PRODUCTION - Film Day 2; Scene 1

 Scene 1 (Bedroom)

    In my last blog post, I took the establishing shot of my house for the first part of my film opening. In this blog post, I will be continuing the production of my film opening. I will be filming the part of the first scene where Emma is waking up.

Clip 1


    For this clip, I decided to do a pull out from my room's window into a pan around my room. This allowed me to show how she is a bit. I decided to make the room a little messy for this scene. That was honestly the hardest part of this scene, because I like having my room tidier than it was. However, I wanted to do that to symbolize the chaos that is about to ensue in her life. 

Clip 2


    For the second clip, I had her fall asleep with one stuffed animal and her bible to imply that she fell asleep reading it. I tried to show her reluctance to wake up as best as possible. In this clip, she gets up and leaves the bed. I am using my phone to film so I just used my phone case and angled the camera to make it seem like Emma was actually using a phone.


Clip 3


    For the final clip, I just showed her turning off the alarm and exiting her room. This clip has some of her only lines in this entire opening. I tried to portray her annoyance in how I presented my lines while also keeping the element of tiredness. I am not a superb actor, so I cannot truly judge how I did with that.

Reflection

    While I was actually supposed to wake up at 5:00 to make the scene accurate, I slept past my alarm; so, that did not end up being the case. However, I was able to edit the clips to make the environment look darker and more similar to how it is at 5:30. 

    I also forgot to film sideways for my first 2 clips, so I had to change the frame to a 5:4 to make sure everything necessary was in frame while preventing the clip from looking more like a TikTok video. I will be using this framing for the rest of my clips for consistency reasons. In my next blog post, I will simply be filming the hallway portion of the first scene.

    Until then, farewell!
