Filming Blog

It was on a Saturday afternoon around 1pm. Chad and Ethan picked me up and we drove over to our destination, Holiday Park to film. The overall atmosphere on this Saturday was perfect for recording. No rain and the area was not crowded with many people. We were able to begin filming smoothly. Although Sebastian hadn't shown up due to his sickness we were able to complete a good portion of our opening in only our first day recording. We found a vacant area near the soccer field and decided to record in this area. We needed a suitable place that best fit the images from our storyboard. After strolling around for a minute we then found the perfect place. Trees and grass best suited the environment we had in mind for our opening scene. Ethan being the director and cameraman then recording some scenes that took places in our storyboard while having Chad rehearse them. Although it took a few tries to get everything right we got it eventually. Memorizing our script proved to be a challenging problem however after just a couple of takes we got it down. Allowing some breaks occasionally we were able to also make small edits to script to better feel the intensity of the situation. After a few takes we were better able to act the role of our characters. Chad being the hero in the situation had to use a more heroic tone. Me being the villain had to sound more smug and villainous. Without Sebastian present we decided to stop the film session after my chance to be in film. In the next recording Ethan and Sebastian should be present in the opening as part of the "mob" in our film. Next Saturday should conclude our opening though edits will have to be made.

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. Who's speaking? -Joker (V.O): We have her... heartbeat sound Drake: Huh? What're you talking about? Joker (V.O) : Your sister.. want her back? Drake: What was that? Maria (V.O) : Drake! Help me Please! Drake: Maria! Joker: You know where to find me... meet me there in 10 minutes or else... hangs up Drake: This can't be happening, I have no other choice. ...

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...
