Production Blog- First Days of Filming

  Hello everyone, welcome back to the blog! This blog is going to be focused entirely on the process of getting the initial filming done. Starting with the planning of the first session. I spent my first few days of prep focusing on making a simple schedule. It came out as good as I expected, it wasn't anything special or groundbreaking but it would get the job done. The past two weeks had been pouring so I had to postpone any filming until the weather was clear. So while I waited for good weather I instead decided that I would start working on getting a working demo for the titles I'm going to be using in the Final Task. I started downloading Adobe After Effects and booted up a few YouTube tutorials. I then spent another couple of days familiarizing myself with the software. After about a week of waiting the weather cleared up and got myself ready to film. Plans to film were made and I got all my gear in one place. The first two pages of the storyboard were filmed first. The establishing shots and wide shots were done first. I used a tripod for this session of filming with wide lens for the shots I needed. I took about an hour to get all the first scenes I needed. For the upper body of  the characters wardrobe I decided on wearing a dark green button up for Alfred. And it goes with the theme and it fits the fact that green is my favorite color. For the lower body I decided on wearing a pare of sweats as they are the most comfortable and healthy for long hours on a set as they don't restrict blood flow like jeans would. And I haven't decided on wardrobe for the other main character yet but I will have that done soon 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...
