Filming The Interview Scene

The Interview Scene - This scene involved a flashback of the ferryman at his interview for his job. This interview takes place in a small cramped room that is very monochrome and dull, this was perfect for the scene as it created an atmosphere that is claustrophobic in nature and dull representing the corporate lack of personality. This scene had John Campbell and Cathal Tierney (who portray the Ferryman and the Interviewer respectively) conduct an awkward yet comedic interview and overall the filming and audio recording went extremely well. Audio was crisp and the shots were simple but effective. As the editor of the film, we captured too much footage for this scene and there was a lot of unnecessary footage that had to be left on the cutting room floor. The acting was good and the scene conveyed the atmosphere it should have.

Here are some of my favourite shots.

Recording Audio

Most of the audio in River was unusable, this was due to the immense wind speed on certain days. This meant that we had to go through each scene and record dubs of the lines spoken by each character. This process didn't take up too much time but it was tedious, we had written down each line that needed to be recorded and we asked our actors to say the line in time with the footage of the scenes. This recording session worked out really well as our actors delivered accurate responses that stayed true to the character's original intentions. We used a field recorder microphone on a tripod to capture the audio. We wrapped a tea towel around the mic to reduce any wind and background noise. Voices turned out to be clear and understandable. All that is left to do is to add these recordings back into the film.

Arrival Movie Poster Inspiration

To attract audiences to watch your film, many marketing practices are used to promote the film. To market our film, we are creating a poster that will show what the film will involve whilst also looking attractive and atmospheric. This is the poster for the film arrival. This film is about the arrival of aliens to earth and the process of asking the question "What is your purpose here?" The film is a Sci-Fi Thriller and I think this poster does a great job at representing the general atmosphere of the film. The poster takes place in the location that most of the film is set in. The imagery of the location shows the alien spaceship in the centre with a helicopter flying towards the spaceship. By using the "Z rule" we can see that the poster shows all of it's most important information and imagery in accordance to this rule. The actor's names appear at the top and this allows the viewer to see who is in the film first before they read the rest of the poste...
