Research: How to make a short film

What is your takeaway from the video? 

This was a great video to watch right before my group and I start really planning our short film. Out of the many key points that I’ll remember, I think my main takeaway was about planning. In the video, the speaker starts off explaining why planning is so crucial. Planning ahead of filming is good because it sets a firm foundation for your short film. The speaker says that to write a good short film, you have to write what you can “pull-off”. This means that you have to plan and write in according to your budget and resources that are at your disposal. This will alleviate the stress that will come from not being able to carry out the short film properly or as planned. 

 
 What good information did you gather while watching it? 
 

We received so many good information as well as tips for making our short film. Aside from my takeaway, other good information that we gathered from the video is that we need to establish a tone for our short film. The speaker stresses the importance of the short film’s tone. Every camera angle, location, lens choice, lighting choice, and wardrobe should compliment the tone of the short film. If it doesn’t, then we will face the risk of ruining our film. We also learned that a good way to keep moral up is by keeping snacks or eating before filming. We all love icecream so hopefully we’ll grab a cone before we start filming! 

 

How do you envision this helping you through your short film process? 

The information that we learning from the video can help our short film process in many ways. Applying this information will be vital since we do want our film to be of quality. Boosting our morals will make the short film process quicker. Additionally, planning ahead will most likely help our film look more organized. Thankfully, our short film will only require a small budget. I can’t wait to start filming with these tips!

Guess whos back

Hello I'm Cecelia Torrez, and I'm excited to share my experience through my final project in my media studies class. I'm excited share my project with the readers of my blog, but first I want to give background about my self and what's been going on in my life. First off, my grades have gotten really good and I have been more responsible. I believe that I have become more responsible due to keeping a schedule more often of my plans for the week. The beginning of the year I made it my resolution to become more responsible for the year so that I could be better, and improve myself. So far, I have been following through and I have become more responsible. I'm hoping the by the end of the year I would have made major life improvements. I've gotten back into my art, which I love, and I am trying to hone my craft so that maybe it becomes a side business to my main job in the future. I'm now in symphonic band, its different from marching band. Instead of marching a...

Editing our movie

Image
Hello, my name is Cecelia, and this is my blog where I talk about me and my groups short film and what we have been up to lately. It's been a stressful week and I've finally had the opportunity to start editing the short film. The play was a success Friday night, and I got just enough sleep to wake up early in the morning and start editing before I had to do the play at night. When I started editing, I went through my notebook for all the notes I made and started editing. I went through each clip and decided how I wanted to edit the entire scenes together. I wanted to make it go smoothly together, but that took many times because I couldn't find a good transition between scenes without any awkward pauses. I then had to make sure the audio matched up and that it wouldn't have any bits where there was pure silence. While the scenes were great, there were a few changes I had to make. I had to go through and find any scene where there was a mistake we didn't catch, and ...
