2 | SUMMER MENTORSHIP HOURS | |||
3 | 7/7/2015 | 3 hours | Today was my first day helping Mr. Daly with his summer film course. When I first got there, the students were finishing up an activity regarding rough drafts of door scenes they had executed on the first day. During this time, Mr. Daly had me participate in this activity by giving "commendations and recommendations" to the groups after viewing their project, being that I am a course veteran. After completing that, I was given the task to clean out the editing computers by deleting all the old footage and projects from the semester before in order to make room for the new data that the students would import from their cameras over the course of the class. Upon completion of that, I also formatted all the video cameras so that the students had fresh memory cards to film with when the time came for them to shoot their first short films. | 3 hours |
4 | 7/8/2015 | 3 hours | Today, Mr. Daly introduced the class to the idea of organization on set. He explained to the class how to use call sheets and clarify what a storyboard is - the use of drawings in order to convey the look and type of shot to the filmmaker executing camera work on set. While he was briefing the class, I was sent downstairs to make a copies of storyboard sheets and call sheets in addition to a packet with pictures and explanations of certain types of angles. We then proceeded to complete an activity where each group had a storyboard and had to pass their own storyboard to another group in order to film the initial group's interpretation of the drawings. I was called to prepare the cameras for use. During the filming of this activity, I was opening and unlocking specific classrooms for groups as well as monitoring their progress. I was allowed to give some help, but not disclose too much information, since Mr. Daly wanted the students to try and solve their own problems. Upon the completion, I was then given all the footage to organize very nicely into an iMovie project, so that during feedback, the class could watch it all without a problem. | 6 hours |
5 | 7/9/2015 | 3 hours | During today's class, we finished up the activity from the day before with feedback for commendations and recommendations. I was to give my input on what I felt could have been improved as well as reward acclamation to those who achieved above the expectation. I then went downstairs to help prepare the computer lab for usage, because Mr. Daly was going to teach the class how to use iMovie and the basics of editing. When downstairs, I walked around and monitored students' progress. For those who needed some help, I provided some assistance in order for them to get back on track. After finishing his interactive lecture, Mr. Daly allowed the class to get creative with their edits and explorecertain aspects of iMovie, such as special effects, color grading, and background music. Being that I am very familiar with this editing software, I was able to show some students how to blosom their creativity through the use of the tools given to them on iMovie. | 9 hours |
6 | 7/13/2015 | 3 hours | For today's class, the students were introduced to the concepts of production value. In order to completely understand it, Mr. Daly showed the class a video regarding the Behind-The-Scenes look at Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets as well as a Director's Commentary of Pacific Rim. During this time I was looking over storyboards to make sure that all the necessary components were on the pages in order to execute filming for the following class day. Since the class was pretty much engaged in watching the videos and listening to the lectures, I was told to prepare for the first day of filming. I re-formatted the memory cards, arranged shooting binders, and made sure the computers were in top shape for use. After their portion on production value, Mr. Daly had me go into the ROP room to experiment with different lighting styles as well as set up the softboxes in a 3-point lighting style in order to share with the class how lighting is an essential aspect in creating the perfect shot. | 12 hours |
7 | 7/14/2015 | 3 hours | Upon arriving today, we started out the class with a general briefing of what was expected for the day. The students were assigned their rooms and I was going to open them and make sure they were all good to film. Any kind of assistance or advice I could possibly give I did. For the most part, the groups seemed to know what they wanted to film and how they wanted it to be executed. For most of the day, I monitored the groups to make sure they were all on task and practicing their newly accquired filmmaking skills. Daly then gave my friend, Karina Tostado who was also a TA, and I the oppurtunity to create our own door scene to show our progress as filmmakers to the students. Toward the end of the day, I went back to all the classrooms that the students used to make sure everything was put back and locked away for safety. | 15 hours |
