Production Diary 3

On the 28th of February Aidan and I arranged a meet up and we shot the entire film once again, the filming of the film went very well and there were no practical problems. We had to use my digital camera again but that wasn't a problem as Aidan was able to figure it out relatively quickly.

The movie has come out very well and we have begun adding in some fast cuts and fade to/from black transitions.

We showed it to our teacher and we were told to add a couple scenes that show the main characters pathetic nature.

Storyboarding

Feb 20th - The storyboards for the film have been completed and we are ready to start filming

Feb 26th - The story for our movie wasn't good enough and we weren't fast enough in introducing the the main character and the tropes that would come with this good-for-nothing hero. So we've had to redo the storyboards.

Production Diary 1

I have filmed most of the film apart from the two establishing shots at the beginning and end.

while editing the movie I noticed the lighting was quite dark which is what we were going for. However I may go back through the scenes and adjust the contrast and exposures little.

I also haven't yet recorded he voice over for the main character/narrater yet.

The movie has been filmed almost exactly like I imagined however the runtime is far too long, as instead of 120 seconds the uncut footage has shot up to 5 minutes so I'll need to do some major trimming in almost every scene. I'll see if i can speed any scenes up an drake it look natural.

Also the lack of a actual DSLR camera affected the recordings since I had to use my cam-corder to film the entire thing.

Lighting

For the kind of movie we've planned we think a dark lighting in the beginning would be a good idea.

Deadpool had a very dark start and One Punch Man also had a dark start, they all got brighter as the movie went on.

Kick Ass had quite a bright opening with some black comedy.
