Filming Blog: Final Task

         Filming Blog: Final Task 

 

Over spring break I was able to conduct and finish filming for my final task. Reflecting on it now, it was the production that I took most seriously. While the commercial was great I believe this opening sequence can overcome it. During the break in filming, a lot of things went our way. We had ample amount of toke to shoot scenes of course because there was nothing else to do. The usual distractions of other classwork and priorities were out of mind. The basketball hoop at the court was still damaged but operable. The field which the scenes took place did gather much litter however. Parties taking place really caused it too look less than presentable. The actor and I however were comfortable and on the same page. There wasn’t any arguing or improvisation that took place. My direction over the production was well received. Other than the occasional shot being ruined by an unpredictable outside force. Being our younger siblings jumping into shots sometimes wanting to be apart of it. I took care of things like that and involved them a bit. For some of the low angle shots, I gave the camera to one of younger kids to record the scene. Prolly the most minute way to involve them I believe. It was better than having them interfere. Here’s a shot actually where one of the kids jumped in one of the “in bed” shots. It’ll be a screenshot because I stopped recording quickly after they tried. You’ll notice some fingers.

I started the opening of the play with a gradual opening to create a bit of suspense but, also to give the audience some time to get ready. The added track shot also adds a feel of the audience being their walking with jack, it's overall more intimate. Then after the track shot, there is a fast shot of the play and or movie getting straight to the point. (starting the show) The black screen transition is untimely to show the audience that one scene has ended and that was moving on to something else. This helps with older audience viewers as well guiding them to the next scene. The close-up shots added also add drama with it being a shot that happens out of nowhere. Also, the back and forth shots of jack's pacing add suspense as well to over exaggerate the feeling that's taking place. The showing of the clock or time passes by as creates more drama that keeps our movie and or purgative on the right path. On what we ultimately wanted our theme to be. The medium shot adds a se...

The film is fifteen minutes long and depicts the terrorizing of a father and son by neighborhood teens. Throughout the film we see the emotions of the characters.
