Filming Blog: Filming Scenes 4-5

Hey, blog I'm back and I'm going to be talking about filming scenes 4-5. Today I filmed scenes 4-5.  With limited time we were only able to complete 2 scenes. But we have been able to plan and figure out we should be able to finish our filming the next time we film. Even though we only filmed 2 scenes I believe this was our most successful day filming so far. I say that because we were able to work more cohesively as a group and we worked more efficiently.  In these scenes, I was the designated filmmaker because I had no screen time in those scenes. I have enjoyed being behind the camera and being able to take a more hands-on way of completing this final task. This has allowed me to gain more experience in being behind the camera.  We have planned it to where even though we have only filmed a little under half of the scenes we still have lots of time leftover for editing. This was key for us to do because it allowed us to have extra time to fall back on if we hadn't finished filming. In the scenes, I choreographed them and planned where everyone would be placed to make sure to capture every element in the scenes. This helped us to complete these scenes efficiently and quickly because of our short amount of time together. I play the role of the killer which hasn't been on screen yet, unfortunately. I hope by the next time we film I will be able to be on camera so I can gain more experience in front of the camera instead of behind it. Overall though the filming went smoothly and I have gotten to understand the importance of filming and how complicated it can get. But I believe this group can work together and we can put together a quality short film. We should be able to meet in the coming days to continue filming fingers crossed! Where we should be able to finish our filming. I will continue to you posted. See you soon blog!

Movie Research: M3GAN

   1. What elements (Conventions) of the genre that you chose to base your final task on does this movie have?    M3GAN incorporates many elements that our group has chose to base our final task on. For one, it stars a lonely young girl, who seems to have lost everything. The movie seems to have the perfect amount of suspense, which will 100 percent be used in our project. Darker lighting was another thing that stood out during this movie, adding to the skeptical feeling of the audience. Our final task will be heavily based on all of these conventions, which M3GAN seems to incorporate well.    2. What elements (Conventions) of the genre did the movie have that you like?    Although M3GAN is a horror movie, it still uses comedy. Sometimes rather dark, but appealing to the audience as it reassures them that it is still something that they should enjoy. We are also a fan on how it has a deeper meaning than the one presented, which is how to deal with...

Filming Blog: Scenes 6-12

 Hey, blog I'm back. Today I filmed scenes 6-12. Today was my first day being on the other side of the camera. I was very excited and thrilled to be able to get some experience in being in a short film. My role is the killer/stalker of the protagonist. In the first scene, my character is in you see me lurking in the shadows as Rowyn is going on her run through the neighborhood. This scene was hard to film because it was hard to keep composure during this scene. But, we ended up filming this scene and moving on. I appear later on outside of Rowyn's window leaving a mark on her window. This scene was fun to film because we used fake blood and I had to submerge my hand in it. That was a weird experience but I'm glad I've been able to do things like that and try new things such as that. I was able to be very productive today because of collaboration with my group members. I am very proud of my group for being as productive as we were today. Today was by far the most demandi...
