Production Blog

 Greetings! Welcome back. I want to talk more about filming and what the process was like. To start off a little more from the beginning, everything went smoothly. What ended up happening was Omnia and Harley came home with me from school on Thursday, March 16 and Marlo got a ride to my house from her parents. Filming started at around 5pm and sundown was at 7:30pm. My group and I used the 2 and 1/2 hours of daylight to film all the daytime scenes for this opening sequence. Scenes that were filmed were out of order due to the multiple days in the movie but only one day for the group to film. There was definitely much distraction due to the fact of my group and I being good friends and there is so much to talk about between us so it was hard to keep focus for long periods of time. Everyones ideas and opinions were heard and all of us had much creative input to give on scenes and how they should be filmed to portray the theme of the movie. Any night scenes in this opening sequence were filmed after 7:30pm and everyone left my house and went home at around 9pm. Overall, I had a very fun time filming and the whole group put in good and equal effort into getting the filming done in one day. Everyone contributed and it was a lot of fun as well as there being many laughs. Talk more next time!

Such as walking or placing down something on a shelf. There’s also non-diegetic sound, which is used to build suspense when there’s climax’s of action. My group will use diegetic and non-diegetic sound to also have this element. What elements of the genre did the movie have that you like?  In A Quiet Place the monsters that are hunting them are almost never directly shown. They’re shown in blurs and just in sound. You know there is danger, but you don’t know who or what’s behind it. It’s one of the elements my group enjoyed within this movie. It builds the suspense, because you draw your own conclusions and the u...

I am so beyond sad that everything is now complete and filming is over. It truly was such a blast to be able to film so much with my friends and make a pretty good short film. I will miss the process of filming this short film. There were many ups and downs but overall the experience in A level media has been a fun process and I am proud of how hardworking me and my group were making this short film.
