Production blog: recording the voiceovers

Today March 8, 2021, my partner and I met up with the actress playing Irene to record the voice overs needed for our opening sequence. Initially we had decided to record scenes 1, 2, 12, 13, 14, and 15 with the actor playing johnny but the meeting was rescheduled to March 12, 2021, to March 13, 2021. With our sudden change of plans, we had time to do other recordings needed with our actress Abi Fernandez. We had planned to record scene five and the voiceovers, but this did not workout very well. Due to the sudden change of plans, Abi had no time to cancel her other plans and we had to cut our meeting short to just record the voiceovers to provide our actress with a more flexible schedule. Abi was also feeling a little tired and decided she preferred that we just recorded the voiceovers and met up to record the scenes March 10 to March 15, 2021.

Before attending our meeting to film, my partner and I went shopping to buy masks and handsanitser. As our plan for health and safety had said, we prepared and made sure that we provided Abi and ourselves with protection. We practiced social distancing as well to prevent any of us risking ourselves to COVID-19. 

We met with our actress, Abi, around 3:30 P.M. and prepared to start recording. To begin, we explained to Abi what we would be recording. I showed Abi her script and allowed her to look over it and study it. After she studied her script, my partner and I got ready to record her voiceovers. We explained to her how we wanted her to vocalize the phrases on her script. Once she was done practicing and knew how we wanted her to say her lines on the script we began recording. First we recorded the script for scene three, and then we recorded the script for scenes five, six, seven, and nine. The recording of Abi's voiceovers took about an hour. We recorded several times for each scene until we were satisfied with the result. 

As of now the script, locations, nor the storyboard have changed. The only thing that has been modified is the schedule for filming. 

Filming was fun and interesting, it was funny at first since Abi messed up her lines a couple of times but we were able to finish sucessfully. Next meeting we plan to meet up at the set location Pompano Community Park to film scenes three, six, seven, ten, and eleven. Lastly we will film scene five at my house and wrap up filming with our actress.

Final task: Filming and editing process

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...
