When I was initially assigned this project, I was in Georgia. Therefore, I wrote my script and my “color paragraph” blog based on the atmosphere there. I was randomly told by my family that we were going home that same week, after I had already based my whole film around being in Georgia. I tweakedContinue reading “Location Change/Sound Effects”

When I was first assigned this project, I was stumped when it came to idea for the theme. While I have done horror for previous projects in this class, I knew it would have been nearly impossible to pull off well by myself, and to acquire the materials for it during these times. I thoughtContinue reading “Inspirational Themed Film”

While shooting “Quarantine” I quickly discovered a huge obstacle. I didn’t have any equipment to work with. The most important piece of equipment that I was in need of was a tripod. Working with only myself, I had to be the actress. So, that meant I couldn’t hold the camera and had to rely onContinue reading “Equipment: Quarantine Shoot”

Making this final product really forced me out of my comfort zone. Originally, I was able to work with my group members on assignments in Media Studies. However, we weren’t allowed to work in groups for this project due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Before, we all split up work amongst ourselves and we were ableContinue reading “Working Individually”

 In my film “Quarantine,” there aren’t very many props being used. One thing to set apart the depressing tone at the beginning from the upbeat and inspirational tone that comes from the ending of the film, however, is the lighting and scenery. For example, in the beginning, I will be seen in a dark roomContinue reading “Color in Quarantine”

One of the key components of our film is the lighting. The lighting sets a visual mood and atmosphere for the audience. It also guides the audience’s attention, reflects the psychology of characters, and defines/supports the genre of the film (see website). In our film, we will use the common three point lighting technique, however,Continue reading “Blog #23”

Music is an essential part of any film, whether it be diegetic or non-diegetic. Diegetic music is music in a film that the characters can actually hear. Non-diegetic is only heard by the audience, and is not playing in the actual scene. For our film, we are going to play non-diegetic music. The music willContinue reading “Blog #22”

The most important piece of equipment for our film is the camera that we use. Originally, we planned to use a regular iPhone camera. I didn’t favor this idea, as I wanted our final product to be the highest quality possible, but we had no other choice. Until a couple of weeks ago, when SarahContinue reading “Blog #21”
