Production Blog: Establishing Roles

          Currently in our final task we are officially picking up progress. Though we haven't actually started to record, we are in the process of deciding who is doing what in the task. About a week or two ago we were really stuck on who wants to do what. Someone wanted to be outside of the video recording, someone wanted to be the main character, others wanted to direct the whole video and one of the group members didn't want to be in the video at all. But today, March 10, 2021, we have finalized and established what we are doing in the film. 

          In the film, there will be at least 2-3 main characters in the film since theres only four of us in the group. The other group member will most likely be the recorder if it is possible and okay with Cambridge. Because the film is about two minutes, we want to try to fit all of the actors in the film with an appropriate time period. For the actors, we don't them to have to stress and have to struggle with their part knowing that their part will not be more than 45 seconds. So we want to make sure all participants are comfortable with what they're doing.

          For the other member of the group who is doing the recording, they will be in charge of what the film looks like overall. With this, their job is to make sure they make sure that every recording is perfect. For example, lighting in the film is important. The director will have to make sure every other actor is being seen in the film and most importantly, heard. We want to make sure when someone is talking in the film, they are being heard. Better lighting creates better film and better sounding in the production makes everything look better overall. They will also do the editing part of the film. They will make sure that all of the clips of the film piece together and that the film makes sense and that it is under two minutes and fifteen seconds. 

          With music production, we already know what and who we want our music from who and by who. One of the group members in the group already makes music so we've decided to use his music as a promotion of his music and it is easier for us to add music in our film. This is also beneficial because in this task, it is required for each group to ask for "permission" for someone's music with a form signed so it will be way easier for our group to just use his music instead of going the extra mile to find someone else's music and have to go through signing a contract with other people. I think the production music in the film will be very good as long as we use the clean version of whatever song we use. Currently, we don't know what part of the film where we're going to use the music, we are debating between the beginning of the film or the end of the film but we do know that we don't want it to be heard throughout the film.

Production Blog: Halfway There

Image
 My group and I are still currently filming our video for our final task. The due date for the assignment is almost near and we are halfway through the video. We currently recorded the parts where we decided that we were going to split then this weekend, we plan to meet up at a park and rehearse the last scene of the film. Due to the fact that the assignment is due in a week, I think my group is on perfect timing. After the meet on Sunday, we plan to start editing the video so that we can attach it to our blogs. On Sunday, it is our last shooting day out of 4. We plan on meeting up at a park where we all are close by, and we will shoot the last minute or the last few seconds of the film. The beginning or the first minute and a half of the film, we did all our recordings at our homes by ourselves. This works because it is like everyone is getting a phone call from separate areas. Then they all find each other at the park to help their friend. We think the time span on our film is al...

Production Blog: First Few Seconds

Image
During spring break, my group and i started our recording process for our film for our final task. Our group  has been working hard to get our first scene right. The first clip of the video is about 15 - 30 seconds long. After finishing it the editor of the group has begun doing the editing process of the film. Since the break, we haven't done much recording since. We want to film each scene piece by piece. We also understand that some of the group mates might b busy from time to time that's why we broke up our filming dates. We are also still currently in the starting process of our film. We do plan on doing some more recording this weekend since we do have a 3 day weekend and it gives us much time to do some recording. We plan on recording our second scene of the film and then try to do some more recording throughout the week. If we do this and the plan works out in our favor, our film can potentially be due before the actual due date. Our group want to make sure that we get ...

Production Blog: Sunday and Final Plans

Image
 Finally, my group and I have officially decided what we were going to do and we confirmed it. So now, because we still haven't recorded our final part of the film, which will be recorded on Sunday, we are still at Base B with our film but for sure we are almost done. Currently, every member of the group has their own parts. Like said before in the last blog, we want to start editing our film around next Tuesday so that we can submit our film on Thursday. To start editing on Tuesday, we have to submit all of our clips by Tuesday so our editor of the group can start editing. It is for sure that every person apart of our group will be in the film. I will be in the first clip, I will be the one who commits suicide. Most likely I will only be in that only clip of the film. I will also be apart of another clip but I will be on a flyer. For the flyer of course, we would have to use that as a prop. The flyer will be only shown for about 10 seconds in the film so that the audience can read...
