Filming Blog: Second Recording session

 The second recording session for my opening sequence for final task assignment was originally supposed to be recorded Feb 17, 2024. After my I was done with work was when this recording should've been done. The video recording session ended up getting pushed back for a few reasons. My mom was originally going to help me on Feb 17, 2024, but she was tired that night from work and I also was pretty tired as well. Since my mom and I were both tired we decided it would be best to work on the recordings the next day. 

It turns out that the next day would be full of rain from sun up till sunset. After the rain, I realized it wouldn't good to be recording in the backyard after the rain. This was because after the rain stopped the whole backyard was soaked so I wouldn't be able to record all the scenes there that day. So my mom and I rescheduled the date for recording again to the Monday after the Sunday we originally planned to record on. So on Monday, I started to plan in my head on how I was going to direct the recording of my opening sequence. 

I was planning to record on character at a time for my opening sequence. First I would record Jack the main character then the antagonist: The hooded figure(man with a shovel). My clothing for Jack was: Jeans, orange shirt, and blue shoes. The clothing I chose for the hooded figure was a black raincoat with black shoes and green pants. The props I gave Jack was a flashlight and the hooded figure got a shovel.

When we recorded we did run into a few problems with clothing and my acting. An example of this was that my raincoat wouldn't cover up my face so I asked my mom for help and she helped me adjust it. Also I had a few problems with my acting, like when I was falling, I kept on swearing when I fell. I also couldn't find the best way to act when being the hooded figure in my recordings either, because I had problems with finding the right way to hold the shovel I had in my had. In the end with a few adjustments we finished recording and it looked decent.

Filming Blog: first Recording session

 I decided to start recording some scenes after I got off from work, which was at night. I chose night time to record because I thought it fit better with the genre of my film. After work once I got home, I started to prepare to record by getting my costume and props ready. I dressed In an orange shirt and blue jeans for the main character I would be portraying for the first few scenes. The prop that I used was a flashlight because of most of the scenes happening at night.  On the night of Saturday, feb 10 I got my mom to help me set up for filming. I got my clothes and my prop ready to record, but some problems arose when filming. Me and my mom had a little bit of communication issues. For example, when she was filming me,  and I asked her to film an over the shoulder shot and when we filmed it it didn't look right the first time. So after this, we re-recorded that scene a few more times because in the first take my mom recorded too much of my shoulder. The next few time...

If I cannot record on certain days then I'll try to record before hand, but if necessary I'll reco...

Title Research: Watch the Titles Website

 I am researching this website because it has many different choices for opening sequences to research for good titles. This website is also good to research video games and tv shows. This website also shows different creators of films on the website. It has a tab for studios that create these films as well that lists them from A-z in alphabetical order. There is also a search tab on the top of the website to help users find what they're searching for.  This website also shows student projects, for example the dark knight rises, Sirens of titan and Motherless Brooklyn. This website also shows feature film titles like Rudolph the red nosed reindeer. some exaples of video games on this website include:Gods of war and killzone. Overall this website has a lot of options for me to go through when looking for title examples. There should be plenty of examples to choose from for this title research and base my opening sequence off of.
