Hey Blog! Today I will be adding final touches to my blog. Once the main editing was done, I knew I had to give my film that final touch to make my short look polished. Color correction was something I didn’t really understand at first. I didn't incorporate this into my short last year, so I decided it would be a good idea this year. I quickly realized how important it was in making the film look cohesive. Some of my shots were too bright, while others were too dark, and I had to adjust the exposure on certain scenes. I played around with the contrast and saturation to make the colors pop, but not too much—too much saturation can make the footage look unnatural. It was a simple balance, but I wanted the film to have a specific mood, so I chose a warmer tone overall. I spent a long time adjusting the shadows and highlights to get the right look for each scene. The color grading process was like adding the final layer of paint to a canvas, giv...
Hey Blog! Today was my first filming day for our short film. It was exciting and nerve-wracking. Honestly, last night I had a hard time sleeping. I just wanted to make sure everything would go right. Earlier today, my first task was to set up the location of everything, and it wasn't as easy as I thought. We filmed in my house, but I still had to rearrange my furniture to create the right sort of look for every scene. Yet once we adjusted everything, it ended up looking perfect! Karina and I spent hours today trying to figure the best angles to capture our ideas. I had to make sure I had enough space for the camera to travel smoothly. My first few takes were awkward, but I realized that it's normal to have a little difficulty. This also happened last year in my intro to short film. It was also a little hard working with my actresses, making sure they completely got into camera. While filming, I found myself constantly checking lighting, ev...
Hey Blog! Today I will be taking a deep dive into 9, both the short and full length, to do research before my project. I hope you all enjoy! Shane Acker’s 9 was originally a short film in 2005 that later became a full-length movie in 2009. Both versions take place in a post-apocalyptic world w here small ragdoll creatures, each named after numbers, try to survive. Although both films have the same plot, the differences between the short and full-length films are evident . So, throughout the rest of this blog I will compare the two! The short film 9 is about ten minutes, with a minimal narrative. Although it is short, the film still possesses an urgent tone. It revolves around a living doll, 9, and his quests to find other survivors. Due to the dystopian genre, the film is visually dark and has decayed machinery props. The film is almost silent, with minimal dialogue and sound, so that way the audience may...
