Peer Review

            Today in class we showed our rough drafts of our projects in class, I got some feedback that I think will make my film much better. First off, the actors in my film were a little far from the camera in the football throwing scene so the audio could not pick up what they were saying very well. It is still possible to hear them, I believe the issue is very easy to fix because I can increase the volume limiter in Premiere Pro. At the end of my film the title for the movie is shown as well as my name, my name was bigger than the title of the movie. This was not my original intention but I must have missed it when I gave my film a final look over before submitting it. I also did not add the actor’s names in the movie, I plan on adding their names during the first scene. There is this scene in my film where I am filming behind the actors as they walk away and I start to run at them. Before I reach them the scene cuts and now you see them in the car perfectly fine. My peers told me that this scene seemed out of place and I should cut it from my film entirely. Another idea one of my peers gave me was when the actors are driving in the car, I should film the killer following the car and switch between the actors talking in the car and the killer following them.

Dialogue

  Dialogue Today I worked on the dialogue with my actors so they will have a better feel of what to say and how to sound natural. I told them that in some clips they can just tell a story of something that may have happened in their life recently. I believe using a story that may have actually happened will sound and feel like they are actual people living their lives. We picked out a few stories that may be good, for example, a story about one of the actor’s actual jobs and how he feels like he may have gotten fired. Another story is of a friend of one of the actor’s brothers and how she helped him clean up some urine off the floor after a party. I also told the actors that they can curse, told them this because I want the dialogue to feel as natural as possible and teenagers curse all the time. The actors that are helping me like to watch football and know a great deal about the sport, so I told them to argue or talk about football like they normally would when the camera is no...

Post Production 1

  Post Production 1             The first  thing I started off with changing was the running scene I had; in this scene, I ran at the actors as they were walking away. My original intention was to add suspense to make it look like they were about to be killed but then it cuts to them talking in the car. As one of my peers pointed out this scene felt out of place so I decided to cut the scene from my movie entirely. The next thing I worked on was making the title to the movie bigger than my name at the end. Of course, this was very easy to do all I had to do was click on the title and stretch it out, as well as making my name smaller. The next thing I did was add the actor’s names during the first scene. It starts off with Dylan in the car and as soon as the scene starts his name fades in, then once Nick enters the car his name fades out and Nick’s name fades in. I left the names up long enough to read but not long enough so when the film reall...

Filming

  Filming             Today I began filming my movie, I should be able to film all my scenes in two hours. What will take us the longest is the driving we will have to do throughout the day but there are some scenes that are filmed inside the car so that works out best for us. We had to redo the first scene because one of the actors turned on music that is copyrighted and I can not put in the film but other than that the first scene went off without a hitch. After that first scene, I secretly filmed some scenes of the two actors just casually talking to each other. I think I might be able to put a few of those conversations in the film. There were more people at Celery Fields that I would have liked but no one bothered us while we filmed so the people were not an issue like I thought they might be. The weather was cold and overcast, I would have liked a sunnier day for lighting but I had to deal with what I got. After filming...
