Production Blog- Filming Retakes

 Hello everybody! Welcome back to this weeks blog! This blog is going to be focused entirely on the process of redoing a huge chunk of the footage from last week. Last week after checking my footage I discovered two problems. One of these problems was that majority of the last scenes footage was blurry, unfocused and hazy. The lenses must not have been as clean as I assumed even after I cleaned them completely. The second problem was that I decided I didn't like the wardrobe I picked for one of the characters. I thought to myself that what the character of Alfred was wearing was not fitting the theme of the genre was much as I hoped. It was too formal of a wardrobe for a horror style film and it didn't sit right with me. So I went right back to the drawing board to figure out a plan to fix these two dilemmas. I spent the first few days trying to figure out a new costume for Alfred that fit the theme. After a decent amount of thinking I decided on something I thought was loads better than before. I choose a white long sleeve shirt for his upper body, and a pair of blue jeans for his lower. He wont be wearing shoes in his scenes so he will just wear a pair of white socks. While I was tweaking Alfred's wardrobe I decided I would also tweak the killer's. All I decided for them was that I would remove his hockey mask. I wasn't a fan of how it glared in the camera lenses. For the reshoot I had an easier time. I was able to film everything in the fraction of the time it took the last session since everyone knew their line. I also knew what I was looking for and where to film from. All of this streamlined the process and I was done in about an hour. Once I was done I made sure to check the footage and sure enough, the quality was crisp and as good as expected. That's all the time I have for this blog, thanks for reading!

It was a pleasure, goodbye.

Final Task- Peer Review

  Hello Everyone! Welcome back to todays blog! Todays topic is going to be focused mainly about a peer review of the Final Task recently finished. The following text will be takes from a friend of mine who gave his time to watch and critically review my Final Task. " The sequence, while gripping and atmospheric, also presented several areas for improvement.  Firstly, the use of eerie music and sound effects effectively set the proper mood and created a sense of suspense right from the start. The choice of soundtrack greatly enhanced the anticipation, making it a standout element that should definitely be kept.  However, the pacing of the title sequence seemed a bit rushed. Slowing down the transitions between scenes and allowing certain shots to linger could amplify the immersion and build a stronger connection with the audience.  Visually, the use of lighting and shadows was commendable. The interplay of light and dark added depth to the scenes and added to the over...

Production Blog- First Successes

 Hello everyone and welcome back to the blog! Todays topic is about the first few sessions of filming for the music video. The Florida weather finally cleared up and was sunny for the first time in a while. I took this opportunity of good weather to start the filming process for a few scenes. The scenes I wanted to get finished up where the, forest  scene, the beach scene and the open field  scene. I planned to film these three scenes throughout the course of two days. For the beach scene I needed to catch the sunrise to make the scene more pleasing to the eyes. So I needed to be up at at the beach at around 7:00 in the morning to film. I spent the first day filming on the beach and got all the clips I needed for the scene. All I brought with me was a tripod and the costume I chose for the film session. I chose a red tank top and a blue pair of bathing trunks so that it would be safe to in the water since they are light clothes. I spent the second day filming the field sc...
