Production Blog: Second Location

 

___________________

Welcome back to the blog! I hope you’ve had a great day today. To recap, we found our first location but we had to compromise. We decided that Iana would film at her house since it was the best one to suit the theme of the video. However, she couldn’t bring us in to film with her so she had to film the beginning solo.


Now that that’s the end of the recap, we have one more thing to do before filming production should start. We knew we had to find another location. It had to be a public area to show the friends hanging out without the other. It couldn’t be a private area or it wouldn’t exactly make sense on how the friend showed up. Nat suggested we film at the mall since it was the most convenient for all of us. We’re trying to start filming this weekend. But, I don’t know if I can make it. I have to do stuff with my parents for the majority of the weekend and I’m trying to make time for the project. I have no idea if I'll have time to show up. Especially if the group goes at 5:00 PM. I think I’ll be able to figure this out before tomorrow.


That’s the end of the blog! Remember to follow to keep being updated on everything! Have a nice day!

  I met with my group to brainstorm ideas for our short film, and after a long discussion, we finally settled on a mystery thriller. I took on the responsibility of writing the script, making sure the dialogue felt natural and the pacing kept the tension high. After several drafts and feedback sessions, I was satisfied with the final version. I created a storyboard to map out every shot and ensure we had a clear visual plan before filming began. I also put together a shot list to keep production organized and make the most of our limited time. We spent a day scouting locations, looking for settings that matched the eerie tone of our film. Some spots looked perfect but had too much background noise, forcing us to reconsider. Once we locked in our locations, we held auditions and cast the roles, selecting actors who could bring our characters to life. I helped run rehearsals so the actors could familiarize themselves with their lines and movements before the cameras rolled. On the fi...

Short Flim Research: Drago

Drago is a short film that blends fantasy, adventure, and surrealism, focusing on themes like heroism, myth, and emotional growth. In this genre, common camera techniques include wide shots to showcase expansive landscapes or grand creatures, and close-ups to highlight emotional moments in the protagonist’s journey. Tracking shots follow the action, while low-angle shots are used to emphasize the power of dragons or heroic figures. High-angle shots convey vulnerability, often portraying characters as small within a vast world. The sound in fantasy films like Drago typically includes epic orchestral music to amplify grandeur and diegetic sounds like dragon roars or sword clashes. Non-diegetic sound effects add a layer of magic, and silence is strategically used to heighten tension. Background ambience, like nature sounds, helps immerse the viewer in the fantastical setting. In terms of mis-en-scene, costumes are designed to reflect characters’ roles, with elaborate, adventure-ready at...
