Filming Blog Final Filming Day



  So, on the final filming day I was able to get all the scenes for my final task done. I was able to get the priority scenes filmed within an hour which was faster than I expected to get done. Even having time to rerecord some of the scenes that I thought weren’t on par with the rest of the scenes. The scenes I got done were done with some minor difficulties in between .I spent the rest of the time that I had left over for that day thinking about how I was going to improve the quality and aesthetic during the editing process.

 

Having recorded on my phone for all the scenes in the final task the quality of the scenes was starting to improve.  Having recorded on my phone for so long I learned how to incorporate lighting adjustments without affecting the overall view of the film across scenes. Which helped me in recording the final scenes of the final task because I wanted them to be a little darker but have a little background lighting. To portray a sense of evil in the presence of a good spirit which is the main story of the film. With everything in place, I hit record and let the actors do their thing. Once I figured out exactly how to adjust the lighting so that the scene portrayed the image that I wanted but still had an eerie felling the ball was rolling.  It took a few takes because the lighting wasn’t panning out well in the first few cuts with the lighting adjustment. Although I was having a little bit of trouble, I was still able to get the scenes filmed with relative ease. Since most of the scenes were just capturing the emotions of actors.


The last day of filming was the easiest out of all the filming days. For this being my last time filming something with some length to it I feel like I did a lot better than my first experience.  With this experience I used my new adapted filming skills to get thus little skits done. Now that the filming process is over though I compiled the clips from the first day of filming and the second day and got to work on piecing things together. So that I would be fully prepared for the editing stages and hopefully have piece together and interesting opening sequence for an audience. For the most vital filming project I’ve had throughout this course I feel like I did a lot better than my first experience. Now that the filming process is over though I compiled the clips from the first day of filming and the second day and got to work on piecing things together. So that I would be fully prepared for the editing stages and hopefully have things together when it was time for me to start editing the clips together.

  Horror films are designed to scare the audience and inflict certain emotions into them. The different aspects when it comes filming and editing horror has been investigated. To see what really goes into making a horror film pop out at an audience. For starters, the common lighting used in horror films is low lighting. It creates a mysterious mood that builds tension, stress, and fear. So that the audience will stay on their toes never knowing when something will pop out to scare them.

THE FINAL TASK

 This final is something that I have spent a lot of time making sure that it was perfect. I spent almost five days filming the scenes for the final task, because I wanted every scene to be done with maximum effort. The editing process also took a long time to get done consuming at least 4 to 5 hours out of two days. While editing this final task I got stressed out but I kept going because I knew it would be worth all of the hard work. Sometime even requiring me to take a step back to avoid overworking myself and becoming too stressed. I had to improvise at one point and start to adjust the order in which the clips were placed so they matched up with the music. That was probably the only bad experience that I had but once I finished that up and was able to reflect on everything I was able to accomplish  I  and enjoyed myself. I've improved my editing and filming skills over the course of this project which shows in the final product. I even had a little fun with it and too...
