Final Task: I Started Filming!

-

 



Today I filmed at a gas station (new location). It was a Shell station in Lauderdale Lakes. From there I filmed the car from the curb on Oakland Park Blvd and State road 7. I filmed while the car was driving on the main road and turning into the gas station. I filmed on my iPhone 12 in landscape mode. It has a dual-camera setup with dual-LED flash. Its primary camera has a 12 MP sensor with 1..4um pixels and 26 mm-equivalent f/1.6 lens. On the flip side the Ultra-wide camera has a 12 MP 1/3.6 inch sensor and 13 mm-equivalent f/2.4 lens. I'll be shooting at 1080p video with 60 fps.

I filmed long shots and close-ups of both Olive and Hermione talking from a front view and got behind the shoulder shots as well. I used natural lighting from the sun. And later on in the day, I went back to the same gas station and filmed these scenes at night for variation of which direction id take during editing. During the night time, I used the natural light from the moon while having the bright lights outside the gas station hood. This was a short filming day but passing at the gas station was super convenient at the time and will fit perfectly in the movie.

Our Pitch for Project! - Short Film

      We've been tasked with a Short Film that's supposed to be the length of five minutes. I am working with a group and spent about 2 days brainstorming and came together with ideas and we collectively decided on a product.    Our main pitch and film will be about a man and his wife whom he has just killed. She's been put in the trunk of his car and it will begin with the male actor closing the trunk. Afterwards he's being mentally strained and traumatized with overwhelming guilt to where hes hallucinating his dead wife in his car and around him. Playback's of their memories together will be shown to develop character relationship. The woman's dialogue will be her soothing/downplaying the situation because his subconscious is trying to relieve him of guilt. He'll be completely overwhelmed. Wrapping up the film will be him stopping and getting out of the car to then, walk out into the road to end his life.      The entire film will take plac...

Genre Research: Me Before You 2016

-

  Me Before You was a full on drama influenced and led by romance. A man was living a lavish, wealthy and adventurous life until his life changed completely after being in an accident that left him paralyzed. Louisa enters his life as his caregiver but becomes so much more by loving him and wanting him to find value in his life. But in all her efforts, his mind didn't change. A necessary convention of drama was character development. Within the movie, Louisa grew personally and it's because of her experiences with Will. In my film I'll be sure to include that development. Another thing that made this movie successful was the irony in some parts. Will used to jump off cliffs into oceans and since he cant walk, going back to his old life isn't even an option. Lastly, was the unpredictable ending. The continuous drama of what'd happen next and the constant rising of issues made it interesting and I'll be sure to take that into thought when creating my film.

The Drive, Short Feature - Reflection

  How do your products represent social groups or issues?     Our film isn't vocally or directly focused on social issues however when looking for a deeper meaning, an issue that prevails is the male's mental state. To have killed someone he loves, to imagine/hallucinate them in his space, to then kill himself is a lot to receive in a short film. As we forge through an era where mental health is prioritized, this film was an easy development to portray this. Boys and men are prone to be judged for showing or expressing emotions. In the film, this bottled-up self-hatred, guilt, and uncertainty of the main character led to his own demise. Applied to society, this happens so frequently that people push it under the rug. Men should be allowed to have and express their emotions without feeling empty or weak. We are all human and it's impossible to feel anything. Dean committed suicide at the end of the film by walking out into the road because he couldn’t take anymor...