8 | 7/15/2015 | 3 hours | Today, most groups were done filming by the time class had started, so I walked around to view the rough cuts before their final submissions. I would watch their rough cuts all the way through and tell them what was needed to try and evoke the right feeling into their audiences, whether it be a closer cut, a change in music, or an addition of a special effect to exaggerate the situation played out on the screen. I found that once groups sat down and looked over their dallies from the day before, most realized that they needed to perform some re-shoots of certain shots because of issues they had not necessarily noticed when initially filming. I suggested re-shoots to a couple of groups due to an interupption of the continuity as well as a misunderstanding of some guidelines. I helped try and suggest the aspects in their films that I felt could be added in order to show that they deserved an AE for the assignment. | 18 hours |
9 | 7/16/2015 | 3 hours | During today's class, we helped to students finish up their edits and I gave some last minute critiques to their pieces before final submissions. I then helped the group export their final projects and send them to the showcasing computer, where Mr. Daly was organizing the final viewing order in which we would provide feedback. During this time I helped run off some copies of the the rubric and guidelines for the project that was going to be completed next week. I proceeded to view the films with the rest of the class and include my final input on what they could generally improve for the next week in terms of story, cinematography, and editing. I was also given the oppurtunity to showcase my own door scene that I edited on my own time. | 21 hours |
10 | 7/21/2015 | 3 hours | For today, I had to be caught up to speed on what was currently happening. I was unable to attend the class the day before due to the fact that I was participating in a college tour of the University of Southern California. All the groups had been introduced to the idea of a "Hollywood pitch" ( a time when students go up in front of the class with their idea and storyboard and explain their method of execution) the day before and Mr. Daly had told me they had all been approved. With this in mind, I personally visited each group in order to get a general idea on what they were doing. I also gave my own personal input on what they could do to make their idea pop out even more. I also took on the role to be an extra in a group's public service announcement regarding "The acceptance of being single." In addition, I helped one group set up a scene with very dramatic lighting because they were going for a "more serious" look to play off a satirical idea. (Their message was "The danger of unnecessary trends" Ex: Selfie sticks, the cinammon challenge, etc.) I also tried to provide some screenwriting assistance to a couple groups that were struggling a bit in finding a way to make their message more clear in the time alotted (30 seconds). In the end, we decided to include on screen dialogue to cut down a lot of unnecessary spoken dialogue. By the end of the class, a good amount of groups were almost done filming and were mostly editing. I went to every class and made sure everything was alright to leave for the day. I helped collapse the lighting equipment that was set up for that one group and made sure it was all put away. | 24 hours |
11 | 7/22/2015 | 3 hours | During today, we had second day for filming. I, again, opened classrooms for students and went around making sure they were all on task. Since most groups were at the point of editing, I went back to the classroom to monitor some edits and provide feedback once I completed my rounds outside. Much like how the door scene went, I watched their rough cuts and showed them tips and tricks to get the special effects they wanted. Their was a specific group that was needed some help with a green screen effect for their PSA since they were using a really cool special effect regarding the very viral, Shia LeBouf "JUST DO IT" video. I had explained to the group the general basics on how green screens work and how to successfully execute the effect within iMovie. In addition, I provided constructive criticism on what I felt they could improve before final assessment and if they should go back out to perform re-shoots. | 27 hours |
12 | 7/23/2015 | 3 hours | Today I came around to give final notes and inputs on videos before final export and exhibition. For the most part I gave recommendations on sound editing, since Mr. Daly was expecting improvement for audio recording compared to the door scenes. I came around to make sure that everyone was on task and then went downstairs to run copies for Mr. Daly regarding the final film project, the scene recreation. I also ran moe copies of call sheets and storyboards. When it was time, the class came together to view their work they had completed over the course of the week. Overall, it was an enormous improvement from the week before. The students seemed to be understanding the concepts and be more creative when it came to getting around issues. I also gave my final commendations and recommendations to the groups as they were assessed. Mr. Daly introduced the final project to the students and I was there to answer any questions or concerns they had regarding the project since I had recently undergone the project myself. | 30 hours |
