Pre-Production Blog Post 10/7

After working over the past few weeks to complete the pre-production stage of my project, the following is what I have accomplished.

Releases

The following are the releases that I have collected for this project. Three of these releases are talent releases for the the three actors who will appear in the documentary. These actors are all people who I personally know and are reliable enough to depend on for this project. The other release is a location release. The selected location for this film was my house. With my script being relatively simple and not requiring a large amount of locations, my property should be flexible enough to make the film come to life. Below is a link to pictures of my releases as it is difficult to insert pictures into Blogger without encountering formatting errors.

Storyboard

The storyboard that I have drawn for the documentary gives a basic view of what I would like the final product to look like. There were a few sections on the storyboard that I left vague. The reasoning behind this is because currently I know what I would like to insert in these sections however, I do not know what they should look like and likely won't know until I go and film.
Below is again a link to pictures of my storyboard.

Script

My script for the documentary can be seen below. I do not consider myself a writer, but I feel that this script best represents what I would like to accomplish. I worked to create moments of comedy while also teaching about the focused topic. While I will largely stick to what I have written, I feel that it is likely that I will change and adapt portions of the script to better fit with what I am able to produce. If it is difficult to view the script on Blogger, below is a link to pictures of each page of the script.

Investigation 3/1: The Tools Of Camera Stability

One of the most important aspects of cinematography that goes commonly unnoticed is having the camera steady. Even a slight amount of movement within a shot can pull the audience away from the film, so it is important to attempt to have shots. There are multiple different ways that you can use to stabilize your camera, some of which are more effective than others. Tripod Using a tripod is the easiest way to stabilize the camera while filming. By having three points of contact with the ground, a tripod keeps the camera extremely stable. The camera would likely only move due to very large movements on the ground or strong winds. The one downside to using a tripod is that it has to remain stationary. If the required shot involves moving around, a tripod can likely not be used. Overall, the tripod is the easiest, simplest, and cheapest way to keep your camera steady.

Investigation 5/10: My Brief Introduction To After Effects

Learning to use After Effects is something that I always planned on eventually doing. I still do intend on learning everything I would need to know about After Effects, but I have already experienced a brief introduction to using after effects. Background The reason that I started using After Effects was to create a meme. The meme that I wished to create my own interpretation of the video "Patrick on a seahorse listening to fly me to the moon". The original video is a modified version of the ending credit sequence of the anime  Neon Genesis Evangelion  in which the character Patrick Star of the children's television show Spongebob Squarepants  rides atop of a seahorse while the song Fly Me To The Moon  (originally sung by Frank Sinatra) plays in the background. After coming across this meme, I felt that I wanted to create my own version of it using a video that had previously been recorded. The problem that I encountered however, was that the video was not record...
