Blog Post 1 - Beginning of Film

 


The crew started filming this week by trying to find the perfect location for sunlight and exposure. In the picture above, you can see that our photographer (Reid) was above the courtyard. We were deciding what sort of scenarios and motions would be more imposing for our alien (Me) to be at and how we could make the scene better with good angles. 

We also did look at a variety of pictures in the courtyard, such as this one.

There should be hint that further investigation of the alien would be taking place. Nothing left me ...

Both are exampled in word and give a strange and unknown feeling about them.  Video effects used are weather elements such as an older film reel and rustic feel.  Transitions are smooth cuts between the transition to the human being and the Alien. However, there are also quick cuts that relive the experience of fear and tension between the human being and the chase of the Alien.  Audio effects such as a slurred speech of the human due to the tiered nature of the human. Some problems are the cuts in between editing. This can be exampled by the photo of our editor where he is struggling with the hallway scene and creating an in-depth set of all these scenes put together. We were able to take all these films and cut them into tiny pieces to provide the transitions needed.  We spen...
