AICE Media Studies 2020

Back up link:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tb1YDkLtSU All right, we finally got this video filmed and edited. For the most part since I played a big part in story boarding and having the plan in my mind (my partner gave plenty of suggestions that we used), due to this I did a lot of the directing and picking camera angles. There was a good amount of ad-libbing that in which both parties contributed majorly. As to editing the raw footage, my partner really look the lead, I provided plenty of suggestions and even picked the song. However, as is, it needs to be cut down and fixed up. There is still a lot of work to do.

“Faint of heart” By Mac Mitchell & Ellie Fitzgerald FAde In: bench shot little to no dialogue in this scene.

Then while sitting and looking at the sunset begins to apply sun screen Sweats scene Ed is getting ready for his workout. Close up shots of him zipping up track suit and putting on a head lamp on. Also little to no dialogue in this scene. Mostly just atmospheric sounds. Italian scene This is a mid-shot of Svetlana walking past a Italian restaurant. There is more atmospheric sound in this scene however Svetlana makes a verbal display of disgusted as she walks by (i.e. dry heaving etc. ) The Bite scene This scene opens with an establishing shot of the celery fields the locations where ed and svetlana meet. As point of view shot happens Ed cuts his hand and the shot directs to that. you hear atmospheric noise until Svetlana

The "Celery Fields" in Sarasota, FL

Establishing Shot High angle to create the effect of being watched The Canted/POV makes it seem as if Svetlana was peering around the sign A potential Two Shot for Svetlana and Ed to appear together The long shot will show Ed approaching The Mid Shot will serve mostly in shot reverse shot to make it seem like the characters are talking The Close up will be for Svetlana to focus in on his neck Wide shot to show the character stretch The Over the Shoulder for when when Ed looks at a fainted Svtetlana

I will be cast as Ed, this is part due to my understanding of how I want the role played. In addition to that I fit the mold we had in mind for his physical appearance. The Physical appearance sets up a variety of jokes we can use. My Partner, Ellie, will play Svetlana. This is for a variety of reasons, one of which is the same reason as me in that she understands most of what character needs. However, to contrast, she is a tall blonde. Vampires are usually imagined to have dark hair. We felt as if the change would mirror her awkwardness or irregularity as a vampire, after all she faints at the sight of blood. We will need some one to film our movie, but we will use my sister in this instance. My partner and I will carefully monitor the filming process as she does this for us and ensure it would be the same as if the camera was in our hands.

All of the motions are all set up and now my partner and I will film in the following week. We will both have no extra curricular to prevent this next week. We sure are excited to get down to this!
