Researching how to make a short film



Hey, Blogger! Today for my research I'll be watching a video on how to make a short film. 

The video was extremely helpful. It covered both the technical and creative aspects of making a short film. One key point in emphasized was the importance of focusing on a single core concept instead of trying to fit too much into a short film. I need to keep this in mind during the duration of my film, so I don't make things harder for myself. Another important takeaway was the significance of scriptwriting and planning. The video explained how the screen serves as the foundation for the film, it influences the creative and practical elements of filmmaking.

The video also reminded me about production, pertaining to budgeting, crew, and equipment. I was reminded that the tools I'm using for my film doesn't reflect the outcome of the film. Hearing this helped me because I was debating if I wanted to film on my phone, or borrow a camera for a "better look". a the video also highlighted the importance of flexibility during the filming process. Even through there maybe a set schedule a lot of unseen circumstances could occur, and making a flexible schedule will ease your stress if that unravels.

This video helped me not worry so much on the process of making a short film, because I've never made one before so this is all new to me. But that's it for this blog, Bloggers!

Sincerely, 

Laudjah.

Production Blog

Hey Bloggers! I haven't done a production blog in so long, not since the last project. I cannot wait to write and post these upcoming blogs.

We found that it would be inconvenient to begin filming because our plan was that whoever is going to be in the scene that is being recorded will be the cameraman so, we chose to wait until everyone was ready to film. Now we were ready to film... or so we thought. After they had recovered, one of the group members got in trouble. To overcome this obstacle, we decided to film the scene where they were not in. We could not wait any longer, we had to begin filming as soon as possible. Due to these circumstances the first scene filmed was the photo montage of us. This was the perfect way to start the filming process since it did not require anyone to be physically pres...

Editing Blog: Part 2

 Hey Blogger! In the previous blog, I stoped the editing at the photo montage. Now we continue. Not even going to hold you, I procrastinated wanting to edit. Then I remember this work isn't just for me, it's a group grade.That way of thinking gave me an extra push to finally continue. When I was actually going back and looking the footage was there, a lot needed cuts. There just a bunch of clips of us laughing and breaking character. It was so funny to go and look back on. Moving forward the editing became a group collective. Maria worked on the title sequence, since it was her amazing idea. I just added the scene of her pulling out the knife and walking then I cut it to the scene of her looking Alyssa. For this part I kept it simple since, that's what most movies do when it's a scene like that. Also, since there's a tilt and pan for those scenes, additionally things weren't really necessary. Alyssa took on editing the following scenes, so I don't really kno...
