It's now time to film

My group and I decided to finally start filming and I am so excited! Unfortunately, my partner Mila, something came up to where she couldn't make it. She had to get a new teacher for her spanish class and had a scheduled time to call them the day we film. Nevertheless, it wasn't a major issue because my group and I were able to sort out the issue. In order for Mila to provide feedback and "be there" during the process, it was determined that we would facetime call while the rest of the group films. Dara would also be allowed to capture each scene while Violet and I acted. Even though it wasn't our initial idea, it made sense given the current situation. Violet then disclosed that she would also be unable to make it on Monday, therefore the entire scheme ultimately failed. The group agreed to start filming on the following day instead. The Cambridge Award night was on that night, therefore there would be a time rush. Dara, Violet, and Mila would all need to hustle in order to finish filming and get at the awards ceremony on time at six o'clock. Even though this was not good news, I was fine with it because I was available whenever to film.  I thought this was much better and would be more beneficial than simply having Mila on the phone. We made the decision to plan the schedule so that we could complete the necessary filming in 3 hours. If two hours of uninterrupted filming would be possible and we were completed setting up the set, hair, and cosmetics by four o'clock it would be okay. I went to bed once everything had been arranged with everyone, eager to start filming.

Choosing our Pitch

Image
Pitch 1: A little girl's imagination gets out of hand one afternoon. Pitch 2: A girl is doing homework when suddenly she finds a mysterious note left in her book for her. Pitch 3: A young mom is driving to pick up her son from school, when out of the blue and friend from her past comes her way. Pitch one is an ideal one for our group, as it can involve girl characters, and our group has four girls. This leaves us options for us to have someone to film, which is good so we don't have to go out of our way to find another cameraman. This, along with the fact that the wording allows for wiggle room, is a pro to pitch 1. However, we would have to take extra steps to find a little girl to play one of the parts, which adds a bit of a challenge, but I think our group is up for that. Pitch 2 is also a reasonable pitch for our group, because we can have one of us acting and the rest of us tackling other responsibilities. However, we are not sure how much we can do with the concept, so...

Movie Conventions Research: Bird Box

Image
  Various camera angles, sounds, editing forms, and mis-en-scene were used in this film. For starters, numerous scenes were shot at a medium close-up viewpoint with dark lighting as the mis-en-scene. Dim lighting in the forest setting and  Ambient lighting are two examples of different types of illumination. To achieve a chilling effect, many props were added, including a blindfold and a rowboat down a strong river. The majority of the film was shot with diegetic sound, however there were several instances where there was no sound to create an eerie and mysterious atmosphere within the movie.  Different types of lighting, such as under lighting, were heavily used to generate an ominous impact on viewers. The actors in this film are dressed in costumes that are meant to look worn out and dirty to the audience. The majority of the aspects stated had a positive impact on the movie since they added tension and suspense, which is what this genre is all about. Low angle and eye...

More Filming!

Image
 When Connor arrived, we were ecstatic. This meant we could finish filming all of the scenes now. After me and Katie filmed the scenes in her house, we needed to film the rest of them. We began filming the next scene, which was me riding a bike through a neighborhood. I hopped on the bike and rode it, while Katie and Connor followed me filming as a tracking shot. Thankfully I knew how to ride a bike, so it was fairly easy to film. There was two other locations we needed to film at. One at a playground, and another in the forest at Hugh Taylor Birch State park. The three of us walked to a local playground and started filming the scene with Katie and I. We sat on the swings, rehearsing our lines quickly so we could film with ease. I took multiple shots, so we could pick the best one out of the couple. The props we used in that scene was our phones. Next, we had to film in the forest. Katie's neighbors gave us a key to enter the park. That was very convenient for us. We needed to film...