13 | 7/27/2015 | 3 hours | Today was more of a work day for planning and organization for the upcoming film days. The students had to pick which scene they wanted to do and create storyboards so that they could pitch them to the class for approval. I went around and provided some suggestions to groups that were having a bit of trouble deciding which scenes they wanted to complete, since there is a plethora of really good scenes to recreate. In addition, I provided assistance in the form of techniques and possibilites on how some groups could successfully go through with some specific shots. | 33 hours |
14 | 7/28/2015 | 3 hours | The groups pitched their scenes to the class and were given some feedback on potential techniques that could help make the recreation as accurate as possible. All the groups were approved and were allowed to start filming. Again, my job was to monitor and make sure everyone stayed on task. I was able to help a specific group that recreated the famous tater-tot scene from "Napoleon Dynamite" recreate the general setting to play in favor of the camera. Although the room may look like it may be set up a certain way in the shot, the set is designed to make everything as aesthetic as possible, so I came around and helped critique the production value in relative to the clip of the movie. I was also able to help another group play around with their lighting in order to get the perfect lighting for a scene that they were filming from "Twilight". I suggested to a lot of groups also to take pictures from the actual scene themselves in order to copy the mise en scene as accurately as possible. Toward the end of the shooting day, I went around making sure everything was in their proper place and locked up. | 36 hours |
15 | 7/29/2015 | 3 hours | Today was the final day of work. The students needed to have been done filming and editing by the time the class was over for the day, in order to present their work at the final exhibition. I, again, walked around to monitor and provide any possible assistance. I actually acted in a couple of student scene recreations as an extra in order to match the look of the film. For the most part, many groups were on their final stage of production to import footage and edit. I was able to provide more feedback to the groups that felt they were finished early with their work. I was also able to teach one group (The "Twilight" group) a little bit of color grading in order to get that bluish look that is portrayed in the actual film. I helped point out key elements that some groups were missing in their films such as essential sound effects and background music. There were a couple groups that I helped them with some continuity issues they had with specific shots. We ended having them try and re-shoot those shots in order to maintain the essence of what the film truly felt like within that scene. I then locked up the classrooms and made sure everything was back where it belonged at the end of the day. | 39 HOURS |
16 | MENTORSHIP HOURS | |||
17 | 12/19/2015 | 2 hour | Today I met up with Marc and he briefed me on general camera basics (camera 101). He showed me the general settings and how ISO works, how to properly set aperature, and the way to properly gauge the type of shutter speed. We then discussed the rules of thumbs for camera sets and examples of creative uses of such settings. He talked about what he felt were the main differences in a professionally done film and an amateur student produced product and it all came down to how well the cameraman knew what he was doing. We discussed how psychologically film works in relative to a moving objects with a bunch of frames and how the creation of the movie first started with just two generally similar pictures flipped back and forth gives the illusion of movement. | 2 hours |
18 | 12/29/2015 | 2 hours | Today, Marc showed me some lighting techniques and certain aspects regarding how light isn't always necessarily prevalent to where it is. We broke down a couple of shots from Martin Scorcese's Wolf of Wall Street and how subtle certain lights are. We discussed a bit of the science aspect of lighting and how similar they are to thte sun and their general relevance to the sun. In addition, he explained how flags work and what they are used for. We discussed the practicallity for three point lighting and when the appropriate times to use this technique was. | 4 hours |
