Film looking purple



It was the first day of filming. Everyone showed up at my house so before that I cleaned my house to get ready for filming. I waited for everybody to get there. Then it was time to plan the first scene and go to our first filming location. It was my brother's room so we had to clean up and try to make it look messy so that it could fit the aesthetic that we were going for. I took a bunch of clothes from my brother's room and scatter them along the room trying to make it look messy. After that, it was time to film our first angle which was a medium shot of the actor's phone at a side angle. I was in charge of filming that scene and keeping the music in sync with what I was filming, so I had to memorize the timing. For scene 2 it was filming the actor in the center of the frame in a medium shot. I helped adjust the lighting for that sense so it would seem more dark and gloomy and not so bright. After I filmed a medium close-up shot behind Brandon showing him clearing away messages. Then I went on and filmed Brandon‘s eye. To then cut back to me filming Brandon's text “I miss you”.

As we then cut to the next scene of Brandon in a medium shot about to fall over to hug his pillow. The way I filmed the scene was when Brandon started to lay down I would move the camera with him so that I would have a smooth transition for the next scene. This was the scene I had the most trouble filming I couldn’t get the transition right and I kept moving out the frame but after eventually practicing it and doing it so many times I got the scene. After I had to change the hallway scene so that I would follow Brandon. Because my brother's room is outside of the house and in a completely different area, so to make it look more cohesive it would be better to film behind Brandon following him up to the door and then him closing it while I stood there. So we could cut to him going into the car and closing the door. Those were all the scenes we filmed our first day.

  Props      Since my group is doing the Arizona drink, the only prop we will use the most is an Arizona can. Along with any other insignificant items in the commercial. Costumes      Nicole and I will be the actors in the commercial. At the beginning of the commercial, we will have comfy, chill outfits on. Once the Arizona can is introduced, we will change outfits into something bolder and eye-catching to match our drink. This is to match the 'aesthetic' of the Arizona drink. Order First, my team will figure out how we want our commercial to be. We find out our exact setting, the basic concept for the ad. Next, we find out how we want to film it and how. What supplies do we use, what angles and direction do we film. After we have the footage, we edit our video to fit our standards. We add the music, any transitions, on-screen text, and more. Locations and Ideas The few locations we will film on is the Senior Patio, the track field, and the vending mac...

Planning Blog: Title Design- It's in the Details

  Well hello there! We are now going to explain the layout and formatting of the title design for our opening sequence. As of right now, all of the design ideas we have outlined below will likely be those that we will be using going forwards; however, there is still the possibility that we may decide to make changes as our production process continues and we reach the editing stage of our project. After scouring the internet, we found and settled on using the "Sometimes" font, being that it was not as gaudy as some of the others that we encountered online and, as such, would not detract attention away from the film itself, but it would still be able to properly credit each participant. Additionally, said font's use of sharp edges allows it to create a tense feeling that feeds into the thriller aspect of our film.      When it comes to ensuring that each of our titles are readable, we will likely not embed all of them into our scenes and run the risk of them...
