First Day of Shooting!

-

 Hello!


So I wanted to talk about how the first day of shooting went. We wanted to start with Anais's character so of course we went to her house to shoot. It was right after school, where Mal, Nicole, and I walked to her house as it was like 5-10 minutes away. Anais was already at her house since she left early. 


When we got there, we were greeted by Anais' mom who had a bright smile on her face. She said that because we were coming, she brought food so we can enjoy while we filmed. However, we ate it as soon as we went inside. During that time, we talked about the different angles and overall plan to capture this first scene. Nicole is not part of our group so we had to explain in detail what our image was.


After we finished and talked with Anais' dogs, we went to her room to begin filming. Originally, the plan was to move her table so we can be right behind it in order to film, but we couldn't move it. So we had to resort to balancing the camera on a little storage box to capture the shot. To be honest, I was nervous on how this would go. Like would we find difficulty trying to get the perfect shot? Would this take a longer time then we expected? We also had a time restraint because Mal had to leave early and we all had homework that had to be done. However, we were able to succeed in filming our first scene and had a fun time. Nicole was our photographer why Mal and I were filming.

 Here are some photos of that day:

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...
