Production blog: Filming

 Hey guys im back with an interesting blog!!



The film Murder Mystery is bringing comedy and horror as a mixture. When deciding how I needed to film, the scheduling was essential. Even though the scheduling was figured out before sometimes life happens. There was a lot of disagreement when meeting up to film and time was of the essence. When I filmed a previous project with my group scheduling wasn't as hard since I wasn't as locked in with my job. I add this in to say this was crucial for the filming process. 

When finally agreeing on a day to film everything was put into place. Once we got the schedule, the script needed to be changed. When creating a film it is great to add in that what is written in a script may not make it to the filming process. When it got to filming it was quickly realized that I wouldn't need all the scenes my group and I created. When first filming it was hard to be serious and not laugh. This took time from the time created so when things got serious, a rush was needed. When filming I realized that even though a script was written and some things were changed around, the movie needed additions. The acting needed to be decent so that a story could be sold. 

While working on the acting, I tried to pazzaz it up a bit. Another thing learning while filming was the angle of the camera. To make everything easier, filming horizontally for the movie aspect was learnt after messing up a few times. If not then in the future for editing then it would be a struggle to fix. Another thing while filming was the time of the day. Even though it was a horror movie, it was filmed in daylight because a night filming wasn't avaliable with scheduling. Figuring out a way to capture horror while at day time was proven difficult but over all was a hardship that passed.

In the next blog I will explain !!

The editing of the production.

 Hey, Hey, welcome back! After recording it was time to piece everything together. The editing app was decided to stick to Capcut. While editing I didn't want to have to learn a new software so Capcut was the best choice. I was already familiar with it so it just made everything simpler.  When deciding on the song we needed one that fit the vibe and when editing I decided to use the semi beginning of the song. The beginning of the song had too much intro while I wanted it straight to the point. I overlapped it a bit though so that it didn't just roughly go into the song without somewhat of an intro. While filming I didn't take into consideration the time limit as I should have. Some of the videos were pretty long in seconds so I had to cut it down. Having to edit some of each clips to 10 seconds or less without getting the main subject out. I also had to cut videos into two and put them together to cut the middle out as it wasn't important. With the video I had to cut i...

Planning blog: Location, participants, health, and schedule

Welcome back to my blog!  Today I'm going to go even further into the planning of how my group's opening scene came to be. Although planning this was so fun, there was also a lot of layers to it. I'll start by talking about our location. When first discussing about our location, we knew that it would have to be somewhere of a location region as well as a mall where people visit frequently. After conversing about it  we decided on Sawgrass Mall. We were satisfied with that at first the realized that we had an issue.  What we wanted to do would require us to be in a smaller and more confined room. After realizing that, we decided to back on the scratch board and make some compromises. With only a few minutes of deliberating, we decided to use a groupmates' house. With our location confirmed everything seems set.  So far we have all of our scenes set, assigned roles, and our location. Some of the things we're still looking into are the props we will need. With this bei...

Production blog; Filming

 Welcome back!!!!!  Now as stated in the previous blog some hardships were faced. One that I didn't mention was group disagreements. When in a group sometimes tension can run high and be difficult with working with each other. Now even though filming went ok it could have been better. I stated the scheduling made a lot of things difficult which led to some arguments. Now these arguments led tension that were not hashed out until the day of filming. While filming, I wanted our acting to be beyond surface level. This was impossible with the anger that was fueling the room. To be able to film I had to get everything off of the table. Two members weren't seeing eye to eye and in order to not show it while recording a discussion was prompted. After talking it all out, it was a better place to film.  While filming (part two) While filming, it was done in my house and I wanted everything perfect. To have a lot of the scenes authentic, I put a movie in the background so in the sc...
