Putting The Camera Down

 Putting the Camera Down


Today was the day I finished all of my filming for the project. The filming day went ok with a few setbacks. However, overall I got done what I needed to get done. My first issue was keeping the camera steady when shooting a moving scene. I am recording with my iPhone camera and when recording and moving the camera it is difficult to keep the camera steady. So I created a solution. To film bike riding away I put the person that was recording the shot on a rolly cart. This allowed them to keep there had still and the camera still while allowing the shot to be a moving shot.  The next issue I had was getting to my movie location. I wanted to film on the beach. At first, transportation was difficult but I was able to figure it out and film there. I did all my filming at the beach and redid a couple of shots to get it the way I wanted. When I had finally finished filming everything and went to go transfer all the shots to the editing program some of my clips got deleted. So before editing, I had to go back and re film my first couple of shots. These were the waking up shot and breakfast shot. It didn't take too long to have those filmed and ready to edit again. I transferred everything to the editing and the first thing I did was get the song to overlap all the clips and mute the actual sound that happened during the filming process. That is where I ended my editing for the day. I just wanted to get all the clips that I just filmed organized and get the music over and do the rest of the editing the next day. Everything has been going well and I am excited to continue my project.

All About Me

  All About Me     Hi, my name is Vanessa Gilbert and I am a sophomore this year at Fort Lauderdale Highschool. I live at home with my mom and dad, and I have a sister who lives in college. I love all animals, and in addition to my family members, I have a dog names biscuit and two cats named rainbow and teddy who live at the house and are basically family. My favorite class in school is usually science but this year I am excited for a couple of my classes too. I especially am excited for AICE Media because I have always been really interested in movie making and how the idea of a movie comes together. Besides going to school most of my time is taken up by softball which is something I have played and loved since I was 4 years old. I play travel softball for a team in plantation and I played for the high school team last year too as a catcher. Softball takes up almost all of my time after school with practices and going to tournaments on the weekends but I still have a gr...

Comparing 9, The Short, and 9, The Full Length Movie

Comparing 9, The Short ,and 9, The Full Length Movie Short Film  Today I watched the short film 9. This is a seven-minute-long animated short film. I really enjoyed watching this short film. The characters were really unique. I honestly liked the rag doll's appearance of some and the robotic appearance of others. The setting was also very unique and cool. It had a post-apocalyptic feel and somewhat reminded me of Wall-e. The sound is what really made an impact on me most though. There was no dialogue in the short film. The only sound really heard is diegetic and score. The lack of sound helped set the mood of the short film a lot. It made moments feel more scary and suspenseful. The sound of the robotic spider characters made me feel as if I was inside the film. The plot was interesting too. The main character is a rag doll-like with a 9 on its back. 9 seems to have had a mentor or a friend in the past. 9's friend has the same appearance but with a 5 instead of on its back. The...
