Production Behind - The - Scenes

this is behind the scenes of our production 

Filming Schedule

 this is my filming schedule for my group for our main movie project ( Made By Sagara Awatara )

This is the schedule that my group plans to follow for our shooting.

Reflection: our filming schedule will help us track our time to record and whens the best time for everyone to be available and free to record, we might change our days of recording because there are multiple factors such as rain, someone cancelling last minute and many more

Classwork : Editing Practice

 this blog post contains an editing practice that can help us in our main project. and i worked with a partner (Arnold)

Why is continuity editing important?

Continuity editing includes making sure that items like props or costumes stay consistent from scene to scene. But the more important work lies in editing shots together in a way that leaves viewers thoroughly grounded in both time and space.

Different types of continuity edit 

• Straight cut (cut)

• Eyeline match 

• Shot /reverse shot

• Cutaway / Insert 

*Match cut

Footage

Here is the footage that my teacher shot which utilises a variety of camera angles and movements. The scene is very simple, it involves a student standing up and leaving the classroom. A single shot here might be quite boring for the audience, by editing and combining the shots together we can make the scene feel more dynamic. 

My editing process

in my editing process i had problems with the internet so our teacher allowed us to use our phone, i was working with my partner on the editing, our only problem was the quality of the video but overall it went smoothly and we added a filter to make a misenscene and we also added a intense background music to make the clips much more immersive

Shooting practice (crime drama)

This is the shooting practice film a mini project that is going to help us in the main project to make cinematic scenes

 Lesson Description: For todays lesson, my teacher told us to find a scene from a real movie that fits with our genre for Comp 1. Our task was to recreate a scene from the movie "Fight Club" as it fits with our planned movie genre, we recreated this as a group and split the task so that we each have something to contribute.

Our Scene Here:

Problems:

- Audio Echoing

- Actors Changing Positions

- Lighting

- Tripods

- Mise-En-Scene

Solutions:

- No solutions.

- Used a piece of paper on the ground.

- No solutions.

- No solutions.

- No solutions.

Next Time:

- Use a proper microphone and choose better setting.

- Use labels/objects on the ground to identify our spots.

- Buy lighting equipment and shoot in time that fits our scene better.

- Bring a tripod

- Use outfits, setting, appearance that will better fit our scene.

Reflection: i think we did a pretty decent job for a mini project, considering that mr nick gave us only 30 minutes maximum to do the recording, the only problem in this recording was our place of choice to record, we realized that audio is a crucial part of the project and if the audio is bad our whole video will be bad. Since we were in school and alot of people were watching us from outside, me personally was uncomfortable and also since this is the first time i ever acted or played as a character. Our group overall did a good jo. on this mini project but i hope all the drawbacks that is in this mini project wont come to our main project.

StoryBoard

 THIS BLOG PAGE IS FOR OUR STORYBOARD FOR OUR FILM OPENING SCENE

This was my groups attempt on doing the storyboard and halfway through we realised that this method we are using isnt very time efficient and because of this we decided to a simpler method. We also had to change one of the scene which is the smoking one because our teacher disagreed on that scene, he said smoking isnt cool and that we would get in a big trouble if we did that scene

This is our real storyboard

This storyboard was done by Alex and Arnold

Reflection: I didnt take part in doing the storyboard and all the work was done by alex and arnold, we appreciate these kings for taking the wheel on participating to do the storyboard

Classwork

 These are the terms and things we learned in media studies. Some of this work is taken from my teacher's slides and some is from the material we produced in class. 

                                                        Mise-en-Scene !

