Week 3: Production Set back/ Filming equipment

 


Updates on production

Hey guys! Unfortunately my actors didn't have time to film over the weekend because things came up. But don't fear because we will be doing the filming process today! I had to gather some filming equipment from my teacher so our film could be more professional. I decided to use a film camera rather than using a phone because the film will look 10x more professional. 
Here is the equipment I am borrowing from my teacher:
The first piece of equipment I am going to be using is a gimbal. A gimbal is a hand held mount that stabilizes a camera while it's moving. This is going to be super important for shots where my actor will be walking because rather than having a shaky hand held shot, the shot would be smooth. The gimbal uses motors and sensors to automatically balance the camera. Most modern gimbals are 3-axis stabilizers, (which I will be using). The gimbal tilts up and down, pans left to right, and roll side to side.


For the camera I will be using a canon rebel t6i. This camera is really good for filming because it is affordable and user friendly. It has a solid 1080 p quality, which isn't the best however it is great for a beginner. The camera also features a "Hybrid CMOS AF III" which provides smooth auto focus during live video. 
The last thing I will be using is mic. My teacher recommended to use this mic to plug into my phone and record the audio, then later put it into adobe premier.

Week 3: First Day on Set

                                                                                       First Day on Set      Hey guys! I have a few updates for you, as you know we started the shoot of Panik and heres how things went!     First off, we started shooting around 7:30. As you know this is going to be a horror movie therefore we need to shoot at night to give that vibe. So my two friends, Kain and Nick came over to begin the shoot. In the beginning I was having trouble working the camera since this is my first time ever actually using one. After I tweaked with some of the settings I set it up on the gimbal, plugged in the mic to my phone, and began filming. Initially we were going to film scene by scene so it d...

Week 2: Story Board

  Story Board      Hey guys! I wanted to give you guys a little preview of my story board and upcoming things you should be excited about. First, we already have our film date set which is 2/21/26! Yes that's right!!! In exactly two days we will start the filming process. This means that the movie should be done sooner then anticipated which is always a plus. The editing process is going to be a whole other story because I still have to learn a bunch of thing with the program I will be using. Anyway, this little story board should give you guys an idea on what my project is going to look like.       Here is just a rough draft of what my film would look like, (don't mind my horrible drawing). If you break down each scene you can see how I tried to implement as much suspense as possible. I am really excited about the scene where the audience sees from the antagonists POV, that's going to be really fun to edit. I already have tones of ideas about the...
