Beginning To Film (Post 2)

We began filming with the green screen. It was confusing at first because we did not know how to transfer our video from our phone and upload it to Premiere Pro editing software but with the help of our teacher we figured it out. Then once we watched the video with the green screen background we realized that the lighting played a key role in the visibility of the background on the green screen. We had to refilm our original clip because our positioning impacted the quality of the background due to lighting issues. Much of this week was trial and error. We decided we liked using the green screen for the office scenes because it does help add a better sense of setting so we will continue to fine-tune our placement and editing skills.

 We were able to practice with different shots and techniques to display emotion during the practice filming of our interrogation scene. Zoe, the suspect, was filmed with an extreme close up on her eyes darting back and forth to display nervousness.
We also worked on the creation of the crime scene. This was fun because we had to think of a location that did not look like a school, so we filmed in the garden behind our school so the location is ambiguous. We did a variety of different clips, shots, and angles, to portray our knowledge of filming throughout our scenes.

Creative Critical Reflection (CCR)

Click HERE to view my CCR Law and Disorder was designed, produced, and edited by Madison Craumer and Astrid Nova. The CCR posted to this channel is made and voiced in its entirety by Madison Craumer and is my personal response to what I thought of the film making process. In no way does it copy Astrid's CCR and it is of my original thought and opinion that this reflection was based. Here is my script for the CCR: Questions: 1.How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues? In terms of story conventions, mystery detective films are often characterized by: films that focus on the unsolved crime (usually the murder or disappearance of one or more of the characters, or a theft), and on the central character, which is a strong, confident, detective-hero, as she meets various adventures and challenges in the cold and methodical pursuit of the criminal or the solution to the crime. The plot often centers on the deductive ability, p...

Evaluating Peer Reviews

Peer Reviews: What I liked What confused me Suggestions The music fit the scenes very well I liked how using the green screen you made it seem like an actual office The close up of Zoe's eyes moving back and forth after being interrogated made me laugh and helped viewers to understand that she is nervous No There was nothing that stood out to me as confusing or in need of change I loved the editing and the backdrop of the opening. I loved the music they chose to have in the background. I felt that the music really gave the opening that investigative and mysterious feel. I loved the title because it sounds ironic and it adds some humor to the otherwise serious feel of the opening. I was confused who "Santos" was, but I am sure it is something that would be explained in the movie. I have no suggestions. I thought the opening was edited really well, the plot appeared to be fluent, and the...
