Challenges In filming

 Challenges in filming

 Now that we’ve started filming, we’ve already ran into a few challenges that we’ve had to work around. One of the biggest problems has been finding a quiet place to shoot, since the school is almost always loud and crowded during the day. A lot of our scenes take place in hallways and bathrooms, so we kept getting interrupted by people walking through or talking in the background. To fix this, we decided to film after school or during study hall when things calm down, which has helped us get cleaner audio and fewer distractions. Another challenge has been getting the angles we want, especially wide shots, because the bathroom is such a tight space. Our camera person has been taking behind‑the‑scenes pictures while we try different tripod spots and adjust our setup to make the space work. Scheduling has also been tough since everyone has clubs, sports, or other after‑school stuff, so finding time when we’re all free hasn’t been easy. We made a shared schedule and picked days that work for everyone so we can stay consistent. Even with these challenges, everyone is handling their responsibilities with lighting, sound, and camera work, and we’re staying organized and working together to keep the project moving forward.

Camera Movements

In this blog, I will be exploring different camera movements, showing how each one can change the way we see a scene. I’ll explain what each shot does, how it affects the audience, and why it’s used in filming Tilt: The shot begins at the student’s feet and tilts upward, capturing her hands as she struggles to choose a book. By leaving her face out of frame, the tilt emphasizes her hesitation through gesture and movement rather than expression. Depending on the pace, the shot can serve different purposes. At normal speed, it presents an ordinary moment, while in slow motion, it builds suspense and highlights the difficulty of her choice. Steadicam: This Steadicam shot captures two friends studying in the library. As they continue their work while talking with others around them, the shot creates a natural and realistic atmosphere. Its purpose is to give the audience a glimpse of everyday student life, showing the characters in a familiar and authentic setting. Dolly shot:  This d...

Preliminary Exercise

 Two friends mourning together in silence                                              This photo shows two friends sitting close together, sharing a quiet moment of grief. Even without words, you can feel the support between them through their body language and how they lean toward each other. The black‑and‑white filter adds to the mood, making the scene feel heavier and more focused on their emotions instead of the background. The eye‑level angle keeps everything honest and simple, almost like you’re witnessing the moment in real time. How this could've been improved?  A softer light source could’ve made the emotion stand out even more Commentary on decisions I made during shooting: I moved in close, so their hands and faces were the main focus, since that’s where the emotion really shows. I kept the framing simple and didn’t try to over stage anything. The bla...
