CCR Day 3

 

1.       I became a better film maker in many ways. First things first, I learned how to differentiate shot types. I never knew the name or could identify different shot types before I began this course. I really didn’t think about it or considered it, now I watch movies and can point out the types of shots being used.

2.       To start, in the beginning I learned how to do shot types as well as how to differentiate them. I also learned about mise-en-scene. I never knew what this meant until I took this class and took notes on it. This helped me learn ab the costumes, background, lighting, and etc.

3.       As of editing, I have a hard time editing. I cannot find any good apps or websites. I used one on my phone to edit my film but it was very difficult to use and It wouldn’t let me add many of my clips in. I had to screen record most of them an add it in. Then, onto sound, it was difficult to record the sound as one video. But I couldn’t figure out how to do a voice over. If you talk while recording the video as one it is very hard to hear and understand. The background noises make the person talking sound very muffled.

4.       I will leave this class knowing lots of things I didn’t know before. This would include mise-en-scene, shot types, background noises, and how to shoot my very own film. Even though we just touched base on actually doing a professional film, it gives you an idea on how to create one. Before this class I would have had no idea how difficult it is to make an actual film.

Production company choice

 How will your film be exhibited?  In the most realistic manner, I think the only way for my film to be exhibited would be off of YouTube. I think that as well is the easiest way to publicize my film. It would be almost impossible to get my film on bigger cites such as Netflix, Theaters, or even Hulu. I honestly have no problem with displaying my film on YouTube because it is a platform anyone and everyone can access. Unlike things such as Netflix, where everyone needs an account with a subscription to even be able to view the film.  How will your choice of production company affect the way audiences engage with your film?  My choice of production company will affect the way audiences engage with my film by giving them a easier way to access it. If I place my film on YouTube I will most likely receive more views and subscriptions because of the fact that it is visible to everyone. Theoretically if my film was only in theaters then it would only be...

Finishing film script

 What is the shooting schedule for your film opening? I have not put it together just yet, but soon I will construct it. When I begin to put it together I need to speak with my actors to see when they are available. Once I speak with them I will be setting the location which is my house, the time will be sometime in the afternoon/ night on a weekend or 3-5 on a week day. I would prefer to begin shooting at a time when the sun is going down. So this does affect the time those can take off to help me shoot. So overall it will be sometime in the afternoon/night most likely on a weekend. Will you record any sounds during production? If so, how? Will you record sounds in-camera or using a separate audio recording system? I will record sounds during production, I want to have music in the background that creates some sort of  suspense. I will record the sounds most likely off of my phone which will be at the same time as the film is being recorded. I am not aware of any apps I can u...

Research

 I have began my research on horror movie film openings. As well as film openings in general because there is a large variety as of what I can do for mine. I have noticed they tend to have a lot of action from the beginning. I was expecting it to be very subtle and only give a brief idea of what the film could be about. One of them was an opening for the movie "SCREAM" and it is the man chasing a woman with a knife.  Now onto how this changes my film opening. I now have to re think about what I am going to create because I had the wrong idea. That is okay though because this is what the research part is for! I am glad I did it and now have a better idea of what to create. Looking at others films not only gives me an idea of what to create but it also shows me a large variety of others and endless possibilities.  Doing research as well has given me more motivation. At first my thoughts were very scattered and I honestly had no idea what I was working on. This has helped me...
