Filming The Limbo and the End

In one day we managed to film the scene with the limbo character scene, the message scene and most of the ending scene in one day. The weather for this day was great and provided us with very nice looking and consistent shots. The wind speed was high causing a lot of audio to become unusable even though we tried to prevent it as much as possible. I had to act in the Limbo scene and in the message scene. I was the Limbo (a hobo of the afterlife) and I tried to act as unnatural as possible, I recorded audio of myself making weird noises. Being the Limbo was a very fun experience as it was a very unusual, I also couldn't see very well as there was a mask covering my face. The second character I played was Kevin's "friend" who died before him, he leaves an emotional message that makes Kevin really upset. This character was more emotionally demanding while I was acting, I tried to make myself upset in order to create a realistic emotion. I went off script and improved the speech I was supposed to give as it felt more natural than reading off of the script.

We did forget the tripod for the last shot of the film so we have to do that on another day. Overall I was very happy with the performance of everyone on this day and there is not much left of the film to shoot.

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

Image
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...
