Last Day of Filming

 Last Day of Filming



    Today was the last day of filming. Well at least it was our last planned day of filming if we are able to accomplish everything we plan too. The last thing we had left to film was the car crash scenes. We started by setting up the props and setting and the did the beginning car scenes before the crash. In each of the three car crash scenes they first show April driving then he getting in the car crash then aftermath of the car crash. Since for the scene of the aftermath of the car crash required the fake glass and blood we though it would be best to put that on the scene after we’ve already filmed the beginning of the car scenes so we wouldn’t have to constantly be changing set with the props. We shot the first car crash scene but we had to  keep reshooting because I kept laughing. I am the on playing April in our short film and acting does not come easy to me. I kept laughing or sounding weird when I would say something, so that required some retakes and time to refill. I tried my best at times but I’m not an actor so it was difficult at times for me to say the lines and act. However even with this after enough retakes we got what we needed. The next issue we had was the angles not quite looking right. We could film the car moving and her driving it but it still didn’t seem to look right. Our solution was kinda abstract. We just decided it was best to keep shooting different ways until we found the right one. This ended up working out as we found the angles that really pulled together and flowed in the scene. Next we focused on the after math of the car crash. We couldn’t obviously actually crash cars so we had to make sure we got the right camera angles and cuts to make it appear as if one really happened. To do this it took a couple tries and different camera movements and we liked a few of the shots and decided to keep them as options to see which one we likes best in the short film. Overall the last day or filming went well and we were able to finish everything we needed to. Now we will start working on the editing process.

 Genre Research: Drama & Comdey Drama :     - Camera Movements Panning: This is used to show the characters and their surroundings especially in rising action or the climax when tension is high especially in a drama.  Tracking: This is used to add suspense and a tension      - Lighting Low-Key Lighting is used to build tension between characters which is a needed trade in dramas where there is usually a conflict between two or more characters.  Camera Angles High Shot Angles are used to demonstrate the lack of power in characters usually in a conflict.  Low Shot Angles are used to demonstrate the power a character or group of characters have in the situation.     - Elements of Drama External Conflict with another character Internal Conflict that only the audience sees  Tension, Anxiety, and Suspense in many Scenes      - Sounds Non-Diegetic: This is used to increase the effect of the action/dialogue of charac...

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...