19 | 1/1/2016 | 1 hour | Marc and I discussed screenwriting and the different types of storytelling templates are. We talked about the normal linear 3 act story and broke down the initial points in a story in which the audience knows where the characters are and how they can tell if a film is almost over. We also dissected other different story methods such as the one in Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction and how that story was told. | 5 hours |
20 | 1/2/2016 | 3 hours | Today, Marc showed me how to begin the pre-production process. He described to me what a casting call was and how important they are in a project. He then assigned me a mini-project to create my own "fake casting call" on a website called sfcasting.com and use either a made up story or use one of my older, past projects. He wanted me to understand how to look for actors and what qualities I would need to look for when casting certain characters. It's all a part of looking into the deeper analysis of a character and know what I'd want as a director. | 8 hours |
21 | 1/3/2016 | 3 hours | We just worked on the mini-project again and went over it to analyze how well and how thorough descriptions should be to inform a potential group of interested actors/actresses. | 10 hours |
22 | 3/10/2016 | 4 hours | Marc and I deconstructed my most recent short film that I completed for my senior project and explained to me some of the narrative issues regarding it. We broke it down into commendations and recommendations into what I could imrpove on next time. We also went in depth to talk about relationships with different roles on set and how each role plays a certain part when working. We further discussed aspects of cinematography and Marc gave me a brillaint example of justifiable cinematography with the film Sicario. | 14 hours |
23 | 3/12/2016 | 13 hours | I went on set for one of Marc's recent projects and was able to shadow him in how he works on set. He was able to show me the different roles on a set and the significance of everyone's position. I learned different angles and some of the language that is used on set as well. | 27 hours |
24 | 4/9/2016 | 12 hours | I sat down with Marc in order to work on a editing project he had wanted me to do. We worked on it for a good amount of time while he showed me different editing styles and techniques used in the industry. He also provided me with industry advice regarding deadlines for projects and how to edit on the fly and pressure. We looked at different cuts and color grading in order to convey certain feelings as well. | 39 hours |
25 | 4/22/2016 | 4 hours | We worked on pre-production for my newest independent component project and discussed set organization and shot choices for convey certain emotions. We went over new camera settings and talked about the standard film shooting numbers for certain settings like ISO and shutter speed. | 43 hours |
26 | 5/1/2016 | 5 hours | Marc and I reviewed my completed independent component and went over the system of commendations and recommendations. Overall, he enjoyed it very much and stated how it was a very well-put entry level project that managed a good amount of cinematography aspects and editing styles. We then progressed to watch a recent project he did up in Berkeley a couple of weeks prior to our meeting. It was a really interesting film about a new society and a outlandish theme that was highly entertaining and emotionally driving. | 48 hours |
27 | 5/7/2016 | 4 hours | Marc and I met in order to review another recent project he was working on. We discussed the differences in set styles and the set-life for different prjects. We then talked about the actual necessity when it comes to how much a story is actually needed when watching a film compared to the cinematography and editing styles. | 52 HOURS |
28 | INDEPENDENT COMPONENT #1 HOURS | |||
29 | 11/7/2015 | 4 hours | Yuji and I met up for the first time in order to discuss potential story concepts with each other. We brought up a lot of different ideas, but ended up settling on a dramatic romantic concept. We both agreed that the film itself would be an experimental film that is part silent film, part musical. The story within the film will be told through strictly visuals (movement of characters and facial expressions) rather than that of normal dialogue. We agreed that by doing so we can put more focus on the actual dance aspect so the audience can truly appreciate the choreography. In addition, we started talking about chracters. We started making a list of what we felt would be good character qualities and the type of themes we wanted to convey throughout the story. We haven't decided a general message of the film yet, which is a very essential portion of the process itself. | 4 hours |
