Production Blog

Hey welcome back! On Wednesday October 5th we filmed our commercial. It was filmed at my house. I was the videographer, so I did all the filming. I set up all the shots. I also did most of the directing. I got the props we needed for filming. I had to figure out what looked the best for some of the shots. One of the shots was in a mirror. So, I had to figure out where to stand to make sure that the camera wasn't in the mirror. I also had to make sure both Omnia and Natalia in the shot. There was a scene with an over-the-shoulder shot that turned into a wide shot. So, I had to pace myself correctly in following Marlo to get the over-the-shoulder shot. I then also had to get behind her at the right angle to get a  wide shot of both Natalia and Omnia in the bed. We had to do a couple takes for each shot, because someone would laugh or look at the camera. There was even a couple times were i was the one who ended up laughing. In a few of the scenes i had to adjust the lighting in the room so it wasn’t as bright. I also had to take some shots from a different angle so there wasn’t any glare. I had to turn off the fan in my room when we were shooting because you could hear the noise in the film. Over all filming and directing wasn’t that hard and i had a lot of fun with it, and i would definitely do it again. See you next time!

Done with filming

 Hello everyone welcome back! I'm very glad to say the filming has been finished for Bedlam. More filming was done throughout the week for last scenes we needed. Now i don't know for sure if the filming is officially finished, because editing hasn't started so i have no idea how everything will look when it's all done. If more filming has to be done then so be it. The last filming that was done was at Fransheca's house. The group wanted a scene at a psych ward and obviously weren't able to go to one and film. So some improvising was done. I had to be very careful when filming in the room because the room had to be bare. A lot of stuff had to be moved around. It worked a lot better than expected and was definitely the best choice out of all our bedrooms. Mine was already used in the production, and i have way too many posters and random things on my wall. Omnia's room is also pretty lively too. Fransheca's room has white and grey walls. Which worked very ...

Research: How to make a short film

Image
  Writing to what you have resources to is a strong saying that we’ll have to live by when developing our plot and script. We can only write with what we have.  There’s only so much we can do with the came ra that we’re filming with and the lack of mics. Knowing that we’ll need time to edit and fix the pacing of the film. There’s only 5 minutes we have, so we need to be careful on how much we film and the amount we’ll cut. Over filming is the best option, but we need to make sure the plot isn't one that doesn't have to be fully fleshed out to be able to understand. There does need to be payoffs of some sort and every scene has to count, there’s not room for filler. There also can’t be a lot of predictability within the film, which will be hard because of the groundhog type day plot we plan on using. T here has to be types of scenes that the audience won’t see coming , while also f ollowing the theme of the story . The theme will drive our plot, and it needs to be unders...
