Filming Blog

On another Saturday morning we return to Holiday park. Though it was slightly more crowded we managed to find a perfect spot to pick up our film again. Following the storyboard we managed to make tons of progress on our film. We ran into a little altercation regarding the swords however, luckily for us it did not prevent us from continuing our film session. Trees and grass were best suited for the environment we were planning for the initial stage. Ethan was a director and cameraman, and then he recorded several scenes that were in our sketch while Chad rehearsed them. Although it took a few attempts to do the right thing, we finally made it. Remembering our script proved to be a challenge, but we did it for just a couple of takes. By making some breaks from time to time, we could also make some minor adjustments to the script so we could feel the tension better. After a few takes, we were better able to play the role of our characters. Chad, as a hero of the situation, had to use a more heroic tone. The fact that I was a villain should have sounded more smug and evil. With Sebastian here with us this time we could finally conclude our filming sessions. He was able to fulfill his role of Ren; one of the characters in our film. Overall Saturday was a successful film day. Though the winds picked up a ton we didn't let us stop us from finishing the film. As we slowly came to wrapping up our films we made some final touches and changes. We redid anything that we think could have been better. We trimmed scenes that felt a little too long to match the pacing of the film. We remembered to take shots from the certain angles that's been taught in class.

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...
