Refilming mall scenes

 Hey, blog! today the group went back to the mall to refilm most of the scenes since the last time we got sidetracked and the result wasn't enough for the overall film. On my way to the mall, I grabbed my tripod and extra bags as props. When everyone got to the mall the first thing we did was scope for quieter areas than last time even if it isn't the exact setting we were looking for, we really wanted the dialogue to come through in the audio as clearly as possible so the editing wouldn't be so hard on us. Most of the scenes were going according to plan and others weren't. For example scene with the characters Julie and Natalie had to be completely changed because every store we went into had copyrighted music and we didn't want to get that in the film. The waiting scene of the character Neveah was also changed because the location we planned was too loud. Because of these changes, some lines had to be improvised but not to the point that the storyline is changed. I tried to set my tripod up as much as possible since I was the one mostly filming and somewhere along production the part that holds my phone on the tripod was lost and I had to film some of the scenes by hand, trying to be still as possible. I'm hoping that these changes make up for the time in the overall product of the film and that it doesn't look awkward while editing. Besides filming the actual scenes that were planned, I also filmed significant areas such as store signs, the road, and random shots of the actors interacting to use as an opening sequence at the beginning of the film. Everything shot is filmed and editing is all that is left to be done. When editing and the scenes are not letting standards, the group has planned a day to reshoot scenes.

      In the short film it addresses the issue of selfishness and taking someone for granted. In the beginning of the film, it starts out as a moment of rekindling of friendship between the two characters, where they highlight each other on significant moments in their life separate life and the one they both shared before. By this the audience gets a grasp of the two personalities of the characters and as the film develops and the scene changes the audience also gets to grasp the unfavorable traits of each character. For example, in the film, the first encounter of the issue was the character going inside the house to get changed, and the other waiting outside for a long period of time, which showed how one character was acting selfish in regard to other character waiting outside. In the progression of the film, we see that this behavior continues but it gets continuously worse overtime, and eventually both characters engage in an active and direct argument over the issu...

Comparing Le Je Tee, the short, and 12 monkeys, the full-length movie

  Video:  What is your takeaway from the video? 12 Monkeys is a 1995 science fiction film that tells the story of a time traveler from the future who is sent back in time to prevent a deadly virus from wiping out most of humanity. The film explores themes of determinism, the potential consequences of time travel, and the importance of human connection. One of the key takeaways from the film is the idea that our actions, no matter how small, can have far-reaching consequences. The film also suggests that the future's not set in stone and that it can be changed through the choices we make in the present. Additionally, 12 Monkeys highlights the value of human relationships and the power of love to overcome even the most dire of circumstances. What good information did you gather while watching it? While watching the video I recognized clamps such as zoom ins to a medium close up when the woman is being shown in 12 monkeys. And how the shots of the people were taken closed up to c...

I am working with Nurdlie, a friend that I recently made. We share a lot of similarities and have the best time together. I chose to work with Nurdlie because I trust her with my grade. She is responsible and reliable. I trust that I can rely on her for help and support. She also shows a lot of commitment to her work. She is a visionary and I am a strategist, which made me think this was a good balance for a team. We’re skilled in different things, which I think could be helpful for this project. This way we can combine our ideas to make something that represents us. We share different ideas and perspectives and tell the honest truth about what we think of each. We tell each other when we make mistakes and improve on them. We work really well together. Nurdlie is also very time organized, which could keep us both on top of the schedule. Communication and efficiency are one of our strongest components, we keep each other updated and put time and thought into our work. We are both very f...
