The Shoot

The Shoot-

     Overall the Film shoot when smoothly and as planned. This was evident as the shoot was complete in 2 hours instead of the intended 4 hours scheduled. All scene except one were accomplished as a scene that required blood splatter wa scrapped due to it not working out but it it wasn't a very crucial shot that would effect the film. However, recording the audio proved to be very difficult for many reason. First, the microphone levels where not registering correctly and the audio turn out either too high or too low. But, after playing around with the setting manged to reset the levels back to normal. Lastly,  the sound proofing of the room proved to be very bad as  any sound recenatated through the room echoing constantly in the mic as can be seen in the mic levels. Also, the family members of Ruben didn't get the memo that we were recording as they were extra loud when it came to recording the audio. But, at the end the recording turn out good enough to begin editing the complete product.

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...
