Use of filming production

 Evidence of filming production 

In our first week of filming when we used our DSLR camera to film Hallucination , we set up the camera and the tripod to the correct hight and distance to be able to get the footage that we needed. Although we used camera and tripod to film we also had to create good lighting scenes and in order to do this we used 3 point lighting and a portable light that was given to us , even with the light we used our mobile phone torches to help us.

Here we used the portable light given to us which we turned on swell as using natural lighting.

After filming all of our scenes within a week we had to put it in final cut pro however when we listened back to it some of the audio wasn't loud enough and you couldn't hear the actors so we used a microphone to make voice overs of the parts that weren't as clear. 

We had to film the picnic scene many times because of the lighting outside we needed it to look clear and be focused, we tried to create an effect of Simon being able to sit down with her dead friends and talk about what they will do in the future. We used a tripod to create a still recording of the picnic scene. The food they are eating in the picnic just represents how they are as friends as they are all different but together they are really good and I just feel like showing the audience that they were close means a lot and that Selma losing her friends impacted her a lot and thats why she can't get over the fact that they died a year ago.

 

So here in these two pictures we have used 3 point lighting in order to create shadows on each of the characters and to allow Simona the main character of the film to be the most lit up along with me who is having the conversation with simona. Using these lights helped us create a more cinematic shot for our film because of 

we couldnt get the shots that we wanted beforeas we couldnttake the equipment outside of school however we were able to film in the classroom with the equipment that was brought in by one of the teachers in order to help accomplish our lighting scene to make it cinematic
