Why and how we're reshooting

The student parking lot of Everglades High School as per Google Maps,
this is where we plan to reshoot our scenes

    So we've decided that we're going to be reshooting tomorrow: March 9, 2022. This time, though, we're going in more prepared and we'll have more people. The reason that we're reshooting is that we didn't have enough high-quality conversation footage for the second scene of our film (which is also the longest scene that takes up the most time and provides the most background). We didn't go in on the first day prepared, so after we had reviewed the footage of the first day, it was tough to squeeze out enough usable conversation that didn't have one of us laughing, looking at the camera directly, or fumbling over words for too long.

    This time we'll try to go in knowing exactly what we're gonna talk about, how we'll carry out our scenes, and how to execute the filming. To top it off, another advantage of refilming is now that we know roughly how long each scene will take to film, which is incredibly important with the narrow timeframe (1:55 to 2:00) Cambridge has given us for our final project. Now we know some goals for the length of time we've got to work with for each scene.

    The place we'll be filming will be the student parking lot section of our school (Everglades High in Miramar, FL) after school ends for the day, and we think that it'll take only about 30 minutes or so to conduct (especially because now we've already done it once and know how it works).

    We're hoping it'll go well, and will keep you all updated!

Videos

A few days back, we were made to create five different shots for our class with a partner, each using a different camera angle. Here is my work:      Video #1 - Introductory Scene - This shot shows the campus before stopping and zooming in on a tree, which the audience will ideally view as being the most integral part of the story. It's introductory because it shows the setting of the rest of the movie and introduces key items. This shot was created by simply rotating the camera and then using the zoom function on it, zoning in on the tree. Our goal of making an introductory scene was probably achieved.      Video #2 - High Shot - This shot displays Arturo (my partner) from a high vantage point below the viewer. In the video, he picks up a stick and slowly points it upward, towards the camera. The way this was recorded was by me standing on a bench and rotating the camera angle down at Arturo, then slowly tilting it upward during the course of the filming i...

Sound Story

     Alejandro, Arturo, and I have recently been working on a project for our film class that I'll talk about in the post below. The way this worked was that we were supposed to try to mix audio and create a file between one and two minutes long that told a story using a maximum of seven words of dialogue and in a manner so that the listener would still be able to understand what was going on. We also would have to record ourselves making four of the sound effects (not including dialogue) that we'd use during our file (so this would be attempting our own Foley Stages). This meant we couldn't take all of our sounds off the internet and leave it at that. I didn't have any ideas at first, so I was relieved when Alejandro told me that he already had an idea.       We discussed his idea and streamlined it, and came up with the following idea: we'd try to simulate a mafia hit (or at least attempt to) that would begin with two members talking to each other in...

Idea for Final Project

     So we came up with an idea for our final project that we liked, even though it isn't really comedic we still thought it was alright. Our idea is basically going to be a horror and adventure-themed kind of movie, and the intro is going to introduce the elements that drive the plot.      So the way we plan to do this is that we'll start off with some people getting into a car. They'll turn the radio on and hear something about disappearances nearby. One of them will ironically make a statement along the lines of "That's nonsense" or "Those stories are overblown" and the radio will be turned off. The people in the car will them proceed to converse with each other.      After this we're gonna focus on the driver. As the car goes underneath an underpass and the lighting reaches extremely low levels, we're gonna have the driver say something, expecting a response. He gets no response and looks in the mirror and doesn't see any of his buddi...
