Schedule Filming

Scheduling- 

     The opening will be filmed all on one day. The shoot will take place on December 9th from 1:00 to 5:00. This date was established due to the fact that both my actor and myself have very busy schedule and this such so happen to be the only day that we were both available to shoot. The entire opening will be filmed in that one day. The plan going into the filming is to start off by filming all the shoots that require Scout in the scrubs (Ruben) as these are shoots are going to be towards the beginning of the opening and therefore continuity is not a real concern at this point. Then, all the shoots of Ruben as adam will be shoot as they consist mostly of close ups and more reaction based shoots and again are not affected by continuity. After that, Ruben will stay in the Adam costume and i will put on the Scrubs as parts of both characters are present in multiple shots and blood splatters at this point will after continuity. Lastly, The shots of Scout as the clown will lastly be filmed as they required a time to be put aside to due the make ups and set up the special affects and after these are film there is not return. That will conclude the filming portion but however the recording of the audio is necessary as all the effects and voice over are seperate. The dialogue will be recorded first as its a limited amount of time we have to complete the recording. Then all the atmospheric sound effects will be recorded and collect started editing and have a complete piece by December 20.

Use Of Conventions

Conventions-      The project uses a variety of conventions but two are prominent. In the project, multiple mid shots were used primarily to help establish the shot and situation, but other than than that the majority of the shots are closeups. This was done both intentionally for two reasons one is due to limitation of  space on the location I was filming the project, but mostly it was one of the ways used to build suspense as it reduced what the audience can sees, putting them in the moment and leaves them clueless on what going to happen next. The second, convention heavily used is the the use of incidental music as it really helps to build atmosphere and suspense but helps with pacing. In the first edit of the film, i didn't have any incidental music and the film just dragged on because as in the parts with no dialogue it just dragged on. It's important to mention that a convention that I challenged in the project it instead of having long drawn out takes to ...

Quarter 3 Submission /Revisions

Image
Quarter 3 Submission   For my Quarter 3 Submission, all the revisions from the Revision/Feedback Post were completed. At first look, one may notice not much change. This was due to the minimal touch ups that were done. One of the main edits that where done where with the opening credits. The font color was changed to something brighter to make it more visible. this didn't work so i decided to add a black outline to the font to make it stand out from the image. The audio in the beginning when the radio it being turn up has been made to increase in volume to actually make it seem as if it was being turned up. One change  not mentioned that I quickly changed back after I altered it was to keep the letterbox bars. I kept them simply because I thought they were visually appealing. I know that to accomplish the letterbox effect all that need to be done is to change the resolution of the sequence but for some reason it wasn't letting it me do that to the footage I collected so I...

Feedback/Revision

Feedback/Revisons- From the screening of the first cut of the film, the response was overall very positive.Everything was conveyed the way it was suppose to, successfully obtaining the response of  horror (disgust) and a bit of stale comedy towards the end. All the feedback was very similar, in regarding to fixing up the audio. It wasn't that the audio wasn't clear, but that I implemented a way to consistent clicking noise  that was too prodomentiant as in loud making the radio affect loses it believability. This an easy fix as in the audio program I was using to create the effect ,Audacity; i can simplify reduce the frequency of the clicks lowering the overall decibels of the clicks drowning them down but still have them be hear to give the illusion of a cracking radio. Another problem with the audio is that when Scout reaches for radio to turn it up the audio doesn't get louder so this can be fixed in Premiere by setting a read and write of the audio when the Scout tur...
