Media Studies (Film Opening) Week 11 - Shot details / Sound

1/Apr 

Today, we couldn't meet each other. But we did not have enough time to finish and confirm everything, so we met in chat and did some discussions together. Firstly, I have shared a drive that contains the confirmed shots. Unless we shot the scenes on my phone, I needed to choose to confirm each shot and share it. And I named all the films according to their scene numbers. I have reminded Ruguosier for shot 9 to crop out some edges to make a medium-closeup shot.

We started to think about our background sound effects and music. Because Ruguosier found out, we cannot use more than three files from the website that we were planning to use and need to be paid. So maybe we need to find another free music website. Also, we needed to rethink the background sound because some of the shots included a lot of extra noise and unwanted sound.

John and I were discussing Shot 7 as well. Because of shot 7, we were planning to use the cross-cut shot (separate the scene into two pieces) at first. But we couldn't film the good video for shot 7. The tracking of Grace's part was fine, but we felt we could not show Olivia hanging with her friends. So I think if we finish rechecking, we need to film again only for shot 7, Olivia's part. However, I felt that using cross-cut shots looked more like a music video, so I brought my opinions to others. They accept my opinion, and we decide to recheck when we meet at school.

Media Studies (Film Opening) Week 9 - Shot list

23/Mar We have finished making the shot list today. We confirmed most of the parts last time. But there were so many things that we missed, so me and John added some details. I was mostly writing the rough notes on the shot list document, and John made the texts into the clear form of the sentence. I wrote almost all of the audio part. Because we have not thought about the audio parts before. And John confirmed and edited the description part. And we both clarified and looked through all the notes that we wrote. Ruguosier was not able to come and work at the same time as me and John. So he confirmed and rechecked our work after my and John's editing. This is our shot list:

Media Studies (Film Opening) Week 6 - Storyline / Storyboard / Intention

27/Feb Today, we discussed how we will fit scenes between storyboard scenes 1 and 2. We had some ideas, which are: orange mart scene (a mart whose name is orange; let us just use the word orange for orange mart scenes): protagonist hanging out with her best friend after school setting (This can lead to the next scene 2 after this—going back home scene—street scene), as a brief idea. The protagonist and her best friend are in the classroom (year 12, which is our classroom), chilling together and watching Netflix or studying. cozy mood on the pillow of the scene. Some more scenes of the protagonist in the corridor just above the sports court, beside the computer lab Important point of today: we can take as many 'memory scenes' as possible, omit some, and add when we need them. We will need to edit later in the post-production stage if we have extra scenes. 01/Mar   Today, we finalized our storyboard. We got 16 scenes for total. But we need to discuss about the exact angle and cam...
