Week 13 Blog

Today in our final meeting for the semester we spent our time doing final touches. We reviewed the film. We made adjustments based on the majority vote. Although not all of us were there we managed to piece everything together for our submission.

All over i would say the experience has been interesting. We learnt that things never go to plan. Time wise especially. Things get in the way, people get sick, the weather doesn't cooperate, things need to be re-filmed etc. I found that everyone was on different pages on what we wanted to create from this project which is what made it especially difficult. We came out with something in the end but our differences in opinions is reflected in the execution of the film.

I did enjoy creating this film (besides from some differences in opinion). It was a good learning experience. Thank you.

BLOG 5 - Week 12

In todays tutorial we had to reshoot our entire cult scene. We ended up using a different location to make it easier for everyone so we can get it done in time to begin editing.

There was a bit of a rocky start to todays session but once we began filming it became more cohesive and worked well. We put way more dialogue in and it makes much more sense about what was happening.

We then set our tasks for what needed to be finished by the end of the week, little filming pieces, editing and visual pieces etc.

I found that once we finished re-shooting the large chunk of the film everyone felt more at ease about everything. Now its time for the finer details.

For this film meeting, we decided to back track a little and go over some details before we started re-filming scenes and editing. In this session we did story boards, movie poster ideas and editing some of the scenes that do not need to be filmed again.

We organised when we would re-film scenes and who needed to be there.

On the day of class we went to my place to film the bedroom scene and kitchen scene. It was a successful shoot and probably wont need too much reshooting done.

The next day on Wednesday it was time to shoot the cult scenes. It was quite overcast that day and windy but gave a very scary effect to the filming. We met at 3:30pm at King Edward park. We filmed a big chunk of the short film. People in the "cult" wore black and the main character wore normal clothes to contrast her innocence to everything.

I took photos of the scenery for reference when i render my storyboard.

For our second meeting together as a team we all assigned ourselves roles such as producer, storyboard artist, director, costume designer etc.

After assigning our roles we ran over the plot once again to rehash what was spoken about the week prior. We then began discussing sites to begin filming. We wanted our horror film to be set in a wooded area, to give an ominous atmosphere. We briefly discussed filming at mount sugar loaf or glen-rock. We then came to the conclusion that it was in everyones best interest to have the film setting near the uni as it was be easier for the majority to get too.

After giving some options such as civic park, centennial park or other parks close by we fell on king Edward park. It has a shaded area and trees surrounding it giving a spooky feeling.

For the other location of our film it was decided that my kitchen and bedroom would be a good location as it was close by to the uni.

Next on the agenda we discussed when everyone was free to begin filming. It suited everyone to begin filming next class time and the day after.

To begin this creative process we began a group discussion. In this discussion we brain stormed ideas for what we wanted our film to be about, the genre, the general storyline and things such as location, costume etc.

Whilst doing this I created a mind map to better organise our ideas and send them to our group chat for further reference.
