Storyboard

Storyboard-

     For this project I was only required to draw and plan out 6 of the shots in the film opening, However, I felt that by only completing 6 of the shots of the opening would be very beneficial. I decided that I would draw and plan out all the shots in the film to be able to visualize how the entire so I would have a coherent plan that will speed thing up when films as I wouldn't be wasting any time coming up with the shot and what I want to get out of it on the day of. Also, not to mention that due to this project needing to essentially be completed in a little over 2 weeks I had no time to waste and anything that would speed the process When creating the story board I referenced the script throughout the whole process to make sure I had every little detail planned out taking into account the limitations in room and characters. The shot were framed where they would emphasize a certain aspect of the frame. Fro example when the bullet removal is happening the bullet wound is slightly off centered to the right third to bring attention to it. I wanted Adam to be seen a less superior to Scout so almost every shot of Adam is in a high angle except the shot of him reaching for the switchblade to show that he made be outsmarting Scout by making it a leveled shot to adam it makes it seem like he is leveling out the playing field. Also when Adam stares at Scout it is a low angle to show the dominance that Scout posses. When all was said and a done the completed story board was a total of 65 shots, but only 45 different shots as it some are repeated with different variations. With this storyboard it will be useful to reference it along side the shot list when filming to get the right shots but also in editing to be able to piece together the shot in the correct order as they will be filmed in non chronological order.

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...
