Production filming

 Hey blog. My groupmates and I started filming on the 22nd of march. Upon arrival, I was greeted by Sarah. She took me up to the party room where we would be filming. There at the film room, we sat and waited for our other group members. While we were sitting me and Sarah set up the party room to get ready for filming. There brayden arrived. Followed by then luke. Thandi showed up an hour and 30 mins late. Upon arrival it was 6:30 when we started filming. We film the opening shot of an outside view of the building. This establishing shot was meant to give a visual of the setting for the opening credits. The next shot we filmed was a High angle shot of us walking through the building corridor. The next shot we filmed was a shot of us walking into the elevator. This was the last shot we filmed for the day. We decided that we would continue to film the following Wednesday. We then just sketched out our next shot for the following week. We will film the shot of the elevator opening and us being there on Wednesday to start. We then enjoyed the rest of the time we had together. Overall a great first day of filming. We are exited for next week.

Critical reflection of In the shadows

In  the Shadows is a short horror thriller film that explores the vulnerability of young women in isolated spaces.   It follows Sarah, a seemingly normal young woman, going through a normal morning routine, who becomes the target of a sinister stalker during her nighttime jog. This critical reflection will dive into how the film represents social anxieties, utilizes branding elements, engages its audience, and leverages research to inform its narrative and challenge and use genre conve ntions.   In the Shadows reflects a pervasive social concern, the abduction of women in public spaces. The film opens with a mundane morning routine, es tablishing S arah's ordinariness. This normality is shattered as she ventures out at night, a seemingly innocuous d ecision that becomes fraught with danger. By portraying an everyday activity turning sinister, the film taps into the audience's fear of the unknown and the vulnerability women face even in familiar surroundings. The u...

Massive mistake rescheduling needed

 Hey blog. This past weekend we finished up our short film in the shadows Upon editing I realize a massive flaw within our film. Though our filming went great with Brayden and Sarah nailing their roles to a tee, I made a mistake. I filmed the entire film vertically, an absolute travesty. It was as if the film was supposed to be on a social media app you scroll by, obviously not proper for the formatting we intended. But its not the end of the world a we have a lot of time to re shoot. I'm not going to dwell on it however as again its just a small bump on a long road. Other than the actual formatting of the film being wrong the scenes themselves are very good and I am pleased with the outcome. We will just consider the first shots as a simple rough draft. I will talk to Brayden and Sarah about another filming opportunity. Again our schedules this year has with out a doubt has been the busiest we have ever been. With work and sport conflictions between all of us, someone is going to ...

FIlming of video

The first filming location we had in our storyboard was set to take place on las Olas beach. That, however, was not in the cards for the day of filming as we had no ride to las Olas beach. So we had to make do with what we had. Thankfully Galeria mall offers cool displays. Meaning lots of places to improvise and make cool shots with. We started our first shot outside. Galeria mall has a display of 2 giant and brightly illuminated rain deers that really stick out for our shots. We filmed by having Brayden do the entire songs at our different locations so we could get any shot for any part of the song. This was done so that I could do most of the work for the editing. We filmed the next shot at the big tree in the middle of the mall. The shot was a medium-long shot showing all of Brayden in the frame as he dances while sitting under a Big Christmas tree. We then shot a shot where its a close-up of Brayden's face and the camera pans out to reveal the tree in the back. In our next shoo...
