Assignment #6: Ideas for Master Shot

My group has not been able to get together yet to discuss our roles due to scheduling conflicts, but I think I would be most useful working with the script, as I hope to be a scriptwriter one day. I think I would be most useful in this role because I would enjoy working with the actual script rather than the technical aspects of the production process. I think I would be best suited to do the lining of the script or putting together the shot list. I am horrible at math, so I think budgeting would probably be the worst possible position for me to be in. I hope that everyone’s schedule works better for is in the coming week and that we are able to come together to decide where everyone’s talents would fit the best. I hope that I am able to get the position that I would fit best in.

Assignment #2: Light Observations

The first room that I chose to observe light in was the bathroom of my home. The room has two light sources, an overhead light bulb encased by a floated globe and three round lights above the bathroom mirror against the wall. The frosted glass light bulbs above the mirror make the light emanating from those bulbs have more of a yellow hue than the overhead light with the globe covering it. The further away towel rings, toilet paper holders, and towel racks are from the light sources, the more subtle the shadows behind them appear to be. The shadows appearing behind these objects are also elongated down and across the wall. Pictures hanging on the wall, to the right and down from the bathroom mirror only cast a shadow on the side farthest from the light. The shadows also now appear shorter than the actual objects the farther they are from the light source. The second room that I chose to observe the light of was my home computer room. I chose this room because there are, again, two li...

Blog #8: Master Shot Sound Experience

I was in charge of sound for our Master Shot project. Our director, Brandon preferred to use his own equipment, so we used his Tascam 5D Mark II and two of his shotgun microphones. While Brandon was very helpful in explaining how to use the equipment, I do worry about missing the experience of using the   H4N. However, I expect we will all have access to different equipment next semester, so I will probably have to learn new equipment all over again next semester, anyway. As far as actually recording the sound, it was a pretty straightforward, easy job. The most difficult part of it was keeping the boom microphones out of the shot, supporting them on my shoulders for so long, and using them in a relatively small space in between the two actors. I prefer the editing experience over all of the positions that I have occupied so far in our projects.

Assignment #5: B-Roll & Vox Pops

The Saber Fitness Club of UNCW meets every Monday in the Warwick ballroom from seven o'clock to ten o'clock to practice.  We were invited to film the practice by Chris, one of the founding members, and interview members of the club throughout the practice. We asked each interviewee what they liked about the club, what they felt they got out of being in the club, and if they felt that other UNCW students should join. Aside from the Vox Pops, we were also able to get a lot of good shots for our b-roll of the club members learning combat moves, with Chris instructing them, and the club practicing them together. Chris and all the members of the Saber Fitness Club were very gracious, letting us intrude on their weekly practice. I feel that the practice was a great place for us to film and offered me a lot of material to work with when I edited all of the film together.
