Storyboard Blog for Music Video Project

Scene 1: This scene begins with extreme close-ups on the actor's eyes and facial expressions and shifts between the two. There will not be much background definition, and it will last for three to five seconds.

Scene 2: This scene will consist primarily of a wide shot of the actor walking down a railroad, and will pan to follow the actor as they curve further along the track. It will last for several seconds longer than the last.

Scene 3: This scene will begin with a low angle shot and will move further up the actor's profile until the focus is on the sun. This scene will be roughly as long as the one preceding it, and will be filmed fairly far away.

Scene 4: This scene will be a still shot of the actor sitting on a curb and will be flashed very quickly (~2-3 seconds) to serve as a placeholder between two more dynamic scenes.

Scene 5: This scene will return to the shot of the sun before the still was shown, and the sun will subtly fade into a shot of a lit streetlamp, with the camera not wavering from the lamp. Overall this scene will last somewhere in the 5-10 second range.

Scene 6: This scene will begin by panning down from the streetlight to the actor walking down the road with his head down. This will be shot from behind and will likely be a wide or medium long shot.

Scene 7: This scene will be a tracking shot of the actor walking from a different angle, and will be an eye level shot as he sits on a curb. The eye level shot may possibly be tracked with the movement of the actor's eyes themselves, but this is still only a possibility.

Scene 8: This scene will show the actor in a different location, somewhere in a grassier area. The actor will begin turning and reaching out, and the camera will track with the turn itself, at a medium-long distance.

Scene 9: This scene will feature crosscutting between the actor sitting on a sidewalk, and the actor sitting on the ground in the location of the previous scene, meant to blur the lines and transition between the two occurrences. This will be shot as a medium shot.

Scene 10: This scene will take place at the sidewalk of the crosscut in the previous scene, and will feature the actor getting up from their seated position and will track as they walk away from the sidewalk.

Scene 11: This will be a medium shot from behind and will feature the actor walking to the top of a bridge, only to turn and face the camera at its crest.

Scene 12: Finally, this scene will feature the camera pivoting around the completely still actor and may be crosscut with similar shots in the other filming location to again symbolize the similarities between them.

Filming 1 for Commercial Project

Image
  Today my group did the first part of our filming for the commercial project. The filming was done outside, on our school's track. I was the primary actor in our project, since there are only two of us. When we began filming, we first had to work out the minutiae of how we wanted to handle everything procedurally- if we were to take shots in order or do all of the running shots first, then the drinking shots, then the Gatorade. We also worked out where our cameraman would be standing for each shot and how he would be panning or zooming. After these details were settled, we began filming. We'd decided on doing the running first, so we did a few different takes for each section. There are 3 main shots of running in the first half, so we took these shots first. I started from a similar point of the track each time and jogged to an orange mark further down the track each time, which served as our "finish line." We had to do several retakes of this, and eventually modifie...

Filming Blog for Final Project: Base Shots

Image
  Due to time constraints posed by group members, we couldn't film many shots, so we filmed the few shots that took place in the area meant to be the Base in the actual film. To achieve the effect that my group was picturing, we used a nearby crafts store to acquire materials that we would use to create elements of the set that would perpetuate the futuristic aesthetic my group was aiming to create. I personally participated in the sketching and tracing of these materials while my groupmates helped arrange them. Since I finished my task before theirs, I helped look for some resources online which could create the radar effect that figured heavily into some of our scenes. I found several resources but there was one which was the obvious superior, so I went with that option as the one that my group would use. Once we were done with the creation and arranging of the background elements, we went to filming the actual scene. This was a scene which did not involv...

Title Research: Code 8 (2019)

Image
  How many titles are displayed during the opening sequences to the film? Which ones? There are a total of 29 titles displayed during the opening sequences of Code 8, including individual acting credits and individual personal titles. The first title displayed is the name of the studio, followed by associated studios, the production company’s credit, various acting credits, the credits of the casting directors, and the visual effects supervisor. After this comes the credit for the creator of the music, the costume designer, the editor, the production designer, the director of photography, the co-producer and associate producers, various executive producers, the lead producer, the creators of the story and screenplay, the director, and finally, the movie title. What connotations do the images carry? The images shown are meant to show the descent from hopefulness regarding the future to a militaristic dystopia as a result of the earlier hope. The early images are filled with idealist...
