Funny moments - #31

  While filming for the project, there were several times when we all had to stop and just enjoy the moment and have fun. This did not exceed too much of our time filming, which was the most important part so that we didn't have to film on more than two separate days. Along with shooting each part, we were also able to work together quickly to get it right at least once.


  The funniest part of filming for me was the dialogue parts because whenever either Victor or Kyle looked at the camera, they had a big smile on their face, which caused me, the director, to laugh out loud. Another thing when shooting these parts was when Victor or Kyle forgot their lines, which filled the room with an awkward silence. 


  As well as shooting each shot, I reviewed them with my actors to get their critique or see if we should reshoot again. One shot in particular that had us laughing uncontrollably was when Tim (the protagonist) lies on the ground in pain and makes groaning noises. After watching this over, we all lost it when we heard the different types of noises Kyle tried to make.

Settings to Consider - #4

   When creating a film, it is always important to identify the setting, or multiple settings. This is because it will help to match the event to when and where it is taking place.

The location should also be clean and organized as well.     It should also include an exterior setting, which may showcase how the characters interact with each other more openly, and at certain times of the day. A great exterior setting to use would be around the neighborhood, because it is an easy place to go out and film at and there is a lot of space for different types of camera shots. There may be some parts of the film that need to be filmed at night, or during the day, and this can be greatly demonstrated using the natural lighting of the sun.   The location of the final battle should be noted as it may be included in the opening. This is because I believe that tying

Genre History - #2

 Since my project will be a sports drama, I needed to do some research on the genre's history to gain more info. To start off, the Sports genre began with Charlie Chaplin's 'The Champion' (1915), which is a boxing silent film. The drama genre has more confusing beginnings however, since it was said to have originated in Greece as an evolution of religious ritual. Around the same time however, the Sanskrit Indian Prakarana arose, which is a play that consisted of five acts. This may have been regarded to spreading the genre of drama in the east, the same way Greece did in the west.  As I've said before, 'The Champion' was the very first sports film. However, this was only a silent film which came around during the silent film era. Meaning that there was no real dialogue or important sounds which could influence the meaning of the film. A much more popular sports film that came later was Rocky (1976) starring Sylvester Stallone. Rocky has also remained a cultu
