Production Blog: Record a clip

 Today, I started to record a few clips for my film. This is the only clip that I am responsible for. Since I am the director for today I had to make sure that the weather will enable us to film. Then after that I had to pick up my cousins. I had to buy a few props such as chalk and some jump ropes from my nearest Dollar Tree. Since we were going to be outside I made sure that they wore masks to follow COVID-19 protocol. The first thing we shot was them using the jump ropes. I recorded the scene where they are just jump roping. I filmed it through multiple angles. The first thing that I did was film a long shot. Afterward, I filmed a two-shot of Raynaiah and Nica jumping rope. They were getting thirsty.  So, I went inside and gave them cold water bottles. This is when I figured out it was a good idea to record. I got a close-up of them drinking their water with a bright smile at the end. I am unsure if we are going to use that clip but I rather have more clips then a limited number. After they replenished themselves we took out the chalk. With the chalk, we started setting up the hopscotch game. We drew ten boxes on the concrete and wrote the number in each box chronologically. While they were adding the finishing touches I recorded them at a high angle. Once they were done setting up they played the game. I recorded them at a low angle and an over-the-shoulder shot.

Production Blog: First Group Filming Session

Image
 My group and I have finally met up. I had to pick up one of our actresses, Mya. At first we set up a time to meet but my team member had an appointment so they tried to filming earlier. Unfortunately, we ended up filming the originally scheduled time because I live in Deerfield and had to drive to Fort Lauderdale. We met at Akiel’s house and got right to work. The first thing we did was film the establishing shot. We took multiple shots of the neighborhood. One way we did this was by getting high ground. We did a 360-degree overview of the neighborhood. We only filmed scenes 1, 3,5,10, and 11. We then drove to the Corner store and went inside to ask for permission to film. Once we received an okay we filmed the scene of Akiel looking for a snack. Then we shot an eyeline shot. We had to reshoot the scene from different angles. Mya and I set up outside of the store. Once Akiel was done with his solo scenes we filmed our scenes. We filmed the speaking scene but the environment was ve...

Title Blog: Drama Genre

Image
The title that is displayed in this opening sequence is the name of the film, Saint Judy. You also see the writers, directors, editors, music by, actors, and product names. They make sure they put the production company name, who’s the film by, and what type of film it is. In the opening sequence, there’s a flag, a group of people, and a courthouse. You also see a jail cell, police, cameras, and a library. I see documents, the statue of liberty, and apartments. The flag represents the United States of America. The group of people and the poster is saying they are protesting for something. The jail cell, police, and the courthouse mean someone is in trouble with the law. The camera and the apartments would be that neighborhood is being watched. The documents, library, and the statue of liberty mean someone is preparing for a case. The film establishes the feeling of Drama because of the natural lighting. It makes things seem more realistic. They have a courthouse, with the police, and a...
