Production Blog: Editing

I have finally finished filming for my movie. I am extremely happy for all that we’ve accomplished so far. My group and I have worked very hard and diligently to get to where we are right now. The next thing on my list is to edit the scenes together. In class, I added all of our best clips together. When I did this the film was past 2 minutes but I wasn’t worried since we have to edit a lot out. Then, once Lili and I started to shorten the shots I came to the realization that our time was going to be lower than what we needed. My group and I had to discuss a lot over this. All of us came to the conclusion that we would need to meet up again to record more to scenes to insert. This would allow us to meet the requirements. Thus, my group and I planned to film on Sunday when we are all free. Additionally, we kept editing what we could since we still had 1 minute 41 seconds done. The first thing we did was work on the sound. I added in the creepy music that was decided earlier. I also put the sound of the doorbell ringing and knife scratching against wood. I made sure the shots were cut exactly to where they needed to be. We filtered some of the shots to make it seem more eerie. Also, I made the jump cuts precise and shocking. Lastly, I put in some credits for what we had so far. I looked at my storyboard as a guideline. We changed the font that we had in mind to another one that felt fit the storyline better. All in all, I had a lot of fun filming with my group and we all agreed on our next steps.

Production Blog: Props

Image
Before my group and I start filming, I want to give a brief overview of the props that I will be using throughout my film. First, I will need to buy a bulletin board for the scene where the stalker's room is shown. Here, there will be pictures of Chloe and her information including birth certificates, grade reports, and other legal documents. There will be manila folders that one of my groupmates bought and red yard with push pins to make the scene look even more realistic and set the creepy aesthetic. The picture of "Chloe" is really an image of Lili, one of my groupmates. She is still having difficulty choosing a picture but the film will be better-suited if it was a close-up portrait with just her in it. This will allow the viewer to see that Rachel, the stalker, is strictly keen on Chloe. There will be pictures in the folder and an additional portrait in a frame that we must buy as well. Furthermore, I will need glasses for the stalker, Rachel, so she could be "h...

My group and I did our first day of filming on September 29. We needed other props to record some of the scenes, therefore we did what we could with what we had at the moment. Our roles this day varied from person to person. Lili changed her outfit to look more vintage which will be the theme for our commercial. In addition, Lili who is playing "Leila" was acting as if she had forgotten her backpack in the first scene that we were able to take. Aleiah who is sitting next to her does a little shuffle and looks to both sides as if she were confused and then ran out of the camera. This was our first scene that we took, because we all decided that it would be a good idea to have our base done before we continue shooting the rest of the commercial. The middle part of our commercial could not be completed yet, because as I had said earlier, we were missing some props. With the time remaining, we then shot the last scene where "Leila" is walking up the stairs. Therefore, o...
