Our first day of filming was rather tame, as we had mostly wanted to try out different things for our film. We used this day as a “rehearsal” day to figure out what we really wanted out of this scene. Anyways, below are some of the shots we tested out to see if we could use for our movie.
Overall, the day went rather nicely with a few cast members to note, such as Jonathan Green, Davin Williams, Randy Smith Jr., Jon Le, and yours truly. We tested out different shots specifically for the second half of the opening scene, where we had the blue vs. red team action going on.
For visual quality, the wide shots we took were a bit low quality, so we believe we need to include a variety of mid shots and close ups of some of the action sequences. For our sound quality, it was disastrous with the wind constantly hitting our phones, which made for unintentional sounds to play on our videos. We will have to tweak these scenes to muffle out these unwanted noises or add additional sfx to drown them out. Of course, it is a case by case situation, such as when we want to mute out all the sound during a few intense moments, or when we use microphones to make all the sound come from the actors’ voices.
Filming our movie will prove difficult, especially because of the setting we have chosen to use. We must do what we can to make every sound and visual feel powerful, not feel as if you were simply watching a video recorded from your iPhone. Thank you viewers for reading through this blog, I will see you in the next blog!
