Filming & Production

Filming and Production 

My filming process was not as easy as I initially speculated. I started my production process by making my schedule and selecting the location for my filming and I decided that I was going to use my entire break to just shoot based on the scenes depicted in my storyboard and script. I filmed at school and I mainly used a tripod and a variety of handheld shots. I also made a variety of changes after I made my script and storyboard and I added some shots that were not planned, however, I did believe they would make my extract more meaningful. For my filming, I used an iPhone 8, iPhone XR, and a Canon rebel T100. For my lighting, I used a portable stage light I bought on amazon but I did not really like the way the shots came out so I did not really rely on the lighting. My establishing and master shots were done outside my house and the rest were done on the inside. I did film a shot of a town on the way to my Grandfather's house and I guess you could say the car acted as a dolly in a sense. My overall film is a little off-target based on my script and storyboard but I feel as if these changes were necessary and added a lot more suspense. I made sure to take advantage of my knowledge of camera shots and their ability to create meaning, my film consists of no dialogue so all the meaning will have to be deciphered from the camera shots and angles. I also had to pay a lot of attention to the continuity of my shots to make sure they made sense.

Bloopers:

Initially, these two shots were to go together in order to show the movement of the subject within a limited frame. However, if someone pays attention to all the details it would just look as if the subject was going back from where he came from, you can tell this because the background showing the setting is the same in both instances. this would be an inconsistency in the continuity of the extract.



After I started making my shots the next step was to cut and organize which was the editing stage of my film. This was what really made me miserable. I really underestimated the filming industry because I got so frustrated due to my shots not being to my expectations. During my filming I got some of my friends to assist me and I thought the raw footage could be manipulated to my liking, and with digital technology's ability to do anything, my expectations have been raised even higher.

Mise En Scene in film

 According to materclass.com, mise-en-scene is a phrase for the setting of a scene in a play or a film. It includes persons who are positioned on the stage or in front of the camera.  Mise en scène can help elevate a film from a collection of moving pictures to a work of art. Many diverse aspects, like setting, lighting, actors, décor, makeup, and so on, come into play to make this happen. Ultimately, the mise-en-scene of a film achieves not only the ability to convey to an audience the mood, drama, and likely occurrences of a scene or sequence, but also its affecting intensity, style of feeling, and the power to inspire the viewer to feel deeply as well.
