Preparation Filming


 Today was the last day of school before break. Today I had a lacrosse game again but because it was a PSD I had extra time beforehand. I took out my camera and cleared space so when I travel I can film. Around 1:00 pm I filmed some clips outside and inside to try out different angles. Last project my camera wouldn't zoom in smoothly. So for this one, I took tester videos and learned to zoom in and keep a steady hand. Additionally, I had my mom help out with moving clips. For example, we filmed one as the door opened so we can see what it would look like on film. In the final task, I plan to have some Title names as the door opens. Then I had my mom sit in the driver's seat of her car, and we filmed clips of this. In the final task, there will be the same person looking at each other from different cars. For my idea to work the camera angle and person will have to be positioned correctly. When my mom was in the car we noticed that the windows are too tinted to be up. So when we film again we will need the windows to be down in order to see who is driving. For my final task, I still need to decide which car we will use. It is between a truck and a Nissan. I might end up using both because the two people will have to be in different cars. This will distinguish between the two characters and show there is a "clone". or twin. The filming practice was easier than expected and  I believe it really helped out what directions I need to go in.

Starting the Final Task

Image
   Hi, my name is Jenna Lytch, I am a student at Fort Lauderdale High school, and I'm in the 11th grade. After completing 2 full filming projects I am now on my final task! For this project, I will be creating a 2-minute opening sequence for a film. I look forward to seeing what I choose to do. Because it is the longest project I will need to use a lot of ideas. While completing my final task I'm choosing to work alone. Although working in a group gives you more help, during the pandemic I find it would be hard. Working with others I would have to rely that everyone is able to meet up and film. However, because of the restrictions of parents or even safety, meeting up may be difficult. For the last 2 films I created, I worked alone. Both times ended up successful and I completed my project on time. Because of this, I am hoping this project goes smoothly as well. Additionally, even if I don't work in a group, I can still use my friends as actors. This would help because we a...

Planning Storyboard for my Music Video

Image
Storyboard scenes 1-12 In my first scene actor #1 will be in the frame either wide shot or mid shot. Actor #1 will be holding a picture and a behind the back angle will be slowly be zooming into her closer.  In the second scene actor #1 will still be in the shot but only from the waist up. As the song is starting out the main part says "do you remember" this will be symbolized through the video as Actor #1 is remembering her night on September 21st. Frame number 3 will now have a up close shot of her hand. When the shot is up close you can now clearly see the two people standing in the picture. The picture is warm and colorful and looks as if it was at a dance. The photo is know extreme up close and is in the same position. As the video goes on you can see that the photo comes to life. This photo is now "moving" because Actor #1 had a flashback. In scene 5 you can now fully see actor #2. This actor is seen putting on a record for the music. Scene 5 is still up for d...

Production Blog ~the importance of scenery

  In the process of my final task, props and settings will be very important. Many of my titles will fall onto props that I use. By this, I mean from the transitions of the different names. This will be done during my editing process. For example, when the camera cuts to a box, the titles may appear inside the box as the actor opens it. This creates fun transitions that use elements of the plot. During filming, I'll take multiple clips with different items. This allows me to have options for the backgrounds. The titles I include may also match the color of the prop. During certain scenes the setting may be the sky, so an example of matching titles is a dark blue or even white font color to represent clouds. Additionally, because the sequence is 2 minutes, the dialogue can't be very long. The dialogue will contribute to the setting and tone of the film. Creating a clear dialogue is the main objective. Moreover, the settings what the audience first sees. Because of this, I don...
