My Filming Process

Hello everybody! My group and I were super excited to start filming our opening scene. Since we were filming at my house, o ur first step was to move my dining room table so we could use the plainly decorated background for the scenes involving Johansen and me. We grabbed some simple decorations inside my home like a side table and potted plant to add to our background. We did our best to mak e my house seem like a professional atmosphere, that of a therapy clinic.   Here is a photograph of Jamil recording a scene between our characters, the therapist and the patient.    We filmed the majority of these scenes between Johansen and I , one day after I created the script a nd shared it with the group.   Here is a photograph of us going over the script and stage directions . (Featuring my little chihuahua, Timmy, at our feet) Our main cameraman , Jamil, was also present during this to ensure he knew what kinds of shots and movements we wanted for each scene. There...

Composition of Film!

Welcome back to my blog! This week I learned about composition ! More specifically, framing and depth of field.  Here are some of my clips showcasing the different framing styles and focus depths I learned. 1. This is my example of a standard focus scene. Here, the background is slightly blurred as opposed to a shallow focus. As the subject sits alone on a bench, the light blur of the background enhances the feeling of solitary. Being surrounded by a few other students, yet not having them pull away from the main actress's attention, helps the audience feel the same sense of tranquility and the demure display of the subject as she looks off into the distance. 2. This is my example of a shallow focus scene. Here, the background is heavily blurred compared to a standard focus. As the two individuals converse, all else occurring around them is left in the distance. This provides a more intimate feel of the conversation they're having at the table, across from each other.

Editing and Transitions!

Image
Hi! This week's blog post is about the different editing transitions and techniques used in film. I've chosen the opening of a classic 1995 movie: " Clueless " Here is the clip of the movie I've decided to analyze for different forms of editing: Here are some of the editing techniques I found: 1. Firstly, the editor uses a fade at 0:01 where the screen goes from black to the opening of the movie where the video network and company are displayed. This editing technique adds to the construction of meaning by help ing to seamlessly introduce the audience in a simple yet well-rounded way. By taking the viewers from the plain black color into the start of the film, the y’re encouraged to feel curious about the next scenes and how the film will begin.   2. Then, at 0:33 the editor chose to include a montage of the protagonist, Cher, and her friends having fun an d laughing at restaurants, pool parties, and while driving. This, in addition to the mise- en - s c...
