Film...

For this week, I continued to work with my partner Jeanette. We are working on post production sound. We finished all the foley sounds that were needed. We imported them all into the computer. Also we did some ADR that was needed of a voice over on wednesday. More adr'ing was needed, so we planned to do this today. However the actors did not show up, so maybe we need to work on the communication! Jeantte and I also found the music we were going to use and some other sounds we were going to use. I attended shooting this past wednesday and helped with sound. We will begin to edit the sound in as soon as our editor finishes her work. We hope to get started no later then tuesday! I know Jeanette & I will get our work done and it will turn out great.

Film Journal

Jeanette is my partner for post sound production. This week me and Jeanette have been working on a short film where we needed to input sound into it. We used the sound box to record dialogue to put into our film. Then we edited the dialouge so that the words fit into the film. Jeanette and I also had to put in hitting sounds and all the basic background noises. We did this as practice for our real film that we need to put sound into. Some things that really worked was planning everything out. At the same time we also had to be helping out with our Head Games film. I attended shooting on tuesday and took an actor for one of the parts. There was shooting wednesday but due to some miscommunication I was not aware if there was shooting or not. I think that is something that did not work during this week, but everyone is now aware of when and where shootings are. There will be shooting this weekend and I will try my best to attend. Although the main priority for me and Jeanette is post production, it is learned that attending shooting days is important because they might need extras or just to PA. The producer may need help with certain things and we will be able to help. Through the many experiences we learn new things and this just helps us learn and get better.

Working on a Film Noir...

For the past weeks I have been working on a Film Noir with my partner, Erika. It has been a learning experience. It is definitly different to work with a partner then to work alone on a story. I have learned that  when working with another person you have to combine ideas to create a whole new great story. We have even done groups of four as practice and with every person that is added to the group, things get harder and simpler at the same time. Things get harder because of the different viewing of the person and simplier because now there are more people to put in effort to the project. When working in pairs or in groups not eveyone may agree with your own ideas and some might even have different viewings. It is all about combing ideas and learning to work together. It is needed that every person puts in the same amount of hard work to a project. It is not fair if someone puts in more work then someone else. Me and Erika have done a good job with combining our different viewings and created a whole new project. Although I do believe have to work on our script writing as it is not "Lemos Perfect". I know that with more practice we will get to a good stage of writing. I have really enjoyed working on this project, although me and Erika may not be the best in the class we really have been trying our best for this project. Or atleast I think we have
