Editing Day One

3/7/2019 The first day of editing went incredibly smoothly which was contrary to what my group and I believed because the program we used was completely foreign to us. The program we used was Adobe PremierPro which we had access to in the class. Since we had never used the program before, we didn’t think […]

Production Meeting #2

3/5/2019 Today, my team had gathered in order to solidify our film production and make any final adjustments to said film. We guaranteed that it was properly edited, and we focussed on selecting the correct font for our opening credits. We also decided where the credits are going to be placed on the screen, and […]

Production Meeting #1

3/1/2019 Today, my group and I had banded together to discuss the outcome of our film. We had yet to add music to film. However, we are rather reluctant to do so because our film is built around the tension created by total silence. Through discussion, we plan on using certain ambient noises such as […]

Editing Techniques

In my class, we have been exposed to a variety of editing techniques that alter the way our film progresses. We had been given an assignment in order to create a short film, using several of the editing techniques that had been shown to us. My group and I had decided to film a […]

Character Bios

3/4/2019 Dominick: Being the protagonist of the film, Dominick had to fulfil the role of the submissive victim that is completely unaware of what is going on behind him. His lighter features allow for him to appear like the harmless character that he is. He appears to be beyond frightened as he is harassed by […]

Music Research

3/1/2019 While our film had a general lack of sound the use of music was still crucial and beneficial to the overall tone of the film. We initially had intended to not use any music at all and instead focus on an ambient symphony of sounds. However, upon searching through YouTube’s wide variety […]

Sound Research

2/28/2019 To begin editing, we first had to choose several sounds that would create the specific effect that we intended to portray in our film. We decided to go for a more ambient sound, as it could display the feeling of solitude and being completely isolated. Fortunately enough, we were able to locate and use […]

Shooting Day

2/23/2019 After much anticipation, the day finally came in order to shoot our final film. My group and I rejoiced at my house in proper wardrobe and began filming. Throughout the course of our filming, we encountered several issues that presented themselves out of nowhere. For one, my neighbours were blasting Latin music, which would […]

Test Footage

2/20/2019 While we did rehearse thoroughly several days prior, my group and I have decided to meet up once more. This time, however, we chose to rehearse with the cameras rolling. We did this in order to properly prepare ourselves for the actual shooting day. While some filming was done on rehearsal day, our set […]

Rehearsal Day

2/15/2019 In order to properly execute the course of our film, we decided to select a day to rehearse. My group had passed by my house in casual clothing in order to practice and familiarize ourselves with the film and its aspects. The main actor, Dominick, was quick to pick up on the timing and […]
