Filming Diary

YAY I'M DONE!!!

Yesterday, Monday, Febuary 22nd, I finished filming all the scenes for my movie! It went well. I had to rush a little due to the cold (again) but this time, I believe the clips came out great! Surprisingly the quality was a lot better.

Idea!

Well watching through the footage I have thus far...I really don't like how my sister's lines came out. But I don't want to put in another voice because she did amazing expressions. So I came up with something better.

When she speaks, her screen cuts to black with what she says written in a scratchy text. Meanwhile, some of the titles will scroll across. This is taken from a video game cinematic opening actually. Before the opening song, it has the main character reading a line which sets up the whole game basically (played by Haley Joel Osment) and Kingdom Hearts 1 does this also (which is where the idea came from) for a character who is not supposed to be revealed till the second game.



At 9 minutes in is my main inspiration. When the scene cuts and the text shakes in a very creepy fashion.

Something like that for my own film. I hope it works. Should be good if it does...

Avatar Research

For the exam segement of our Media course, we had to research Avatar (2009 James Cameron film).

I went on the Pearl&Dean website and found these stats on its audience.
