Filming Process Post (redo)

-

After planning to do a group project based on a horror movie opening, my group broke up into individual projects. My individual project is called “Lost in Paradise”. It is an aesthetic intro of a movie based on a girl having a rejuvenating time at the beach with her friends. At the end, the intro takes a turn for the worst and the main character is kidnapped.


Filming Post 3


Most of my film was shot from 4:30p.m to 6:30p.m. Here I was taking a video of a beach bag, flip flops, and a phone laying on top of the back. In order to give the shot movement, I backed away and gave the shot a moving high angle view. Filming during golden hour was my goal due to how relaxing and visually pleasing the outcome would be. Golden hour shines a beautiful bronze light on the beach below. Later on, a person in the frame with their back facing the sun shows a nice silhouette figure against the sun.


On the way down to the beach, I took videos of the shops off 5th Avenue. I used the moving car to my advantage as it gave the shots movement and variety. The beauty factor of downtown was also something I sought to capture in order to go with the flow of the rest of the film opening. Some of these shots were taken in slow motion, others weren’t. An issue faced while taking these shots was the amount of traffic downtown. Because of the traffic, the car would stop throughout the long videos of the shops, stopping the flow of the shot.

A wide shot goes to show the interior of Captain America’s aircraft. When Peggy understands he is in trouble, a reaction shot captures her crying. After the scene between Peggy and Captain America, the camera tilts up as a city landscape by a bridge is shown. Right upon hanging up the phone, Agent Carter’s(Peggy) boss leaves his office and enters the next room over where all agents are standing and paying close attention. The camera pans to the left to connect his movement from his office to the next room. Editing Parallelism is shown twice as the camera shifts back and forth from Peggy to Captain America during their conversation and as Penny is alone after hours in the office. Because Ag...

Preparing to Film

Actors: Berluche Prunier , Chynney Dorvil, Janney Vera, and Arianna Verdecia The roles in the film will include the main character , other students to satisfy the school setting, and the main character’s best friend. Costumes: It would be best for the main character to dress nicely and slowly have her outfit looking older and worn out as time passes. Other students will wear casual attire.
