Blog Post #47 - Recording Ed Entering the Office

 Ed entering the office is an important part of my project, as he is not present at the beginning, and only enters after Fern is reading the news. It would not make sense for him to suddenly appear next to Fern, after not being seen in any other shot. 



During this shot, I wish to have a wide shot of Ed coming through the door, and speaking to Fenr while still slightly covered by the door, the shot will then use a whip pan to show Fern responding to Ed. This technique will be used in order to reduce the number of attempts it will take for each shot, compared to recording it all in one shot. The shot will then switch to Ed walking through the room towards Fern, zooming out as he approaches. This will be the end of the scene.



The shots at the end of this video are the ones I will use inside my project, they may require trimming, editing, or voiceovers in order to make them better, but I am satisfied with the results I have achieved today. Next is to record the following conversation between Ed and Fern that happens in the middle of the project.

 In this post, I plan to give a general, current visual representation and sequencing for my project, and the scenes within it. These scenes include Fern and Ed speaking in the detective's office, Fern and Ed exiting the detectives office, Fern and Ed entering the car and driving in it, Fern and Ed appearing at the crime scene with the dead body, and possibly a scene featuring the killer.  This picture is a representation of the first scene, featuring an over-the-shoulder shot behind Ed, facing Fern reading the "S.K.B.D. News" This picture is a representation of the second scene, showing Ed and Fern leaving the office, through a two-shot, with Fern in the background, and Ed in the midground, picking up keys in the foreground. I chose this configuration to put emphasis on the keys.    These pictures are a representation of the fourth scene, which starts with an action cut from the last seen, showing Ed and Fern leaving the office driveway, through a wide shot.

Blog Post #41 - Obstacles Recording the Security Camera Scene

Image
 While me and my actors were getting ready to start recording, we ran into multiple unexpected problems. The scene I will be discussing in this post is the scene of the security camera footage, which features the Killer killing Lacey's Child, the Killer played by me, and the child by Ethan. The script for this scene has the killer approaching the child, and stabbing him, with (fake) blood flying out. Photo of me, Eriberto (Eddie) Mendoza, in the Killer's outfit before recording The problems we ran into may have been unexpected, but they were not unpredictable and could have been planned ahead. The biggest obstacle we ran into was the  weather . We noticed a few hours before, the sky had gotten gloomy, grey, and cloudy, but I dismissed it, being eager to start production. When my actors arrived at my house to record the scene, I felt a drop come from the sky, at this point I was starting to get worried, the sky had gotten darker and more grey.  Recording When we went to st...
