Refilming Day

Image
I spent my Monday afternoon filming a few scenes I decided needed to be fixed. The scenes I wanted to refilm were the scene of me making my bed and me cleaning my window. I did not really like how the second clip looked, mainly because of the bright light of the window washing out everything else. In the original clip of me cleaning my window, the light from the window was so bright, you could barely see me. This led me to refilming it, which turned out much better. Although the light from the window is still very bright, you can actually see me cleaning in the clip, which is a huge improvement. In the scene of me making my bed, I did not realize that in the background, I had left a shirt with my school logo on it lying on a chair near my bed. There are specific rules that we must follow when making this opening sequence. One of these rules being that we are not allowed to have anything with our school logo featured in the film. With this specific clip, I wasn’t able to crop the logo o...

Genre Research: Horror

Jason Voorhees from “Friday the 13th” wears a hockey mask, making him hard to miss.     Lighting (L): Dark, gloomy, black and white and very cool colors. Many horror films take place at night to give a tense, fear-ridden atmosphere.      Acting (A): The main focus is on the actor’s physical expressions and body language. Many times,...

Music Blog

The song I planned to use in my film is from “Tame Impala.” The specific song is “Eventually.” The writer and producer behind Tame Impala, Kevin Parker, had decided to make his music public domain. In an interview, he speaks about his opinions on making money from music and what it means to him. He believes that getting music for free isn’t necessarily a bad thing. He also doesn’t feel that stopping illegal music downloads is important. He adds that he does feel comfortable making money from larger companies and corporations because “they have money.”  This was a huge relief to me, especially after reaching out to multiple artists, hoping to be able to use one of their songs. I reached out to Wallows and Taylor Swift. However, I did not get a reply from either one of them. This worried me because I had no idea what song I was going to use in my film. I began to search through royalty free and public domain music, trying to see if I could find a song that matched my film. I began to...
