8/26, great teamwork

 Today 8/26 marks the finalization of the creative process for making our film. We've designed our film's storyboard with proper use of red and blue pen, over the shoulder shots, POV shots, and insert shots, as well as chase scenes. Our team is comprised of 6 people and we've all contributed to the film properly. I'll be marketer and editing, Ricardo and Michael, as well as Preston and Christopher will be our actors. Peter will be our camera man. We feel pretty confident as we all work pretty well together, and enjoy the class for both the work and being friends. While Chris and Preston are scouting, we're just discussing bonus content.

 Today we finished our storyboard and script of our short film futureless. The plot begins with a character who is stuck in a time loop and constantly revealing a future to him always facing some sort of negative event where he dies or blacks out. The name came from the plot of a story where his future is constantly unraveled into a death or negative shortcoming of some sort. We organized our spots to film, our shot forms which are mostly wide and medium shots. As well as our cast being Christopher and Michael as our split two identities of the main character, and Ricardo and Preston being Our split villains.

8/18, learning shots, and storing shots

 Today (8/18), we've learned how shoot various different camera angles, and how we store them in our google drives.

Beginning with shots, we started with the basic establishing shot, master shot, and wide shot. These three establish the setting, confirm the setting, and highlight the environment around the character. Then we have the full shot, the cowboy shot, and the medium shot. These three are meant to present the character, highlight waist level details like a holster, and highlight the characters upper body. The final three we learned were the Medium close up, the close up, and the insert shot. These three all center the camera around the characters upper body, their facial area, and little details, all meant to add emotion and detail.

As for storing shots however, i was already versed in this. I'd take photos from my phone, upload them into google drive via the app. After uploading them, I'd download them into zip files and move them into my AICE Media studies folder, allowing me remote access along with group access to any projects.

All in all, today was a good refresher on the basic principles i had learnt in film 1
