Day 2 Filming

Today, I completed my second day of filming.  Unfortunately, I couldn't film as much as I thought I would and only ended up filming 2 shots. 

I also began arranging my clips chronologically on iMovie, so I don't forget the order.

I used the tripod I mentioned in the Day 1 blog to record all these clips with my phone. During filming, I thought for a second about changing the LED light color to white because it's much brighter than blue, and some of my shots were too dark. However, white is a color of safety and purity, and that isn't what the movie opening is about, so I decided to keep the blue but increase the brightness.

      

Another thing I decided to change was the part of the first scene where the glitches slowly get worse.  I thought it was too much of a cliché, so I changed it so the monitor screen goes black out of nowhere, showing the message.

While trying to figure out a way to record the clips faster and more efficiently, I found a feature on my phone that will be very useful. When recording a video, you can pause the recording, change location, and hit the pause button again. When you are done recording, the video will save both recordings as one, with a clean cut in between. This will help me film scenes with several short shots in a row.

Funny moment: I had to wear the same hoodie again for continuity, but it was kinda… gross. My aunt (who knows social media because of her job) joked that at least videos haven’t advanced to the point where people can smell through the screen. So,  I’m good, right?
