Beginning to Film

 We were finally able to film. We got most of the shots we needed. The shots we got look great. Overall we had a very successful day of filming. I started by taking the drone out of the case. When it was in the air I started recording the establishing shot. While I did this griffin filmed the over the shoulder shot. I then drove the bad guy's car into the frame as other bad guys got out of the car. We then had our friend film all of us running down the hallway. 1/2 of the team went up the stairs to get to the running scene. The other half went into the elevator. We filmed the scene of the bad guys busting into the door. When the president was found we had our other friend film so we could all be in the shot. As we took the president away we had a bad guy die. We did this because we realized that there wouldn't be enough of us to play the president's protection. Once we took care of this we filmed the shot of the president in the back of the car as I drove. Overall we did a great job. We only have a couple of shots we need. I will be able to do them alone with Ryan. Once we get these shots we will be able to start editing.

Sound Design

Image
 As a young filmmaker, I was always intrigued by the creative process of putting together a short film. I had experimented in several parts of filmmaking, but one area where I lacked experience was sound design. I had always imagined that sound in a film was simply added in post-production, but I quickly understood that it was much more than that. I immediately realized that sound is an essential component of the filmmaking process and may have a significant influence on the overall quality of the picture. With this revelation, I decided to take on the task of selecting sounds for my current short film production. The initial stage was to investigate and collect various sorts of sound effects that would be suitable for the film. I spent hours going through internet sound banks, looking for the right noises to complement the tone and mood of the picture. Once I got a selection of sounds that I believed would work nicely, I was ready to explore. I immediately realized that the placem...

Critical Reflection

Due to his financial disadvantage, he must eat a non nutritious breakfast and work harder than others. Most people have full racing crews that take care of their cars for them, these cars may belong to a single driver or could be split between a team of drivers. The main character must take care of his car by himself. This is a reminder of the unequal distribution of resources and opportunities in society, where some people are fortunate enough to have access to riches and resources, while others find it difficult to get by. The main characters' dreams represent the luxuries someone of a higher socioeconomic status would have. You can see cars that are worth four to five times the amount of money as well as the ability they get to drive during the night. This is usually only allowed to be perfo...
