First Takes
Hello again!!! Today is Monday and I am back for the first production blog of this project and I am very excited that I have completed my filming of the opening scene. This scene has begun by setting the tone for the horror film which will unfold scene by scene. With each passing day my momentum of filming gains traction and I am starting to get into a groove. With my opening scene I filmed it in my girlfriends room and played with lighting and other factors. I did not want it to be too bright as that would give too much of an energetic vibe and that is not the tone of the film at all. Instead of turning on the celing lights I used a lamp as it was moodier and not as in your face. Another tactic that I used was to add props to give a further meaning to the character in the film. My girlfriend has done an amazing job being the actor so far and I really enjoy being the filmer. I am using my iPhone in cinematic mode because the quality is very good and it is shot in 4k resolution. I also do not have the budget in my film to buy a high quality camera as I am also just a high school student. With me being the filmer I get to express my creativity through the lense and showcase the meaning behind the actual shot with the tone and mood of the set.The road ahead may be long, but with each scene completed, a sense of accomplishment grows bigger and bigger. From the excitement of the first day to the satisfaction of wrapping my first scene in this project. As the journey continues, scene by scene and day by day, the promise of a remarkable film on the horizon becomes ever more apparent to me and I am very excited to continue further and share my creative mind the film making space with you.
