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.

Post-Production Blog Post 5/9

Over the past couple weeks, I've been working to put together the Mini-THON Documentary for 2021. The following describes the status of the documentary as well as updates regarding some things that I have previously written about during the Pre-Production and Production stages of documentary. Transition Success In my previous Production blog post, I talked about my idea as to how to transition from the different parts of the documentary. Now that I've been able film the shots for these transitions and incorporate them into my editing timeline, I can say that my idea is largely a success. It was difficult to properly set-up the corkboard in a way that gave me my desired framing, but I'm happy with what I was able to make. Within the edit, the transition clips are given a digital tracking zoom along the string in order to show the transition from each labeled section. I chose to use a digital tracking zoom rather than doing it physically due to limited help to film the transi...
