured a beautiful aesthetic to our film. Even inside, we had used natural lighting in one of our scenes where my character was in the kitchen/dinning room. This is one of our biggest and most important light sources!      Here are some photos of us using natural lighting: Practical lighting: You don't have a huge lamp that can shine the brightest light for your scene?! ...then use practical lighting. From computers, to desk lamps, even ceiling lights; all are used to help set up mood and aesthetics for each scene.      Here are some photos of us using practical lighting:

Title Sequences!

 Hey! Welcome back.  The use of title sequences are nothing new. Having different clips edited together at the beginning of the movie is the best way to subtly introduce the audience to what they are about to experience. To be honest, I personally skip any intro sequences that don't raise my arm hairs, or sends a shiver down my spine. I enjoy title sequences that makes me excited to watch the film/show. Here are my 5 favorite title sequences and how they contribute to the over all show/film. Scott Pilgrim vs The World I could go on and on about how wonderful this movie is and how much detail was put in. At the beginning of the movie we are introduced to Knives Chau, who has just got into a relationship with our protagonist Scott Pilgrim. She comes over to the house to introduce herself to Scott's bandmates. The title sequence begins with her watching the band perform one of their songs. The weird, stretched out living room accompanied with animation that is timed with the beat...

Five Video Shot!

    Hello there! In the past few classes, we talked about different types of camera angles and shots. We discussed how they are used in film and how they help advance any feelings the director might want to include. For example, an extreme close-up shot is commonly used to help explain what a character's feeling. After being taught these techniques, we were asked to create some example shots of our own. With the help of some friends, I was able to experiment with different camera shots. Establishing Shot: This was the first shot I recorded. Similarly to many movies, I wanted to take an establishing shot to show the area I will be recording all my videos, my school's garden. Just from this shot alone, the viewers are able to tell that it is taken place during the daytime, with sunny weather.  Close Up: While looking around to shoot for a close-up shot, I found this pretty butterfly. With a close-up shot, I was able to figure out that it was a wooden butterfly due to its te...
