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...

CCR - Creative Critical Reflection

This is my Creative Critical Reflection (Length 11:44): NOTE: THERE IS AN ERROR AT 2:03 - I say "DIEGETIC SOUND" when I mean to say "NON-DIEGETIC SOUND". Summary: Overall, it was a great experience working on this project. The film overall is a horror / adventure film about someone who "loses" some of his friends while driving without any explanation or reason. This causes him to have a mental breakdown, serving as the intro to our movie "Search", which will presumably be about the driver searching for his friends. Analyzation: 1st scene: Color is utilized to symbolize future and foreshadowing; Non-diegetic Sound is not used to keep tone neutral 2nd scene: Could potentially be improved; we did not give anyone dialogue to use Transition from 2nd to 3rd scene: Could potentially be improved; There is a problem in that some viewers may think a significant amount of time is passing between the two scenes. 3rd scene: Moment of shock for driver; area in...
