New Location for Filming

 I was planning to start filming during my spring break, and to film with my parents and my grandfather. We went to the park initially planned and noticed that there were a lot of people. All the people at the park made it very loud and we couldn't film a single scene without someone getting in the way. It was very frustrating to film with everything in that area. This caused a lot of problems when it came to filming since we couldn't get anything done. I decided that we would no longer film at the location initially planned due to the amount of people and the noise. So many people in one area could pose a very big risk of being exposed to COVID-19. Also with all of the noise in the area, it was hard to hear what the actors were saying in each scene. Not only was the audio a problem, but people kept walking in the middle of our scenes. Overall, filming there would have been a disaster to the film. After seeing this problem I quickly tried to thing of another area where we could film. I came up with the idea of that there is a park near where I live that not a lot of people go to. There was a trail that we could use that would be great to use for the film. We left the park that we were to initially film at to go look at the new area that I had thought of. When we went there we saw that there were little to no people at all. It was also relatively quiet so I would be able to hear the actors in each scene. I saw the trail too and it was great to use for the film since there almost no one was using it. We decided to start filming some of the scenes when we saw that the new area was good. We did not finish the film that one day since it started to get late, so we decided to film also on another day. Overall, I was able to overcome the challenge of changing locations, and I found a better location that I previously never thought about.

Planning to Film: Items Needed

Image
 I decided not to film this weekend due to the fact that I didn't have all the items needed. In a previous blog I mentioned all of the items I needed to film. The past weekend I decided to dedicate it to making a list and buying everything I needed for the film. If I didn't dedicate this weekend to buying all of the materials I needed, I would not be able to film. I would rather film fully prepared with everything I need before hand, than start filming and not have anything. Without all of the proper items needed to film, this film would not be complete and would overall take longer. This weekend I looked around my house to see what I had, and what I could use as props for my film. I looked all around my house since I would like to use items I already had instead of going out and buying items that are unneeded. I found some items that could be used within the film, in my house, thus bringing down the cost. However, I couldn't find all of the items I needed for the film. Sin...

Planning to Film

Image
 I can not film during the week due to school and other obligations I have. Instead of not being proactive about filming, I decided that I am going to see what I need to do before I film. I looked at what props I would need for the film, and seeing what I would need to do to attain that. I decided that I will probably need some rope for my final task, so I have to see how much it costs, and where to buy it. I also must decide when I am going to go out and buy the rope with my parents since I don't have a car. I also must decide who I want to act in the film and who they are going to play. After I decide who I want to be in the film, and who they are going to play, I have to contact them. I plan to start filming and having everything I need by next weekend, so that gives me a lot of time to plan. I also plan to film throughout spring break since I will be able to film during the week since we will not have school. I also must start thinking about how much this project may cost with ...

Genre Research: Action

 I conducted research this year on the action genre of movies where I discussed the different aspects of the genre of action movies. I made sure in the powerpoint to add different pictures and examples of each term I researched. I specifically used pictures from action movies to show how each term was used and to show action examples. I discussed the lighting in action movies, which typically tends to be low-key lighting, high-key lighting, and Rembrandt lighting. I used pictures from movies like "Fight Club" to show the use of this lighting in these movies. I discussed the camera angles in action movies, which tend to be establishing shots, ariel shots, close up shots, mid shots, and high angle shots. I used the establishing shot from the Harry Potter series to use has an example to show an example of an establishing shot. I discussed the movement that is used in action movies which are pans, zooms, reverse zooms, tilt, and crane shots. I discussed the mise-en-scene in actio...
