Filming: Beginning the Process

    Today marked the beginning of the filming process for a new project, and the day started off with a confirmation from everyone in the group chat that they were available to participate. The group chat had been created earlier to facilitate communication between the team members. Jorge suggested that everyone should arrive at 8 am, and both Katie and I confirmed that they would be there.

    As I was one of the main actors, I made sure to arrive early to assist with setting up. The first scene involved a table where me and Jorge would sit in a dark room. However, we had to postpone filming the scene because the sunlight was interfering with the desired lighting effect. The team decided to film the scene later in the night when the lighting would be more suitable.

   To maintain a sense of continuity, we decided to film the scenes in chronological order to keep track of the production progress. Among the scenes we filmed, the house scouting scenes were particularly enjoyable. It was amusing to watch Jorge (who played Django) act as a door-to-door salesman to gain access to the house.

    The next scenes filmed were the driving and approaching the door scenes, which were straightforward to film. Jorge and I walked up to the house and found the key. They then filmed the interior scenes, which involved searching drawers and other objects before heading upstairs to search the bedroom. After completing these scenes, we decided to take a break to grab some food before filming the rest of the scenes at sunset.

    Once the sunset, the team started filming the indoor planning scenes between the two main characters, Marty (played by me) and Django (played by Jorge). The first scene required Jorge and I to express heartfelt emotions, which proved challenging and required many takes to get right. After filming the emotional scene, we proceeded to film the remaining scenes where Marty and Django discussed the steps they needed to take to infiltrate and steal from the house.

    We all had decided to call it a day after finishing these scenes, as it was getting late and we had enough footage for the day. Overall, the filming day was both exciting and challenging, requiring us to act continuously throughout the day. Although the challenge was significant,we were thrilled to be filming and eager to continue working on the project.

Beginning of Editing

Image
    Today I started to edit my scenes for my commercial. To edit the scenes I used iMovie. Some of my scenes were filmed a few times so I will review and choose the best one. Then after choosing the best scenes, I will start to edit the scenes. I was looking at the length of each of my scenes and estimated how long my commercial will be. Some of the scenes need to be cut and merged with another scene.           I did research on how to edit/cut videos. I researched this so that I  know how to to cut and edit my scenes. Also, I searched up how to use iMovie since it is my first time using it for something. There was lots of information online on how to use iMovie and how to edit in general and the sources were very useful. I started editing my first scene and I tried to cut a second off the scene and merge it with my next scene. This required my editing to be precise because if I made a mistake, I would have to redo it.     I tried a...

Title Design Research: Action

   Title Design Research: Action Detective Pikachu: 1.How many titles are displayed during the opening sequences to the film? Which ones? Lots of titles are shown in the opening sequence of the movie. The usual ones such as Director and assistant director are shown. Since the movie had many different visual effects there was an emphasis on that part of the crew, such as the visual effects director.  2.What connotations do the images carry? (how do you they make you feel) They bring about a sense of nostalgia, especially for those who have been pokemon fans for years. They are bright and colorful and appear to be alive.  3.How is genre reinforced through symbolic and technical codes from the outset? (Can you tell what genre the film is) The exact genre isn’t made too apparent but by watching a pokemon related movie one is to expect some kind of action going in.  4.What conventions are used to ensure the film appeals to its target audience? Well one of the...

Common Sound in the action genre: Sound is a crucial element in any film, and the action genre is no exception. Action films often use fast-paced, intense music and sound effects to match the high-energy action on screen. In "Proximity," the sound design is used to great effect, with the use of suspenseful music and sound effects adding to the tension of the film's action sequences. Common Mis-En-Scene in the action genre: Lighting, Action, Makeup, Performance, and Setting. These elements can all contribute to the overall look and feel of a film and can be used to help define a genre. In the action genre, these elements are often used to create a sense of excitement and intensity. In "Proximity," the costumes and production design are dirt and rugged, adding to the film's wretched aesthetic. The action sequences are well chore...