30 | 11/11/2015 | 3 hours | We met up again this time to start listing out our general plot points and make a general outline of what we feel our story should be like. We spitballed ideas back and forth on what we felt could be the most emotionally conveying story to tell and we decided that we would go with a simple one: a basic love story. With a general love story, we can focus on the aspects that make the emotion so good rather than that of the story itself, things like lighting, cinematography, and not to forget the actual choreography. We decided to make our message of the story "To Let Go." Without spoiling our plans or the plot, we felt this could be the most effective method to go, especially with the type of choreography Yuji was thinking about making. | 7 hours |
31 | 11/19/2015 | 2 hours | The two of us met in order to decided song choices. In order for us to propel out story forward, we needed the proper song choices. This was very crucial especially with the fact that the lyrics of the songd would pretty much be the only spoken dialogue throughout the duration of our film. We needed the songs to both be emotionally compelling in addition to containing the emotional elicitation we wanted. We searched on YouTube for a couple of hours bouncing song choices back and forth. We eventually decided that we were not going to use "mainstream" media songs in order to avoid easy recognition. We wanted the audience to be completely entailed to the idea of the suspension of disbelief and felt that by putting a familar tune, it would only deem it to be recognizable and pull them out of the experience. We ended up chosing three songs, of which Yuji was going to choreograph numbers to. We decided on "Let Me Love You" by Mario, A cover of "I Miss Her" performed by David So ft. Paul Kim, and Let It Go by James Bay. Each song choice was strategic in story and had a deliberate position in the story. | 13 hours |
32 | 11/21/2015 | 4 hours | Yuji helped me get started on the rough draft of our screenplay. Overall we were able to organize the events in the order we wanted and placed the character's development along the way. Overall the draft is still very rough and needs a lot of cleaning up still. | 17 hours |
33 | 11/22/2015 | 3 hours | I went along alone for the screenwriting process. Yuji and I had a general idea what we wanted and were on same page. We both understood what was going on so I went on to finish a bit more of it. I finished up 2 more scenes and was able to alter a past idea in order to fit with something more appealing regarding story and character motive. | 20 hours |
34 | 11/25/2015 | 2 hours | Again, I was screenwriting and began to clean the story up a little bit more. I was able to get a rough draft done so we could look over it and see what we could change about our initial plan if anything else was up with it. | 22 hours |
35 | 11/27/2015 | 1 hour | With a pretty solid shooting draft of the script I started marking it up, lsting the specific props we'd need and locations we would have to look for. | 23 hours |
36 | 12/12/2015 | 2 hours | Yuji and I went out to location scout for certain places we thought would be viable areas to film at, places with low public traffic and generally safe areas to film without be removed from the premises. We drove around areas of Chino, West Covina, and Pomona. | 25 hours |
37 | 12/20/2015 | 6 hours | With Yuji completed with his "I Miss Her" choreography, we decided to shoot those scenes first. I was able to adapt to the new styple of dance concept video cinematography which was very different from what I am normally used to. With dance concept cinematography, cameras run with longer takes in wider shots in order to capture the entirety of all the talent that is being portrayed on the screen. We drove out to my dad's apartment in Ontario to film at that location and complete Yuji's dance number there. In addition, we filmed two scenes at the location. During some of the scenes we had to completely reorganize the placement of the room and change the mise en scene in order to fit the ambience of the setting. We split the time at the location in actual filming time and cinematography mapping in relevenace the the space we had to work with. | 31 hours |
38 | 12/21/2015 | 8 hours | Day 2 of production started bright and early. We went to film the last couple of shots from the last couple of scenes that we couldn't finish at my dad's apartment due to the fact that we lost the sun. After finishing, we drove out to Pomona to shoot the park scenes where we needed our special tree that would take place as one of our settings. It was a full day of filming on location and we were able to get most of the scenes done as well as the shots we needed. The biggest problem we had was the lack of a power source so we needed to switch out camera batteries every once in a while and find a place to charge the camera batteries while shooting. | 39 hours |
39 | 12/23/2015 | 6 hours | I decided that it would be best to get a jumpstart on the editing process, especially with how much footage I already had. I was able to edit for 6 hours before getting tired and stopping for the day. I completed the "I Miss Her" dance number as well as all the shots we got for the montages. In addition, I was able to get the hang of the style in which dance numbers are edited in. | 45 hours |
