Production Blog: Chad's House

 Blog about filming

Our final day of filming was today, and everyone made it. We recorded at Chad's place on December 10th, after Ethan's mother dropped us off. I dropped my belongings off at Chad's house and began recording right away. We were only given two and a half scenes to work with. We completed the tenth scene by bringing the pursuing action to a close with me being pursued and Chad catching up to me. The chase continued in the 11th scene until I was unable to continue and turned back. Because Ethan was behind me and we couldn't get the timing correct for the entire scene, this was the most difficult scene. As a result, Chad had to take a couple steps back while walking. Then we decided to include Sebastian in the video just to see what he could achieve. As a result, for scene 12, we created Sebastian. Chad made his way up to me, fists clenched. It took an hour to accomplish this filming session.

Editing Blog

I changed the beginning of the video to include a black and white intro that fades into color during editing. This was a change to reflect a darker side of nature in the upcoming video. Following that, we used my laptop to edit in the newly recorded bits. We opted to fade everything to black for a few seconds because the finish was a mystery and the story had no actual ending. Because I left it up to the spectator to decide what happened, there were numerous mysteries in our video.

Our group that consists of Chad, Sebastian, and I will feature the Nintendo Switch and all its features. Now our commercial will start with the iconic nintendo switch intro. This is found on all of nintendo switch's commercial intros. It lasts around 2 seconds so this will not take up any filming time that we need. The next panel is where we look at the nintendo switch game menu. This menu will have to showcase to the viewer what the games you can play. In this scene, we will also be entering a game and showing small gameplay. The third scene will show us playing a game together with the screen. This scene is meant to showcase how everyone can play together at the same time. This scene can also show a game being played and what to do which is promoting both the console and the game. The fourth scene will showcase what the game will look like when the console is in handheld mode. This mode is when the controllers are inside the console and its made to be able to play for one person....

Scene 1 - Non Diegetic Music plays: Carnival of Delight Drake (V:O) : Hey, my names Drake, and I'm a former gang member of the wire gang. It was a dangerous place for me, but my sister was the one who made me change my ways. She made me realize that violence isn't the answer to everything. Many call me weak and pathetic and some might even call me a traitor. However, I was the only one to break out the cycle of constant violence and endless regrets. I never expected it would come back to bite me. Diegetic Sound: Cell phone rings Drake: Huh, who could this be? Diegetic sound: Answers* Scene 2 - Drake: Hello.

Genre Choice

Based on the research we did for the blogs, we feel as though mystery will fit best for our movie. This genre really would climb as the film goes on. By the end of the film is where we find our solution or our ending. This inspired us as a whole as we are trying to create a film that has to do with suspicion. It would really draw the audience attention. I feel like our pitch really fits in with this genre. If in the future we would have to tweak it, it wouldn't be a problem. We weren't thinking to add dialogue at first as our idea, but it might be the thing that we need to add. As stated previously, the mystery genre has a decent popularity in films nowadays. The wide variety of aspects and work that goes into these films really brings it all together. Which further creates something that truly represents mystery. Some camera angles that correlate to mystery are close-ups. They also include medium close-ups. They also use dialogue when it comes to mystery to give the audience a...
