Fixing Park Scenes

Though it was already decided that there would be no more significant changes, my group had a change of heart. As my group reviewed the film that was put together, I kept thinking there was a problem with the park scenes. After some time discussing what could be done about this, my group finally made a decision. Though it is almost time for the final film to be ready, my group went back to film the park scenes. I tried my best to edit the scenes my group initially put together but it was decided that the film would be much better if the park scenes could just be reshot. This sounded like a lot of work which was the main reason why my group didn't want to reshoot these scenes.  However, my group wasn't happy with the previously completed version of the film. Due to this my group went to Easterlin park again and started to reshoot all park scenes. The priorities of this filming session were to make sure all dialogue was able to be heard and sounded more realistic. This basically means my group had to alter the script. To do this my group had to change most of the dialogue during the park scenes to then make sure they aligned with the base scenes. This was done because the dialogue in the original script didn't seem natural and didn't match the setting and environment the film belongs to. However the changes to the script were not major and did not affect the camera angles or actions the characters would take. The script changes essentially made the dialogue a little shorter and sounded a little more realistic considering the character's environments. When my group got to the park, a new shooting spot had to be picked. This is because the park was much busier during the second visit. The main attraction of Easterlin park is the disc golf course, as well as the playground, fields, and small nature path. However, for some reason the first place my group filmed at in the park was closed off so my group had to chose another spot. The new spot was somewhat better but had a disc golf basket next to it and a pathway nearby. This caused a small problem because my group had to stop filming when people were walking by, but besides that there were no problems. Next, I will edit these new shots into the film. Since my group has now gone through this process before, this time it should be much easier to edit the entire film.

Filming in the House

My group first met at my house. I had made sure to previously move the things I didn't want in the background out of the room I planned on filming in. My group got situated  in the room which is by my front door. Though, I had some immediate concerns. This room has windows so there is a little bit of natural light that is shinning through. Though there isn't enough to light up the whole room. This was a little problematic because the only other option was to turn on the room lights. The room lights were making the shots look a little yellow in the clips my group recorded. However, after my group spent some time trying to adjust both the light dimness  and the curtains, my group was able to find lighting that would work with the camera my group was using. Since the camera on my partners iPhone is somewhat high quality, my group decided to film with my partners phone. To make sure the shots looked as good as possible, my group shot the clips in 4k with the iPhone. In order to ma...

Scene 1: This scene begins with extreme close-ups on the actor's eyes and facial expressions and shifts between the two. There will not be much background definition, and it will last for three to five seconds. Scene 2: This scene will consist primarily of a wide shot of the actor walking down a railroad, and will pan to follow the actor as they curve further along the track. It will last several seconds longer than the last. Scene 3: This scene will begin with a low angle shot and will move further up the actor's profile until the focus is on the sun. This scene will be roughly as long as the one preceding it, and will be filmed fairly far away. Scene 4: This scene will be a still shot of the actor sitting on a curb and will be flashed very quickly (~2-3 seconds) to serve as a placeholder between two more dynamic scenes. Scene 5: This scene will return to the shot of the sun before the still was shown, and the sun will subtly fade into a shot of a lit street lamp, with the ...

Intro: Music Video

  Hi, my name is Jack Strien. I'm 15 years old and in the tenth grade. I go to Fort Lauderdale High School and take AICE Media Studies in my 3rd hour class. I initially wanted to take the course so I could learn more about analyzing and understanding the things I see in media related content. I have watched and still do watch a lot of tv shows and movies. I think because of this I started to develop an interest in what happens behind the scenes. When my older sister went to high school she took a class for photography. Sometimes when she was doing assignments I would see what she was doing. I always thought it was cool how she was taking pictures from different angles. Though I do know AICE Media Studies will be hard at times I'm still excited to learn about it. I would like to establish at least a basic understanding of the different aspects of this class. Learning about camera angles and editing are the aspects I'm looking forward to the most. I don't have any experie...
