Re-Shoot Blog

     Tomorrow is the day we get our footage back. We will be filming at my house tomorrow at 2:30. We are hoping to complete all the footage we need to begin the editing stage of the production process. I have everything we need setup for tomorrows meet. I have a tank top that we will get dirty for the costume of the main character Travis. Kyle will be bringing a toolbox and Jackson will be bringing other miscellanies props that relate to a mechanic style. The costumes for the mother and other students will be casual suburban clothing. This will help emphasize the fact that the main character Travis is an "outcast" or unfitting. We will be using my car as the car that Travis is trying to work on. I own a 2016 ford explorer, and hopefully it will be fitting for the theme of the film. I have planed to position the car in my carport in a specific way to fully capture the experience. The reason we have to re-plan the filming process is because it is at a different location and we will be using new props. Looking back at the shots we previously had, we had some shots that could have been improved. This ranges from camera angles to acting. This is pretty inconvenient to have to do the filming process all over again. However, it will be a chance for us to improve the quality of our footage. And overall, the quality of the film will be better. One thing I am concerned about is the quality of the editing. I am hoping that it will not be rushed, but we will have an uncomfortable amount of time to work on the editing. I will need to make sure the time restraints don't hold me back from making an awesome film. The last thing I would want is to have a un-satisfactory film.

Comparing 9, the short, and 9, the full-length movie

Image
  To be completely honest, that has to be one of the most disturbing films I’ve watched in a long time. There was no talking throughout the whole short film. The setting was lifeless and looked as if this animated world had been abandoned. The plot started with  two doll-like figures with some sort of numbers on their back, one being 5 and the other being 9. They end up coming across this mechanical looking monster, it looks like they went for a mixture of a lion and a dog type of design but made entirely of metal. It had bright green eyes and a disturbing roar. This monster proceeds to abduct the doll labelled 5 and uses a green portal device to kill him. The other doll that was labelled 9 was terrified and ran away to go hide. Eventually it comes to the doll labelled 9 find pieces of junk that he puts together to create a torch however, with a lightbulb doll 9 ends up attracting the monster into a abandoned cave like setting, where doll 9 intraps themself on a large wooden p...

Production Blog - We edited our video!

Image
       Since the last blog many things have progressed. I have began editing and almost completed editing for my video. When editing my video I went through many trial and error of how I wanted the videos overall feeling to be. It took me a little more than 15 mins to find the song I wanted to use. I used real Gatorade ads as context for the music and music style that I wanted to use. Once I found the music video I wanted to use I added some non-copyright sound effects to use for add on effects. It took me a while to cut up and find proper transitioning and timing for the video. One thing I have definitely learned that editing takes time and patience to get the best possible outcome. I also added some filters and color correction on the video to create a dramatic and intense effect on the video. Once I had the major components combined I began to work on the small details. The music and all sound, visual effects, and transitioning was completed. So I began to work on...
