Q3 Weeks 4 - Filming 1

 

This week we planned out the steps of our filming process. We had to discuss what we wanted in each clip so the filming process would be faster once we were on set. We also planned what day we were going to film. We ran into issues figuring out time and place worked best with our busy schedules. We ultimately decided to film in the school parking lot after school one day.

Q3 Week 1 - Brainstorming

1. Rise: We saw a wide variety of shots including many close-up shots to focus on certain items like the player's shoes or soccer ball. The editor also used big letters to tell the viewer the title, actors, editors, etc. There was music in the background that set the scene and gave the viewer the feeling that the soccer player was working hard.  2.

Q3 Week 5 - Filming 2

It starts with Robin approaching the car and looking at the note.

It ended with Robin in the trunk and us showing Emma that we caught him. This part went smooth for the most part but it took a few tries to get the timing and distance from the camera correct.

Q4 Week 1: Evaluate Your Peers

What specific elements of the film opening did you like? What specific elements of the film opening did you dislike? Did this look like a movie opener and did it make you want to know what happens next? Explain. Was there anything that left you confused? ( be specific) What suggestions do you have to make this movie opener better? I like the different angles and speed throughout the movie opener. It was fun to watch. I dislike how it was difficult to hear him in the beginning. It does look like a movie opener. I am left to wonder why he is kidnapped and who is next. Nothing was confusing. Definitely have better sound in the beginning. A different weapon would be more reasonable. Also, the girls approached him very slowly, It may be better if they ran. All the camera angles. Inconsistent audio for the intro call, Yes, and it does make you want to know what happens next with the situation he has been put in. Nah. Different music choice, it didn't match the kidnapping...