40 | 1/14/2016 | 3 hours | I had my 3rd interview in Los Angeles so I decided while being there,that I would location scout for nice areas to film out while out there on that side. I visited Santa Monica Pier and found it to be really peaceful and solumn in one particular area. This location was the exact place that we were looking for to film one of our dance numbers so I took the area down and started making a list of other locations. I also scouted locations at The Grove and the LACMA (Los Angeles County Museum of Art). | 48 hours |
41 | 1/18/2016 | 13 hours | Today was a FULL day of shooting. The entire crew woke up and met really early in the morning in order to compensate for a full day of filming ahead and the morning traffic rush that we would probably see ahead of us. We packed all the equipment and made sure all was prepared in order for the most efficient and smooth day as possible. We arrived at Santa Monica with overcast skies which had to do with the time crunch we were on. We set up the equipment in one location and started filming a good amount of shots. It was a couple of hours later that a lifeguard came up to us and told us that we had to relocate on the beach because we were conflicting with his required space for duty. We respectfully obliged by th rules and repositioned the equipment a couple of yards away on a different spot on the beach. Once completed with the beach shots, it was to our misfortune that both batteries in the camera died on us so we had to explore LA looking for a coffee shop to charge the batteries. We decided to find one on the way to The Grove and LA Farmers' Market. We found a Starbucks that we debriefed in and recuperated from the fatigue at the beach. We then went on to shooting in the lower lit sunset hours at The Grove, eventually bringing us into the dark of night, to which we relocated again to LACMA to film a part at Urban Lights. Our initial plan was to head over to Griffith Park and the Hollywood sign, but were caught in traffic, missing our opportunity to go there altogether. Nonetheless, the full day of filming was very successful, resulting in nice locations and great shots. | 61 hours |
42 | 1/22/2016 | 9 hours | After getting home from school I edited well into the night. I was able to get a general rough cut of the footage I already had. The organization of shots and scenes were properly arranged as well as the length of certain shots having been determined. What needs to be done for those specific shots are color correcting and scoring as well as sound mixing. | 70 hours |
43 | 1/23/2016 | 6 hours | We completed our final rounds of pick-up shots and scenes that needed to be completed. We had to complete a couple of re-shoots so we had to return back to my dad's apartment in Ontario. In addition, we went to Yuji's house in Claremont to shoot our last couple of scenes with our actress, Paula Montano. | 76 hours |
44 | 1/30/2016 | 10 hours | With the deadline approaching, I decided to sit down through the hours and complete the last couple shots for the rough cut in order to get an estimated runtime. I was able to complete a rough cut of the entire film, so now it's all up to the final cut regarding, color, sound, and scoring. | 86 hours |
45 | 1/31/2016 | 3 hours | I started working on the final cut of the project and started placing the music in the places where it belongs and added fades and transitions. I also started coloring the certain scenes according to the emotion I felt would be the most beneficial when conveying the proper emotion. Currently, I believe that the product itself is coming together very nicely and am very proud of the way it looks. | 89 HOURS |
46 | INDEPENDENT COMPONENT #2 HOURS | |||
47 | 2/14/2016 | 5 hours | Today was the first day that Jacob Smith and I discussed some pre-production planning for our short film regarding different genre types ans shooting styles. We were able to come up with some ideas, and start planning some details regarding location scouting and concepts. In addition we discussed shot types and editing styles we wanted to portray within the piece in order to get the desired emotional response. | 5 hours |
48 | 3/5/2016 | 13 hours | Today we began filming for the short film that Jacob and I are working on. We filmed from very early in the morning all the way until the sun went down. We were able to shoot 65% of the entire project today, however were stopped by the sunset. We drove over to 2 locations and were almost pulled over by authorities and questioned because we were filming to the side of an empty highway. We looked very questionable due to the general nature of what looked like was going on and because of the general script idea. We filmed in a theater parking lot for a couple of hours in the morning until the afternoon when we regrouped at Jacob's house in order to plan accordingly for the fight scene in the evening. We choreographed to fight scene on location at the lookout point. We also, had to relocate our initial filming location a couple of times due to an abnormal amount of both foot traffic and auto traffic blocking the area. | 18 hours |
