Production Blog: preparing props and sound ideas

Today, my partner and I focused on preparing our props for filming next week and recorded more sounds. After a long day at school, Margarita and I went out to shop for some props needed in our opening sequence. We decided to go to party city to buy some fake blood. We need this for a scene in our opening sequence. This scene is planned to be recorded next week so we decided to prepare our props ahead of time. Once we finished preparing the props, we went our separate ways home. I had originally planned to record more scenes today with the actress playing Irene, but she had to reschedule to March 14, 2021. On that day I plan on recording two of the voiceovers again since I realized there is background voices. I also plan on filming scene five. I would also like to film the scenes at the Pompano Community Park if there is time on March 14. 

My partner was in charge of recording a sound needed for one of Johnny's scenes. In the scene, Johnny is asleep and he is wearing headphones in the scene while listening to music. We wanted to record separately, the sound of muffled music coming from the headphones but my partner faced a problem. My partner contacted me and talked to me about her process of recording the sound. She said she played back the recordings but kept hearing an annoying sound of strong air in the background. Without thinking twice, I told her I would try recording the sound myself and I would get back to her. After trying over 10 times, I told her I was facing the same problem as her. We began to discuss what we could do to fix this issue and came up with two solutions. We will either edit the music on After Effects to create the muffled-like sound or try something else. I realized that in the voiceovers, which we recorded for Irene's script, sounded normal and did not have that strong air background noise. So I plan to record it again in the same room and see if it finally works that way.

Final task: Filming and editing process

Image
As of recently, my partner and I have to decided to start our filming process on March 8, 2021. Unfortunately we could not begin filming before due to serveral reasons. Our actress playing Irene, is out of town and will be arriving March 6, 2021, which is the major reason of why we decided to begin on March 8. The actor playing Johnny also could not film earlier because he had plans involving school homework, studying for several tests and work. My partner and I looked out for our actors and decided to begin filming on a day everybody would be available.  We finished all of our planning and research and now we will prepare for filming. As of now, we have not changed or added new locations for our opening sequence. We have set all of our plans for our settings and when we will go to our assigned locations. We have also not added anything new to our scripts or storyboard, however, if changes are made they will be included in the blogs. We carefully chose the actors for our opening se...

Genre Research: The Giver

What elements of the genre that you chose to base your final task on does this movie have? Another movie we will use to base our final task on is The Giver.  The Giver is a science fiction movie which is based on a novel. The setting of  The Giver was in an isolated piece of land broken off and disconnected from the rest of the world. This set up the plot of the story of the film.  In the movie they use a lot of different filming techniques to express the different emotions throughout the film.  Since the movie is about "The receiver of memories" they use zooms, close-ups, establishing shots, track, mid-shots, low and high angles and many more to show the emotions of the characters in the story. Since in the story the giver is giving the receiver all of his memories and teaching him the emotions one by one these different CAMS portray the different emotions.  The giver shows a lot of technology with the use of holograms, fake trees, the houses ar...
