Music Search

I think I’ve found the song I want to use. I’ve been struggling to find something I really like because I heard Susan’s piano piece she did and absolutely loved how it sounded – but obviously I couldn’t use it since she was. But the search continued, the hardest part was finding non copyrighted music,…

Scene 1

So I’ve begun to compile my first scene. I tried to start in AFX but then I realised that I might as well do it all in Resolve so i deleted the afx file and opened up resolve and tried to begin. The problem was I didn’t know where it was saving to so I…

Timelapse

I took a timelapse of Ryan in my room ‘wasting’ time. I took the time lapse on my moms phone (Iphone 11 plus) and used the fish eye lens (0.5 zoom) to get a bigger view of the room but looking at it now, the quality doesn’t look too good 😦 Ive also taken 2…

Shoot (Day 1)

Whoop whoop! I’ve recorded my scene 1. It’s taken 3 hours to film this 35 second piece . I’m super happy with how it’s looking. I started off recording normally, with no makeup or contact lenses and after numerous takes I finally managed to get my voice in sync woth my audio recording from before….

Scene setup & testing

So today I’ve been setting up my Presidency scene and Yoh it took a lot longer than I thought it would. You can see in the first 3 photos where I wanted my film to be shot, but this didn’t work out so I had to rearrange my parents room so I could shoot against…

Lighting

My lights didn’t come with the cords and the cords didn’t come connect with plugs so I had to connect all of them. Good thing my wiring skills are good 😎. I managed to sort them out and they both working well, I’m keen to see them ‘on set’ , hopefully they not too bright

Title Design

I decided on the name – “The Never End” which is a play on my original title – the never ending lockdown / never ending pandemic. I think this title is a lot more sophisticated and open ended. I wanted the title to be mature as well, I didnt want to over complicate it either…

Supplies

I went out this morning and bought a couple of things for my film. I got some black contact lenses, 2 lights (plus the wires and plugs cause they didn’t come with the light… ) and then a South African flag. I also made a tripod for my phone. I had a tripod for my…

Scene Timing

I’ve tried to plan out the timing for all my scenes better and more accurately and I’ve realised my film is going to be too long. 3 minutes (or 180s is not a lot of time to tell the story I am wanting). Trying to create the illusion of days passing and time flying by…

Search for Apps

I’ve been searching for the best apps to download that’ll help me with my film project. I’ve decided it’s best if I use my phone as the quality is good and I’ll handle it much easier. I think I’m going to download Film Pro but I’m going to keep watching tutorials to see which one…
