Production Blog : Filming

 Hello Blog, I am back once again! Today this blog will be about my process on how I filmed my commercial. As I mentioned previously, I have no experience in this whatsoever. Because of that I do not have any fancy technology that I will be using to film. However, the most technological thing I have which can be used to record is... MY PHONE. I thought about it and my phone has a pretty decent camera which I can use to film. For my commercial I was very limited on where I was able to film. I also could not film at school because it went against the syllabus so that really only left me with my house to film. I set up my phone in my room and I decided to record myself just talking. This took multiple tries as I kept messing up. I wanted it to be perfect so of course I had multiple takes. Sometimes when I was recording I would get a notification which would make my phone buzz and because it buzzes would make my phone slip. This would make annoyed but I then put my phone on do not disturb which solved the issue. I recorded a few scenes in my room. I also decided that I wanted to take some more videos just around my house or in a different environment. One thing I did not like about my room is that the lighting was not the best. My lighting is very limited cause I only have a lamp which is the only source of light in my room. Overall, I recorded about 10-15 clips. I still have to decided which clips I will edit into the final production when I am editing. See you guys next time for my editing process! Ill be back soon!

Production: The Final Pieces!

 Hello blog and welcome back to the final bit of how me and my group edited the film. This is the last part of what went down when we edited the film. As mentioned previously our group decided that it was best that we had "shifts" to edit the film. This was so everyone can have a fair share when editing the film. After I left the film with the amount of cutting I did even though it still needed some more cutting. I logged back on and noticed a lot was done since I edited. For example it was below the 2 minute mark. I noticed a lot more transitions and effect were added. The group did a lot but that does not mean that it is complete. There was still things that were needed and it was noticeable as well. When I got into my "shift", I logged in and quickly watched the film as if it was complete. First thing I did was think to myself what I could add that could make the film better. When I thought to myself I also remembered that one vital thing was not yet in the film....

The FINAL Bit to The Puzzle

 Hey blog Im back again! This blog should is the final blog before our short film is published. As mentioned in the blog prior, me and the gang had to reshoot a scene. Based on the comment that was given we felt that this was the best decision. We arranged the closest date because it was such last minute and the film is due soon. Of course since we were meeting again it had to be filmed at the park we were at the first time. I also had to go pick up the majority of the group. After that I had to drive to the park and it wasn't much but time was running out because it was filmed after school and we don't have much time till the sun set. We arrived at the park and first thing we did was set up everything. When I mean everything I mean EVERYTHING. We tried our very best to replicate it from the first time and to be honest it looked pretty spot on. When everything was set up we had about an hour and a half to film before the sun set. We quickly looked over the previous footage and ...
