Challenges in Filming

     The challenges that we are going to have is time because in 2 weeks from now I (Nathaniel) will be heading to Honduras and will not be available to film with my group, therefore in these two weeks we would have to over perform our filming time in order to edit and fix while I'm away in a different country. Another challenge is that if one of us ever gets sick we can't film anything because all of us needs to be present in order to film, this also means that neither of us can miss days because we need all the time we need to complete filming. Other than these challenges everyone on the team is pulling their weight, with everyone asking questions on how this moment or that moment should be filmed, and helping out each other with specific movements that should occur and specific things that should be said in order to carry the story further into the opening scene.

The lighting and sound are going well with everything sounding smooth as the lighting not being too harsh or too low for viewers to look at. The Sound was the most difficult part to get down because of the ambient noise being too loud, but it is an easy objective to fix because the music will block out the "empty school" noise of machinery.

This included a close up shot of the strings, this gives a feeling of musicality and wonder as the main person we focus on is playing the instrument. The next angles that I like is a upwards tilt towards the characters face, because it show us how this person dresses as he plays the piano, and it shows how professional he is with his hobby. The next shot that I liked is the pan from our character to the mysterious and dangerous threat that is looming In the back of the car. This scene would then transition into a drone-shot of the car as it slowly pulls back the shot, this is done so that the audience could have another feeling of mystery because we are left on a cliff ha...

  Dare to Thrill      The video had lost of handheld camera movements, and lots of close up images to allow the audience to notice the characters actions such as turning on the car and raising/lowering the volume of the music. There is an establishing shot of the parking garage to allow the audience to have an idea where these teens are located and why they are there.  Lots of mid level shots are used to give the audience the illusion of being the same height as the teens and the illusion of being one of the members of the friend group. The dark atmosphere allows a sudden mood change to appear because in the beginning the emotion that the audience can feel is happiness and cheerfulness, but once the characters hear the noise in the trunk the dark lighting allows the fearful and mysterious atmosphere to smoothly and strongly cover up the previous emotion that was being used. Always Watching      In this video, the main editing used are jump cuts, t...
