Final Behind The Scenes

 

Camera Angles

 

 

This is the master shot used to show the setting of the hangout.  

 

High angle shot showing a height difference between the characters. It also showcases the layout of the enterence to the home. 

As Ariana opens the door, we use a master shot which also saved production time. 

The wide shot reveals all individuals involved in this scene and the setting they're currently in. 

This is an over the shoulder shot helping us know what Ariana is staring at. 

Lighting

 During this film session, I was able to use the orange lighting of the setting to my advantage while editing. The orange lighting in the unedited version of the film brought a sense of warmth and safety but when I place a bluish filter over the film, both the cold and warm colors clashed. I used this to represent the emotions and mood the characters were feeling. Although one of the characters were facing personal challenges along with Destinee having secrets, the friends still felt safe and comfortable with each other. 

New Script

 While doing our final film session, we found it necessary to rewrite our script as certain lines didnt come out as clear or concise as we wanted. This new script made it easy for us to film clearly and not stress over our tone and facial expressions. 

 

Editing Finale

 For the final film, I took a slight different approach with the editing but kept the visual filters and random black screen cuts in the film. 

In this editing session, I kept the same filter adjustment to create a cold eerie mood in the film, but I mainly spent my time on the text and how I can involve text to guide the audience and represent the horror genre through the title. For the text I chose a font that was offered on Capcut called Spire. The font instantly set the tone and signaled the specific type of mood to expect throughout the film. 

 

Title Sequencing for our film

     For our title sequence, my team has planned to do it at the very beginning of the film. As the editor, I don't know what font ill be putting the text, but I plan for it to be on the screen on top of an establishing shot of the setting. After the first 3 seconds of the title, I can do the billing. This billing will involve the directors name, the crew members, editor, writer, etc. 

Example from Halloween of how it will be done:  

2nd Film Session

     On January 19th, my crew mate and I were not able to make it to this film session, but my other team members were able to film certain parts that did not involve us. This meant that for our final film session, we would be spending less time on the recording of the film. So far, here are the results of the last film session: 

 

A Missing Crew mate??

    As of recently, a teammate of ours has not been participating as much as we needed her to. Her lack of desire has slowed down the film process, but we know that we must move along from her absence during this crunch time. She took the responsibility of doing the story board and writing the script, but both responsibilities have been or will be taken up by my other production team members. This lack of effort from her cannot be taken anymore so we're determining if we should kick her, but as nice as we are, we must discuss with her first. We'll still continue to finish the film without her. 

The representation we're aiming for

 Our film was represented through mainly a social perspective with a group of teenage friends who do typical things such as hang out, have sleepovers, and keep secrets, even ones that can ruin friendships. Through our film, we demonstrate these things but mainly portrayed the consequences of secrets. When keeping secrets, don't you ever feel that at some point the secret will come out? Well for Destinee that wasn't the case which makes her reaction priceless when she is faced with it. This film could also help friendships in the real world to express whatever they've been hiding from each other.
