Filming Day 

                                                    This is Jordan in the image above.
Today was a major day of filming. We took our time running through each shot to ensure that the filming was done properly. We referenced and used a mutual friend, Jordan. Jordan Perez has a strong experience behind the camera and is a photographer. However, even though our camera man had his fair share of knowledge, it was important for my partner and I to still convey and describe exactly what we wanted for each shot. We believed in using the information learned from our Media Studies course to bring the opening to life. The camera we were using was also key component. We switched between an iPhone 12 in 4k 60, as well as a great camera my uncle lent us.

Here is the filming stick that completely SAVED us!!! Using this allowed for a steady hand and consistent camera height when being held. It is a simple selfie stick that made shots with movement so much easier. It was a challenge having only a few people to work with when making this opening and the filming stick made the difference.








We filmed the "waking up after the party scenes". For these shots we included a lot of movement and then went into a steady medium shot that followed a close up. Different angles allowed for the success and flow of these shots.

ITS DONE!! Film Opening

-
 Here it is. My blogging has been terrible. I haven't done great at expressing what has truly been going on and my planning behind my work. I lacked consistency and didnt bring much of what was being looked for. I feel that I learned much more than imagined but just simply couldn't put it into the blogs. Id even go far enough to say I retained more than some people who could write and write without stopping. Unfortunately I couldn't.  Putting my words out and saying what ive done was one thing I definitely struggled with. I mean I can express myself but as far as this project went, I was more focused on the product than telling what went behind it. I looked into editing technique, good shot angles for my CCR, and much more. At the end of the day I didnt bring my effort to the blogs and thats something that needed to be different. I really do like the result of the film opening project. I think it's what is being looked for and it represents the social group of my horror...

Critical Reflection

 Here is my Critical reflection #1. I put a lot of love, sweat, and tears into this and I really do hope it is successful. I used many camera angles and long hours of editing on a production app called Cap Cut. I purchased the Pro version for better quality and easier transition but it really didnt help that much. HUH..? maybe some apps just aren't worth the money for a premium version. Anyways enjoy this podcast discussion on the production and social group for the film opening "Black Out"!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5qWDCQY6ZA&t=4s

Reflection

  After a lot of effort, Im finally wrapping up this project. I haven't done these blogs well at all . This project has been both fun aswell as stressful. One key takeaway I have from this whole profolio project is being able to always make changes and I guess be adaptable when you face struggles or hard problems. Unfortunately alot happened and I wasn't able to commit to my blogs at certain points in time. Others I just didnt give great effort and when I did they turned out really good. It's like anything in life, you will see your results based off the effort you put in.  On one of our really important filming days an actor(my close friend tho) Rui, couldn't come what so ever. In response, my partner and I quickly somewhat changed the storyline. I didnt like this much but you gotta do what you gotta do. We decided that Dan, the character im playing and a supporting character mike would wake up and see rui's character missing. This actually set everything pret...
