Filming Blog: Unable to Film, Dissecting/Reviewing Film

Due to circumstances, my group and I were unable to film more but there are some good information to report. All filming has been completed, despite wanting to do some more check-ups. So instead, I’ll discuss what my group and I were going to possibly film. So for one, I did a bit more reviewing on the film, just to make everything perfect. I was debating on which beginning scenes I liked most. The establishing shot was taken four times in total after reviewing the scenes. The establishing shot was held at a higher elevation. I didn’t want to use the tripod for this scene because of one main reason. I did not want to be unable to view the video as it was recording. I wanted to be fully able to see what was in the frame. You can notice in many of the scenes that lighting does change. This result was inevitable. A lot of the filming was done in different parts of the day, at different times of the day as well. I tried very hard to stay consistent with the lighting but it was difficult. However, I feel like I managed to keep it minimal and not too noticeable. For this specific scene, it was filmed during the late afternoon, around sunset. It captured a nice, ominous feeling and vibe for the opening sequence. Even more so, the night time filming was difficult because of the lack of light. Thankfully however, we use a phone light to cast a nice contrast. Overall, it really made the film come to light as a horror film.
