MP3 Film Post-Production

Finally, after weeks of delays and busy schedules, I have completed the Post-Production stage of my film for the third marking period. Here are my thoughts on how things went.

Starting Over

While I did get some filming done during the appropriate stage of the production cycle back during the third marking period, by the time I got back around to finishing the film, I didn't like the footage that I had. Luckily, this footage was just the introduction and would easily be replaced due to the new direction that I planned on taking the film during my time working on it. The original story that I had set out for the film was set aside as it involved multiple actors which I knew I wouldn't be able to swing in such a short amount of time. Luckily, I was able to keep the concept on the film intact and managed to produce a shortened, adjusted version of the idea that I had.

Final Thoughts

Overall, I like what I was able to throw together. I think that the concept is portrayed well which was my main intention when making the film. I managed to produce this new cut of the film in just a few hours which was enjoyable in regards to seeing everything easily come together. While I would have loved to be able to have finished the film as I originally intended during the original production cycle timeline, I'm still proud of what I made. Since I do still have everything planned out for my original idea, I might end up coming back to the concept one day and finishing what I originally set out to do.

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.

End of MP 1 Blog Post

After now reaching the end of the first marking period of the 2019-2020 school year, I am able to reflect back upon the work that I have completed so far. Intention Definition & Exploration Of Ideas Having no prior experience in any particular area of film, I set out to choose a topic to focus on that would allow me to help narrow down my focus. The area I chose to focus on was documentary and mockumentary styled film making. I made this choice with the intention to be able to explore both formal and less formal ideas while also not relying on having to create an entire original idea by myself. The topic of my film (The Game) was chosen because of my familiarity and pre-existing personal opinions about it. Planning Planning an entire production entirely by myself was a change of pace in comparison to how I worked in previous years. I began the planning process by typing out all of my thoughts in order to help establish what I am trying to do. Once I developed an idea for th...

Investigation 10/25 Make-up: Podcasts

Over the past few years, podcasts have grown to become one of the most popular forms on media on the internet. With the simplistic idea of people just talking, podcasts are easy to be enjoyed by anyone. While podcasts typically rely on just audio, some podcasts incorporate video to aid with it's presentation. As someone who is interested in film and video I decided to look more into video podcasts and what goes into making them. Popular Video Podcasts Out of all the video podcasts that I have seen, the most popular would have to be The Joe Rogan Experience . The Joe Rogan Experience  hosted by Joe Rogan is the perfect example of a standard video podcast. Each episode involves Rogan simply talking with his guest about whatever they feel like for a couple of hours uncut. The video element of The Joe Rogan Experience  does not add nor subtract from the podcast overall as it only shows the raw footage of Rogan and his guest speaking. The appeal of The Joe Rogan Experience ...
