Recording

  Once everything is planned, it would be time to begin the recording. Bringing myself to the chosen location will be easy considering I have picturesque surroundings near me so there isn’t a lot of traveling necessary. Actually choosing it is the problem. If I want to do several, I’d have a lot of clips to make. I would certainly use the techniques that are found in the vocabulary word assignment that I did for the class. For an advertisement I’d use eye level shots. The reason being to create a neutral view. I am not a very imposing person, nor do I want to create a sense of me being small for the commercial. The neutral shot is in between these so it should be the perfect choice. My scenes will be recorded and then put together to create the commercial. Looking at my nonexistent recording skills, I would have to do several takes for each scene. Unfortunately, tracking shots won’t be possible as I am the only one able to record my commercial. I wouldn’t make others be my production crew. Especially if they aren’t being paid. I cannot risk any errors and I want to be able to finish this commercial as soon as possible. The time I would want to record would be the sunset. Day time I feel would be too generic. Nighttime is too dark, and a little scary too. The sunset is perfect as it will create a really enjoyable atmosphere and a pleasing background. Only problem is the glare! I guess I’ll always have an issue to try to get around…

Setting up the date for filming

  Picking the date for the film may seem easy, but there are many factors that come into play when doing so. Depending on when we are the most available, we have two choices. Thursday the 21st of February is our primary option. This is the day where the actors are free the most. The alternative date we chose is Sunday the 24th. This will be our filming date in the case one of the actors is absent. Most of us have to balance school work an actual job work in our lives. The result being a limited time frame. Thursday is the best option for a few reasons. One being the fact that we can record at dusk and night time. This is perfect because we want to make our horror film during "scary hours". If it happens Sunday, this is not possible as I have work at day time and Mario (group member) has it at night. If it is filmed at day, it reduces the scary effect substantially. Another reason Thursday is best is because the team can meet up much easier. Transportation is still an issue, b...

The very beginning phase

Image
   The first thing we have to do to prepare for our filming is brainstorm ideas. Making an into to a film is not easy, and requires a lot of parts to do it properly. The costumes that we end up wearing have to match the genre of the film. For instance, horror films are unique in this sense. The antagonist of the film should be wearing something entirely different from the protagonists. The killer must look scary so that the audience fears him. The other characters must look like every day people, so the audience can sympathize with them. The killer's clothing should be worn, stained, and grotesque to look at. Examples of this are Jason Vorhees from the series "Friday the 13th". He was underwater for a long time so his clothes are normally drenched and muddy. The hockey mask he wears is also weathered. Another example would be from the movie "Nightmare on Elm Street". Freddy Krueger uses a glove with blades attached to mutilate his victims in their dreams. This p...
