Football and Volleyball Scenes


We filmed our first commercial. We filmed for the entire class period. We have the brand Nike. We planned to bring material for nike and film on the track and in the gym. I used the picture of the storyboard on my phone to see what to film. I used my phone to capture all of the shots. With the first few scenes I filmed. I got a close up of the football and filmed the ball flying in the air. I told the actor where to stand to see what was best. Next to film our next scene I was the actor. I played as a volleyball player and brought my own kneepads from home. I searched for a volleyball behind the bleachers. The knee pads said Nike. In the shot I pass a ball but dive on my knee pads in order to pass it. We got a close up of the knee pads. I dove about 10 times for the shot. I also got a shot of just standing and passing. After this I sent the videos to everyone. We then discussed which clips were good and which ones we have to edit. I am not sure if all of the clips are good and can make a 30 second commercial, so I am hoping we get another filming chance.

What we picked!

   After thorough research and thought, we've decided on the Drama genre. Horror, drama, and comedy are three entirely different genres, and are rather difficult to compare. Our pitch has a rather dark and serious aspect to it. With this, concluded that the lightheartedness of a comedy was definitely not the way to go. Aspects of a comedy include things bright and joyous lighting, fun props and light makeup. It is clear that a film capturing battles with substance abuse and addiction would not be portrayed in a breezy light hearted way. Further, popular movies under the comedy genre, like Step Brothers and Mean Girls, have none of the vision that wee see in our movie. This left us to decide between horror and drama. While these can both have chilling, surreal aspects, one just fit our theme better than the other. Horror films make use of dark lighting, setting and mood, but horror does it as the scare the watchers, and we don't want to go THAT dark. Horrors use a lot of eerie ...

Production: Finding the Perfect Location

Image
 Today I went over location of the shoot. I knew majority of the film would be shot in different places of my house. For scenes where the father is not in his daughters room, I wanted to figure out the best location. I walked around my house considering suitable settings. My mother has rather "glamours" taste, and loves to make the house look nice. This in mind, I had to be sure there were places I could take shots that wouldn't portray any sort of lavish scenery. In the scene where the father is passed out in his chair, I had a vision of a big, brown reclining arm chair. However, I do not own any type of chairs like this, just rolling office chairs. Instead, I figured I could use the end of our brown couch. My tv in room is rather plain at the moment, and has brown walls, so it seemed fitting. I tried out different lighting to see what would fit the mood best. I found that nigh time with the back kitchen light on gave just the right look. Further, while I initially thoug...

Title Research: Gattaca

Image
1.  How many titles are displayed during the opening sequences to the film?  Which ones?     There was a total of 18 title scenes, 20 including the two quotes at the very beginning. It started with the quotes then went to the main production company(Columbia), the production, who the film was by, finally the cast. They showed two cast members then the main title, Gattaca, then the rest of the cast. It is assumed that the two first cast members listed are the main actors. Then finally, the other important people that added to the film at the end. 2.  What connotations do the images carry?  ( how  do you they make you feel) The imaging at the start is most just blue screen. It shows something falling and bouncing around in the background. Then at the end you can see a main shaving his beard. The movie is starting at the end of the title sequence. The imaging at the beginning make me feel wonder as to what's going to happen and leave me sus...