49 | 3/13/2016 | 6 hours | We ended up shooting for another 6 hours today potentially wrapping up our shoot. We finished our last couple of scenes, but depending on how it looks when editing, we may have to come back and shoot more pickup shots in order for it to be as smooth as possible. We filmed a lot with cars today, something I hadn't been able to do much of in the past. We used some new creative camera techniques in order to get the shot we wanted. | 24 hours |
50 | 3/15/2016 | 3 hours | Today I began filming on the Powderpuff documentary series I was putting together for the senior class. I wanted to explore this genre and see the types of shooting styles that is needed in order to portray a piece like this. Documentary shooting style and cinematography is much different from narrative storytelling and filmmaking. | 27 hours |
51 | 3/16/2016 | 3 hours | Again, I filmed with the senior Powderpuff team in order to get the girls' perspective of the game preparations. I wanted to really work on interviews today and get down the documentary style of filming in a wide frame. I wanted to get as realistic as possible to the actual emotions that were felt at practice. | 30 hours |
52 | 3/17/2016 | 4 hours | Today was a longer filming day since I was able to capture both the boys' dance team and the girls' football team. I worked on more interviews today during the practices and tried action shots of moving objects since the talent in front of screen were real subjects rather than simply just characters. | 34 hours |
53 | 3/21/2016 | 3 hours | The Powderpuff event day is getting closer and I'm planning on filming everyday this week. I switched off between perspectives today, so I went to record the boys' practice and dance routhine so far to monitor the progression of the piece itself. I got longer takes and was working on some time lapses today to get more open shots. | 37 hours |
54 | 3/22/2016 | 3 hours | Today was more Powderpuff filming to get the boys' perspective. As we get closer to the date, I've been planning on different shot types and new styles in order to capture the most of what's going on during the actual game on Friday. I've been conducting more interviews and have been able to capture a good amount of candid moments so far. | 40 hours |
55 | 3/23/2016 | 3 hours | Today I had the privilege of being able to film today with a GoPro camera in able to get more creative with shot types and angles. Being able to establish a foundation in documentary B-Roll, I wanted to be able to try new techniques and angles in order to get new cinematics of the shot type possible. We were able to learn more about the camera today and test it out for the first time. | 43 hours |
56 | 3/24/2016 | 4 hours | We filmed more today with the GoPro and got a couple of last minute interviews before game day. I wanted to capture the tensions and nerves that many were feeling the day before the game in order to replicate it on the screen for people to watch over again later. | 47 hours |
57 | 3/25/2016 | 8 hours | Today was game day and I came to school early with empty memory cards and 3 fully charged batteries in preparation for a full day. I came in to shoot player sign-ins for both the girls' football team and boys' dance team to get the most out of the Powderpuff experience. I filmed with green screens and prepped for the rest of the day. The actual game itself was shot with a mixture of action cameras to the side lines as well as GoPro footage of the dance team. | 55 hours |
58 | 4/2/2016 | 5 hours | Today was day 1 of editing the Powderpuff documentary series. I transferred footage today and organized clips into bins to be as organized as possible. In addition, I started editing the epsiode introductions and placing clips in a general order. | 60 hours |
59 | 4/3/2016 | 5 hours | Today I finished episode 1 of the series with the arrangement and text edits with inserted cues for special effects. I also started episode 2 that focused on the dance aspect of the Powderpuff process rather than just the football preparation. | 65 hours |
60 | 4/4/2016 | 4 hours | Today I completed episode 2 and uploaded. I began to work on episode 3 and was able to get a majority of it done since it's Spring Break. I was able to edit a good majority of the footage so far. | 69 hours |
61 | 4/7/2016 | 2 hours | Yuji and I met up today in order to film a dance concept video today. Although not as largely extensive as our lasat independent component, this dance video was simplistic and concise in order to focus more on the dance and cinematography rather than a narrative. | 71 HOURS |
