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.

Editing in film making

 According to infoplease.com, editing impacts the rate, and thus the atmosphere, of a film in three ways: The length of a shot is determined by the editor. In general, the slower the pace, the longer the shot duration. What goes into and out of a sequence is up to the editor. Editors make judgments such as transitions, editing and splicing scenes, arranging shots and scenes, and determining what additional modifications should be done to the scenes after they have been filmed, such as lighting, adding more music and sound, and adding text.

The incorporation of the many conventions of media in film

 The main components of media studies are some of the first things taught to most media students. these main components are Mise En Scène, sound, cinematography, and editing. Mise En Scène is the altogether appearance of the set/ scene from the props to the stage design and actor placement in scenes for film production, as well as the visual arts in general. Essentially it would be reasonable to conclude that Mise En Scène covers the overall visual representation of a film. Furthermore, because it encompasses all auditory and listenable parts of media, Sound is one of the more straightforward notions in film. Sound is an important component of audience stimulation and is evident in everyday media use. Cinematography covers the technical aspects of visual representation in film. The basic composition of a scene, the lighting of the set or location, the choice of cameras, lenses, filters, film stock, the camera angle, and movements, as well as the integration of any sp...