Refers to the arrangement and design of visual elements within a frame or a scene, this was really interesting because i never thought such small details make big effects

Mr nick traynor gave us a classwork to understand more about mise-en-scene

Camera Angle :

1. Long shot

2. Extreme Long shot

3. Medium shot

4. Cowboy shot

5. Close up

6. Extreme Close up shot

7. POV

8. Over the shoulder

9. High angle

10. Low angle

11. Dutch angle

12. Establishing s

    
    

    	Description	Effect
    Diegetic sound	Sound that can be heard by the characters within the media text.	Add a sense of realism. Reveal information to characters (and then audience)
    Non diegetic sound	Sound that can only be heard by the audience.	Enhance meaning, create an emotional response in the audience
    Trans diegetic sound	Sound that transitions from one to the other.	Creates a link between the audience and the world. More immersive

 Camera movements :

Fixed	Camera remains static	Calm, peace, normal
Push in	Camera moves slowly toward subject	Brings the audience closer, more involved, getting more serious.
Pull out	Camera moves slowly away from subject	Takes audience away from the action, leaving a character. Detaching from subject
Pan	Side to side, camera fixed	Reveal information, mirrors natural head movement of the audience.
Tilt	Up and down, camera fixed	Same as pan, just a different direction
Dolly	Camera moves around freely	More immersive, we are moving inside the subjects world, we feel part of the action
Tracking	Camera moves around on tracks	Similar to dolly, but smoother.
Crane		Reveals the epic size of the setting, landscape.
Handheld	Camera is shakey	Very natural, immersive. High energy
Zoom	Zoom	Brings audience closer to budget. Draws our attention to something.

Location Scout and Risk assesment

 Here is our locations that we are going to film at and the risks (Sagara and Panji)

Images : Taman Bali Festival - Padanggalak

Cosmic Diner Bali - Sunset Road

Location
Address:	https://g.co/kgs/2aTsbmT = Cosmic Diner Bali - Parking lot
Scene:	Panji comes in with a motorcycle and parks and he leans to the handlebars and reminisces about past traumas and actions he committed during his time spent being in a teenage gang.
Advantages of location:	Very often empty and thus will be easier to shoot due to less distractions, as well as less likely to break ethical considerations when it comes to being shown on camera. The vibe and aesthetic of the location is also really nice and fits the theme and time of our movie well.
Disadvantages of Location:	Close to a big road so the sounds of vehicles could become a disturbance and make it harder to edit the video afterwards. We might get kicked out of the location due to not being allowed to record on private property.
Alternatives:	Johnny Rockets?
Risk Assessment
Risk:	Who is at risk:	How to avoid risk:	High, Medium, Low risk:
Getting runover by a car	Actors and cameraman	Avoid areas with large amounts of cars and vehicle activity	High
Panji falling off bike	Actor	Ensure that the kickstand is down. Park bike in safe and stable location and manner	Low
Getting kicked out of area	Everyone in the group	Ask for permission from restaurant employees. Shoot scene quickly	Low

Location
Address:	Jl. Padang Galak No.3, Kesiman, Kec. Denpasar Tim., Kota Denpasar, Bali
Scene:	Remainder of the opening, gang beating up a random person (enemy/rival gang?, robbing a person?), this is the scene where the regret sets in on the main character, and the final straw was when he was forced to kill someone?.
Advantages of location:	The location is pretty much always empty with no visitors, this means that we’ll get the area all to ourselves and won’t be disturbed by people being around the area and them speaking, it’ll also be easier to act as we won’t be as embarrassed. The overall conditions of the location and how it is poorly maintained fits in with the mise-en-scene that we are going for, and could fit for the aesthetic we’re going for.
Disadvantages of Location:	The location has a lot of windows? So outdoor natural lighting will be shown, this could make it weird especially if we need to take multiple tries and scenes with the lighting and time of day being different in each of the scenes.
Alternatives:	No Foreseeable Alternatives.
Risk Assessment
Risk:	Who is at risk:	How to avoid risk:	High, Medium, Low risk:
Possessions	Everyone in the group	Pray before entering the area. Do not be disrespectful within the area. Ask for permission and greet the area.	Medium
Attacked by wild animals	Everyone in the group	Avoid areas with high amounts of animal activity. Do not agitate any wild animals we come across. Bring weapons for self defence against animals (last resort)	Medium
Injuries caused by bad infrastructure	Everyone in the group	Mind our steps and actions when shooting in the area. Observe and look for possible alternative areas within the location.	High

Reflection: The location scout we did was pretty easy because before hand we already knew what locations we were going to use and it was pretty easy to pick out because it was suitable for our film
