 Monstrous problems

Due to complications last class, I could not film.

Now, this put me in a bad scenario in which I only had one day to film.

Now another problem is that I did not have a monster energy drink.

I decided to remedy these problems in the following way.

I had first off decided to cut the monster out of the second running shot.

I had then filmed every scene except the monster drinking scene which I filmed using a can I spray painted to be green and black.

I then filmed it with my hand over normally where the logo would be.

With that out of the way, I decided to get some help getting a cameraman from another group.

They were glad to help and did the filming while I did the acting.

We had also met some other groups out at the track field where we met them.

They helped me time the clips to trim the commercial down to 30 seconds.

Past that next class, I should be able to begin editing in which I can finally add the final scene which looks like this




I can't really film that in person and I think it'll still be pretty cool.

I was pretty proud of the setting shot I did for the field.

I thought past that the filming went near perfectly.

The groups on the field respected each other enough to not interrupt each other.

They also didn't speak during recordings which save me editing time which I like.

Sadly I could not get the correct costume in this time but, I still think that's ok.

All in all even with the limitations I think it was a very very successful day of recording.

Genre research: Lord of War

The Movie Lord of War is one of my favorite Movies ever definitely my favorite war movie. When it comes to Nicholas Cage this is some of his best work and shows how he really can be an amazing actor. Even though as of recent he hasn't been in stride. It scored a 6/10 with average film critics and a 9/10 average with moviegoers. Common CAMS in the movie A lot of the shots in this movie are very uncomfortable it makes you feel weird and bad about what your seeing. Which is a very interesting way to film a movie. This is best seen with its opening sequence life of a bullet in which you take a pov of a bullet as its created and shipped out before it is used to kill a child solider. Common CLAMPS in the movie  The lighting in the movie is all digetic, due to the movie not wanting to seem fake. It wants to be real so that the user connects with the story more and believes that it is non-fiction or feels that it is. The costumes are natural clothing, alot of the protagonists wear suits du...

Editting and whatever rhymes with editing (Editing Blog)

Image
 Today I began the long arduous process of editing. To begin, I had to fix one scene. Initially, I had tried to film the scene in darkness, however, that didn't work out so well. So, to solve this issue, I had decided to try to film in light and then just make it darker in post. While it ended up working out, it definitely took away from the scene a little bit. It is still somewhat noticeable that the scene takes place in bright light, but hopefully, that can be fixed with some more editing. However, this may simply be noticeable to me as the editor and not as noticeable to those seeing it for the first time. But for now, it is serviceable. Past that I began the work of darkening up the extra scenes. Through this, I had learned that I had gone almost exactly on time instead of over or under time with the recording. After that, I began slicing the videos. Slicing the videos in and of itself was a challenge. It took a lot of time and effort. But, I thankfully got it done in the end. ...

 Today I began filming. We went out to the beach and unfortunately it began raining. So I had to go back into the car and wait for about 2 hours. Once we got out the sand was still wet . We set up the green army men and everything seemed in order. Then we started filming and learned unfortunately that pop it's will not actually explode on wet sand. This made it almost impossible for the pop its to explode. So then we had to deal with that problem. We took a slab of rock and put it under the sand so the pop it's would have more force. No dice still wasn't working. So then we decided to try to just do it on stone. Then realized the pop its actually got wet not allowing them to explode. So then we hiked it to Walmart to get more of them. We got there got out of the car. Went into the store. Looked around. Only to see that they were out of the Pop it's. This journey had infuriated me to the highest order. So we just both went home. We decided to try again the next day. I or...
