30sec Self Directed Film - Film Study

Hi everyone! Welcome to another post. Recently for film study, we were, appointed with a task where we had to create a film. There were some requirements for making this film. The final product should be no longer than 35 secs, no shorter than 30 secs, any music used has to be free, the film has to include multiple camera shots/angles and the finished product should have an understandable plot.

Process:
We first had to choose what our film is going to be about. We chose to do a horror film where a group member would retrieve a kicked ball from a bush. After choosing our topic, we then had to create a storyboard showing our plan for our film. After that, we then recorded our film and afterwards, we then finished filming and started editing our video.


Reflection Questions
1. What was your film about?
Our film was about someone retrieving a ball in a bush. 

2. Something I enjoyed in making my film...?
I enjoyed filming in the bushes and creating a creepy atmosphere in the film.

3. Something I learned when making my film...?
I learned how to put multiple videos down together and put music together to create a film.

4. Some film techniques I included were...?
Close up, Low Angle, Point of View, Medium Long shot and Over the Shoulder.

5. Something I found challenging was...?
I found it challenging to edit the video because it was hard to time the video. 

6. What I would differently next time:
Next time I would include more interesting music and show more of the theme in the film.

  2. Hi Lyan. Thank you for sharing this blog post. I really enjoyed watching your short film and thought the sound effects and background music was great. What are some of the names of the different shots that you used?
