Production Of My Film Project- Part 1



 I've finally begun the production phase of my project. So, to make sure all of my actors have memorised their scripts, I've organised a rehearsal day. However, before the rehearsal day, all of my actors had a read-through where all of us would sit around the table and slowly read through it to make sure that everyone understood what their role in the movie is. After that, the final rehearsal day came where all of us tried and acted the script out. 

In this blog, I'll be leading you through the whole production process that I went through to finally achieve and film the final product.


1. COSTUME DESIGN

I've designed and prepared all of the costumes for my actors a week before filming, to make sure they can try them out on rehearsal day. If I would film a longer movie, the role I would be in is a Costume Designer. But, since I haven't designed and made any of the costumes by hand, I can consider myself a makeup and costume director.

Below are the costumes for each one of my characters.

Tom Booth

-For this character, I choose a plain white buttoned-down shirt and plain black pants. Since, this character is a detective, being formally dressed was a win for me.

- For character makeup, I added a little bit of red colour under his eyes, for him to look more tired

Harry Armstrong

-This character is a prosperous writer, so choosing a sweater and a shirt underneath made him look relaxed, and not that seriously dressed. Which in the end indicates to a viewer that this character is not stodgy, but easy going.

- I didn’t use any makeup on this character

Zara Macray

-Zara is a meaningful character with grandiosity and charm. So, choosing olive green pants and a tight black blouse shows the character's supremacy and matches her personality.

- I’ve used brown/black tones for Zara's makeup because this again establishes the character's superiority and formality

Production Of My Film Project- Part 2

 2. PROPS Props were crucial in every scene of the movie. All the way from drinks to the smallest details, like candles on the bar table. In this post,  I'll lead you through my prop list and set design that in this case includes lighting and colour combinations. For two of my characters, Zara and Tom, smoking was important, because that complemented Zara's and Tom's characters. None of the actors are smokers in real life, so I decided to make 'fake cigarettes' based on actors' needs. I filled cigarette filters with dried parsley that is more or less healthy and has the same burning effect as real cigarettes. Here's the video tutorial that I've followed:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFyN43HEC4s&t=45s The drinks that each of my characters drank were fake. For example, the beer, that Harry drank, was apple juice that was in a beer bottle. This made the character look reckless and manly. Zara drank Gin tonic, which was mineral water with ice in it. ...

The Social Dilemma- Case Study

It comes as no secret that technology has changed our lives. It hasn't only made communication easier, it has also influenced society with a variety of streaming apps, dating services and sharing abilities. But, under one condition, as long as we stay connected they are going to provide whatever we want while browsing. But, what if I were to tell you that technology can possibly predict our personalities, and essentially know us better than your family and friends do. This is fascinating and terrifying at the same time. In the advancing world of technology that stores enormous amounts of data for each user, so apps like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and other big companies can collect information about you through things that you browsed or what you've liked for the past few weeks.  The people have started to wake up with terror after watching the new Netflix's documentary, 'The Social Dilemma'. After watching this film, it felt quite scary opening your phone to brow...
