Production (Filming)


 Today is March 17th, and me and my group filmed scenes 6-8 after school yesterday. Me and my group planned to finish the filming yesterday but it started raining so we have to finish the rest of the scenes in the coming days. I was very disappointed since me and my group didn't finish filming all the scenes. This is the second time me and my group got rained on while filming. However, me and my group very good scene/recording today. The scenes today were filmed at the park. In scene 6, the kidnapper re-visited the scene and talks about their history with the victim. The kidnapper explains his jealousy, and this is revealed in the title sequence. This scene was most likely our longest scene and had a bit of difficulty. It took a while for us to remember our lines in the dialogue between the kidnapper and the victim. I was very relieved after this scene because the other scenes were not as hard in this scene. Me and my group used eye level, wide angle, and tracking shots in this scene.

 Scene 7 was where the rising occurs in the film. The victim broke free from the tape and escaped, they get out the scene, and I freak out trying to grasp what is happening, and then the victim says "they're coming." This scene was also a very long scene that me and my group had to get right. Me and my group used tracking shots for this scene, this is when it started getting really cloudy so my group hurried and finished this scene, and started the last scene we filmed. In scene 8, the kidnapper (still hurt on the ground), finally gets up while I'm screaming for help. The kidnapper says "you're coming with me", and takes me as the scene ends. This scene was took in a tracking shot and was very easy to film, and it only took one try. Me and my group will end filming the scenes in the next couple days, scenes 9-12.

Convention Research (Death Wish)

 For the first movie that our group researches, we choose a thriller called "Death Wish". Here are some conventions that we found in the blog that we liked, did not like, and overall conventions that we should use in our film. Conventions that we liked: There was a lot of conventions used in this film that our group likes. To start, a lot of the angles used have underlining purposes. For example, the antagonist in this film are usually represented with low angles that shows them having power over another subject. To give the film a more modern feel, the costumes worn during the duration was more modern, causal clothing which is something that my group actually liked. Props were also fairly basic, hand guns were used through rising actions because they always give the audience a sense of fear, of suspense, which we liked. The natural lighting also gave the film a natural feel, it made the story more real which we also liked. Finally, all of the sound effects used in the film w...

 Today is March 7th and me and my group have worked on the music we will use in our film. I have already started the process of using the music in the film that will best fit for the certain scenes. At first, me and my group could not decide what music to use for the film. But me and my group searched different thrilling and establishing music and we found the ones me and my group like best. Me and my group will use establishing music for the beginning of the film. And my film will use thrilling music for climax and important events. Important events such as the kidnapper in our film escaping, and the vehicle driving off. The establishing music will take place for about the first 20-30 seconds of the film and get the film to establish a meaning and help the audience get interested. Me and my group will use many different thrilling music for the scenes. Me and my group want to make sure the music makes sense for the certain scenes being used.  I have already started filming the...

Convention Research (Skyscraper)

 Conventions that we liked: There was a lot of conventions used in this film that our group likes. The angles and the clamps have their own purposes. We liked that the costumes because they were very casual since the movie takes place in a skyscraper. They were also props such as machine guns being shot, during the rising action of the movie. We like that it gives the audience a sense of suspense with the guns being shot. The lighting used since its in a big city gives a thrilling vibe. We definitely want to use a certain lighting in our film. The lighting gives a natural thrilling feel. Finally, we like the sound used in the movie. The sound of suspense attracts the audience which is very good for the film. Conventions that my group didn't like: My group didn't like certain things found in the film. For one, the editing used seemed partially synthetic, and not believe able enough to the eye, although as we watched the film it did seem like a budget film hence the editing was n...
