Re-Filming Blog: Going Back to the Set

Image
After being told what to change, I planned to refilm with my group. The first issue to address was making the scene transitions smoother. This would give it a more cohesive narrative flow . I started with the opening scene, reshooting it to include bett er introductions for each character, to provide context. During filming, I paid attention to the lighting and camera angles, to match the suspenseful feeling. Next, I changed the ice rink scene. This time, I added dialogue that explained why the characters wanted to split up for a natural flow that felt less forced and made more sense to the plot. I also decided to reshoot scenes that we re rushed, giving more time for the storyline to develop more naturally. I w as careful to keep the camera steady and to avoid unnecessary movements that could distract from the narrative . When I w as doing the chase scene, I decided to add more suspenseful elements, reshooting it with different angles and pacing to build up tension. I...

Re-Edit Blog: Finishing the Film

Image
 After getting back all the footage from the refilm it was time to reedit. This would be difficult as I have to make the new scenes flow with the old ones. I first started by reviewing all of the footage, new and old. I wanted to see what would fit in well. I then laid out the scenes on the timeline, replacing or extending the existing sequences as required. The biggest bit of feedback was to get better pacing for the film. This was difficult to juggle with the time limit being so low on the film. I tested out different cuts and adjusted to help make everything flow smoother and make more sense narratively. I continually watched back the film as if I was the audience to see if everything looked good and made sense together. Another very difficult part of this process was getting the old scenes to look the same as the new scenes. With them being filmed on separate days and times there was a visual difference in light and color. To fix this issue I spent time color grading the f...

Filming Blog: Going to the Abandoned Ice Rink

Image
Before going to film there were several things that needed to happen before we could go. First, we needed to bring supplies and proper clothing. This includes flashlights, cameras, and dark clothing. Once all of these were gathered we set a date and asked to see who could go. Two members of our original group, Gabe and Ayannah, and a few of my friends, had to cancel as the plans did not work for them. With the group lowering in size we had to make a few adjustments to our original script. After these changes were made we were ready for filming. On Saturday everyone arrived at the rink and we headed over to begin. The first thing we did was write our names in various locations out of fake blood for titles. We then went around and used a retro camcorder to take pictures of each of our names to incorporate them into the film. Next, we began filming the opening scene. This consisted of our group walking up towards the ice rink and making commentary in order to give some context of where we...
