Production Blog


 Hi guys. This will be the last blog you will be reading about this endless production. I feel like we have been filming and editing this thing for about five million years now. We decided to reshoot almost the whole film so that it went seamlessly. Bad idea. Everyone was stressed, overtired. We were sick of being on the ground all the time. My Dad decided to do the filming this time. Each of us could really focus on our roles. We all wanted to get this right to get a good grade. We took into consideration all the feedback from classmates during the last viewing. I was glad we had fresh perspectives other than our own. My Dad was on a tight schedule, so it was good to have him to keep us focused. We had done this so many times now it was kind of robotic. We had kind of lost the spark until my Dad promised everyone hamburgers, fries and shakes if we got it done.  We really set to work this time. We were determined it would be the final and best take. When my Dad shouted it was a wrap, we all cheered. We ran to the car to go and get dinner. Filming any kind of production is not fun. I don’t know how people do this for a living.

In response to the first question, let’s break it down into two parts to better address both issues.   While filming this production, I chose to use a lot of shadowy imagery with fade-ins, fade-outs, tracking and sounds to build suspense without ever giving away the ‘actual monster’s’ face.   I used a variety of camera shots spanning from wide angles to close ups. I chose a variety of close-ups of the character’s faces to only reveal looks of horror and fear and to keep the identity of the ‘devil’ under wraps.    The music in the background starts out with a pleasant and low tone sound, with is paired with a visual of a clear road leading into the woods.   The tune becomes more ominous and the visual changes into a narrower and less visible dirt path lead

Reflection

After completing this project, I learned a lot. The first thing new thing I learned was the process of putting the project together. When it comes to putting the project together, there were many important steps that led up to the final product. These steps include Intro blog, Research and Planning blogs, Production blogs, Filming and Editing blogs, Project blog, and finally the Reflection blog. All blogs are twenty or more sentences, besides the Project blog. Also, all blogs must include a piece of  media. The Intro blog is a blog about your life, or you in general. The Research and Planning blog is blog explaining generally how you will be picking and choosing information that will be going into your final project. Production blogs are blogs about what you are doing to produce your final project. The Filming and editing blogs are blogs about what you are doing to edit and create your final project. The Project blog is where you embed and submit your final project. The Reflection blog
