Day 1 of Recording (Reflection)

Conclusion

Day 1 of recording comes to an end. My progress from this day is that scene two is half done and scene three is complete. Not bad for one day. In the end of the day, I gave my actor some pizza for an award of coming and acting. I discussed when the next day of the recording would happen so that we could potentially finish all the shots. This day I felt very accomplished, for a day that didn't need three people. We got about half of the film done in recordings. My directing skills came in the first minute of the day and decided to work to not waste time. I later made this map when I was organizing all the clips in a drive of mine. 

This chart shows the scenes length and how much shots are needed, and how much are done. Scene three is shown to be done, but the finished number was 4/4. Now scene one was going to go for shorter amount of cuts but longer length between cuts. Now it was time to send these clips to my editor and see how they manage to transition a whip pan and a passing shot. 

My most passionate shot: the passing shot.

One thing I didn't show much about a passion of mine was the passing shot. In earlier blogs, I studied how to do a passing shot and how they convey meaning towards the film. I took this idea from a popular director (Edgar Wright) in which I wanted to replicate it in my film now below I will show two clips that connect with each other that basically makes up what a passing shot is.

As seen, it starts as the camera moves right in which the camera will be behind a object, in our case, the actor's hair. Then in the other clip starts blacked out then goes away to make it look like it 'passed' through an object into a different setting. That was a shot that I wanted to achieve in which in the end when fully done edited will be accomplished. In the end, my day one was a successful day of filming, and I will ensure that the second day will go smoother.
