Filming Blog: Final Task


                                   Filming Blog: Final Task 

Over the past weekend, the actor and I continued filming for the final task. It consisted of multiple takes of the middle of the opening sequence. For some scenes I was able to record independently but for most scenes we had to alternate. Alternating the camerawork; I should say. It did seem that we had to extend filming to another date and time however. I would much rather stay on schedule but it’s
quality not quantity. Other than falling behind in schedule, filming over the weekend was actually pretty fun for me. I was estimating the quality of the opening sequence that would be made. Have to say, I’m pretty sure that the end result will exceed my expectations. I know though that I should not get ahead of myself, after editing you never know what could happen. I may have an over abundance of seconds with the addition of some edits. While we filmed that was a worry for me. Trying to keep estimate the seconds the scenes can be so I can have the best possible amount. Other than that, the shoot was a fun day. We woke up early once again, and got things down to a tee. There was some joking around during filming but I think every production needs a few laughs behind the scenes. I wouldn’t want to be an overwhelming director. Overall filming was upbeat and enjoyable, for the actor and I. Probably because we’re so comfortable with each other since we’ve done productions with one another before. As you can see above there is a screen shot of one of the takes, the push up scene to be exact, enjoy.

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...
