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”

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”
