So now that I have talked to you guys about my last 2 questions and the video idea I have, I am going to talk about my 3rd CCR question and my idea for my second video in this blog.
The idea I plan for my second video is a slideshow/interview format where I talk to the viewers directly with putting up images of the film and what I am going to be talking about in the video and explaining to the viewers about my film with answering questions 3 and 4 to them.
Now like my other CCR blog posts, you need the question to make this post and the 3rd question is: How did your production skills develop throughout this project?
So to start off, I feel like my production skills have not only evolved through this project, but with all the projects I have done so far. The process of us thinking we are going to just buy fake blood and us actually making it adds to the fact of producing props for the film to make it seem as realistic as possible and the locations we talk over about, the costuming, the lighting and the positioning for every shot that we need for the film feels like I was actually becoming a director while also being an actor when I was in the shots redoing certain takes to make sure that the film looks not just good to submit as a project but also as a sense of realism that would be present in an actual film.
I started out on this project expecting for it to be a simple project that we could just do easily without much thought into it and this project has taught me on how to improve my production skills and work ethic by planning out an idea, testing the idea to see if you like it and if you don't, you can always try a new one and if you like it, roll with it and invest your time into perfecting it.
Some examples of my production skills improving are retaking certain shots. We thought that just putting on dark clothes would be a good idea to portray the monster in our film but we realized that it didn't look as good as we thought it would when we looked back at the footage, so I improvised as I got my Halloween costume and cut of any necessary pieces to make the monster seem as realistic as possible and we retook it and the shots looked much better. The other production skills I improved was the angles and type of shots we took. In the past, the shots I tried to make looked off and I did not really understand the actual meaning of how to identify and replicate the different shot types but with this, I feel like we not only improved on the shot making, but also incorporated more shots into the film, adding a more wide variety of shots in the film.
