Production Blog: Filming Plan Adjustments

 Today I was supposed to be my last day of filming but I had an important event to attend. So, I wasn't able to film all the scenes that I needed to move onto the editing the clips that I filmed. Since I will have to do another day of filming I will have to push back my editing dates or edit the clips within a shorter period of time. Which ideally wanted to start today so that I would have more than enough time to add what I wanted to add maybe even explore some new techniques.I will now do my last day of filming for the final task on March 17th and then start editing soon after that.

 Today I filmed 3 scenes for the final task, like the previous scenes I struggled with the lighting on the indoor scenes. After a while I got into a filming groove for the scenes and the quality just kept getting better and better. Until I finally got that perfect shot where everything ran smoothly from the acting to the lighting but that was only the first scene of the day. One of the shots that gave me a lot of trouble was one where I had to capture the emotions of the actor. For this scene I had to do a close shot which isn’t typically an issue for me. For some reason though I struggled with filming this scene for a while. Which is why I couldn’t complete all the scenes that I needed to.

 

I kind of had to rush the other two shots because I only had little bit more time to film, and this was supposed to be the last day that I had to film before I had to start the editing process. Lucky for me the lightning and acting was perfect, and I was able to get the scene I needed in 3 takes. Before I left the I made sure that every scene was to my liking and felt they were lacking. So, if I have enough time on the rescheduled final day of filming I will go back and redo the two scenes in which I had to rush.

 

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. I really enjoyed it I didn’t think I would like it this much, especially since I’ve been doing things like this all year. So far, I have had a lot of fun filming the final task and I believe that it will be my best project all year.

  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. Frequently used camera shots includes close-up shots, over-the-shoulder shots, low angle shots, high angle shots, and canted angle shots.

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...
