location scouting

Image
  This is where we are planning to shoot the first scene, as it is supposed to be in a park under a tree. This is a public park and therefore there would be no issues regarding permission.

BUDGETING AND EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION

 The majority of the tools we'd use would be already-existing technology. Aiman uses a DSLR camera to take pictures. i have have the mic and gimble we would using DIY lights would be used. For cinematic lighting, we would use emergency lights, whilst the colour filter effect might be accomplished by covering the light with the necessary coloured plastic sheet. But for those like us who are students, it would be more affordable and reasonable.

Narrative

  Who Am I? Ali, a patient of split personality disorder, is sitting on a park bench, under a tree, holding a diary in his hands. The page has “You have to kill her” written in sloppy, messy handwriting. He reaches for a picture with shaky hands, and examines it. The picture is of a jolly-looking girl. He appears clearly stressed; his eyes are red, he’s sweating profusely, sighs, and rubs the side and nape of his neck. He tries to stand hesitantly, staggers forward, but then he manages to walk properly at last.   The scene shifts to the girl (from the picture). She is sitting on the bed, talking to someone on call. She seems nervous, and confused. “He’s so confusing, and I just can’t understand him. It’s like, each time I meet him, he’s a completely different person. One moment, he would act a certain way, and then next thing I know, he’s a completely different person.” While she’s saying that, the lights suddenly go out. She goes to check it while muttering complaints.  ...

PRACTICING PRE PRODUCTION AND SHOOTING

Image
 As part of our class exercise, I rehearsed shooting a chase scenario with a select group of my classmates in order to develop my shooting skills; We wrote down our plan on a sheet, then we took the appropriate pictures.

Genre

 We chose an interesting type that suits our story and makes mystery and fulfills what we need to make. The class can be viewed as thriller, or all the more explicitly, thrill ride. A progression of camera shows, mise en scene, sound, and altering can help us laying out and conveying the class.

Learning Outcome

 This video action assisted us with figuring out the camera developments, points, and shot estimates more top to bottom, as it was the main reasonable execution of the practices that we had just verbally talked about and seen instances of. This permitted us to get more to know treatment of the camera, altering, different capabilities. We can utilize this experience to additionally work on our future practices.

Film Theorist : destruction of flim

  Film theory is a way of analyzing films to understand them and their place in society better. Film theorists break down films by looking at their elements and the way they impact one another. Film theory can also be applied to other video presentations, such as television programs.

LOCATION RISK ANALYSIS

  LOCATION RISK ANALYSIS The locations where we are planning to shoot are mainly safe, as one of them is a public park near our school, and the other one is supposed to be a house/bedroom. We will still be careful.

costume preparation

  COSTUME PREPARATION We decided to go with realistic everyday outfits, such as a black outfit for Ali during the murder scene. We are planning to have a vibrant colored outfit for the female character.

Power Of Cut, FPS, and Exposure    CUT: Cut can be used for conveying messages. Russian theorist Kuleshov spoke of it, hence it is also known as the Kuleshov theory, or the Russian Montage Theory. Power of cut can show emotions. Power of cut can show contrast (juxtaposing). It should just not go against diegesis (internal film logic) ELLIPSES IN EDITING: Ellipses shorten up the time of the narrative. This can be done via various techniques. Jump Cut Clock turning fast  Fade out/fade in/dip to black Time lapse (such as sunset/sunrise or seasons changing) Change in face/height/physical appearance Text appearing on screen/ voiceover FPS: Frames per second. Cinema standard is 24 FPS. PAL (Perfection at last): 25 FPS Europe: 30 FPS EXPOSURE: exposure is the amount of light per unit area reaching a frame.  An image can be underexposed, overexposed, or at optimal exposure. They can all be combined to get High Dynamic Range (HDR). LOWKEY LIGHTING: exposure is manually c...

FILM representations

 FILM representations  Various techniques can be utilized by producers to present and foster characters. They address a person through their decision of camera points, acting, mise-en-scene, altering, lighting, and sound. Most of motion pictures depict a specific quality or story utilizing specific shows convictions. Both negative and positive portrayals are conceivable. Portrayals are urgent and should be utilized with intense consideration. For example, in certain movies, ethnic minorities are depicted in cliché ways that have experienced harsh criticism. The equivalent is valid for the depiction of ladies, who are quite often given a role as supporting characters as opposed to as the fundamental heroes. Be that as it may, over the course of time, these portrayals have improved, and presently we can see expanding portrayal of ladies and ethnic minorities

HOW DO WE EDIT?

  HOW DO WE EDIT? We were asked by our teacher to work on Adobe Premier  for editing work. This is me working on Adobe to edit a class activity shoot.

WEATHER FORECAST &RISK EVALUATION

 Weather forecast and risk assessment Due to fog, it would be ideal for us to shoot during the day as the shooting is scheduled to take place after winter break, primarily in January. In addition, we would take the weather into account to prevent any problems on the day of the shoot. Additionally, there is very little risk in our story because there is only one murder scene that would be displayed through jump cuts and no actors would be harmed.

props

  Prop Collection And List The props we are using are supposed to be everyday items, to illustrate a sense of verisimilitude.  For example, the first scene in the park, the character has a diary, a pen, and a picture of the girl.  The second scene of the girl in the bedroom has furniture, which should already be there and doesn't need to be collected. The girl is on call so she has a phone; another prop.  There is, however, a very essential and critical prop in the scene afterwards. The man carries a knife. Since we need to ensure and prioritize safety, we will not be using a real knife.  Moreover, another prop we have to get is fake blood. Using ketchup would make it rather unrealistic, so we might buy fake blood and use that instead.

Understanding My Role

 Since I am the cinematographer and cameraman, I have to use the script in a way that brings the vision to life, in a visually appealing, aesthetically pleasing way. I basically have to do all the visual storytelling. I need to plan the technical execution of camera shots.  As a cameraman, I need to physically control the camera and capture the footage in the best way possible. I have to get the most creative shots possible. I also have to know what settings would be best for a certain shot.
