Second Day of production

 Second Day of Production 

    Starting the final week of this journey we have officially ended production. It all went well and all of it is done all that is left is finish off on the editing and finishing my CCRs. 

What We Recorded

    As I mentioned in a previous post for the second day of production we were recording the in school scenes. We recorded the events that take place before the at home scenes. We also had to recorded other things to make sure we can properly represent what we want to, in this case it being how our protagonist is lonely due to being new to the country.

How Did We Represent this?

    For the scenes at home to show that the protagonist has just moved in we relied on the surroundings of the house. For the school scenes we focused a lot on the other students. We showed how all the students were socializing, while our protagonist walked and ate lunch alone.  

    Another thing we wanted to represent was the boys love for music, that is why in some scenes you can see him wearing wireless headphones and at the at home scenes he only feels relaxed when he starts playing music in the record player. It was really important to show how music relaxes our protagonist so representing this is important to us. 

improvements

 Things We Could Improve 

    While recording we have had many thing we could have improved on. One thing I think we could have done better in the production process is time management. I think we took to long to start recording and it hurt us. If we would have managed our time better I believe our result would have been much better. 

CCR preparations

 CCR Preparation

    Preparing for my CCR I am still planning on doing my talk show with myself idea. An idea I am considering doing for my second video is a YouTube reaction video, where the questions pop up and I just answer them in a common YouTube video style. 

    For my talk show idea I would use the same camera that is being used to record the movie intro, which is thew Nikon Z30. If I end up doing my YouTube video idea I would use a Logitech webcam and OBS to screen record the questions. 

preparing for day 2 of production

 Production Day 2 Preparations

    Preparing for day 2 of production we are making sure we are ready. As stated in previous blog posts our plan is too record during class on Monday. To make sure we are ready we need to make sure since I am the main actor, that I am wearing the same clothing I wore on day one since it takes place in the same day. 

    For the equipment we need to make sure to have camera fully charged and make sure we have our SD card. Another thing we are going to focus on is the characters love for music, so when the character feels alone in school he would put on headphones since music helps relax him. 

 What’s Next?

What’s next? For out project we are looking to find time during our school schedule to record the at school scenes. I’m going to be in Orlando during spring break so Yoav volunteered to edit the at home scenes while I’m out. I’m also thinking about ideas for my CCR. One of the ideas I have is a talk show where I talk to my self. In editing I would split the screen so there is two me on screen, one asking questions and one answering.
