5 min short film part deux-New respect-shooting and post production

As soon as we decide I'd have to play the "Tyler Perry" card and act as well as direct, we called up Sansei Schwartz for permission to do so, and I was basically told not to try too hard to be funny in my part, just let it come, since my character generally creates the comedy in this film.
As much as I did respect film makers, I have an even deeper respect due to having to experience the early mornings and late nights...its a wonder celebrities are on drugs...gotta stay awake.  There was a few creative differences within the group, but it all came together.
Post production along with typing the reflective paper coughandthisblogcough cost us yet another long night, and some laughs with others from the class who were in the lab.  Video may not be my favorite ever, but I'm proud of what we've accomplished, the effort was worth the outcome.

5 min short film part I-pre production

So  guess i can call this my first legit film production project. Writing the script, and everything pre-production, believe it or not, to me anyway, seemed to be the hardest part of the process. Nalisa, Katie and I went through about 9 different concepts, plots. and stories before, with the inspiration of our professor, came up with a working, time compatible story.
I actually began casting right as we were being assigned this project, texting people trying to see who is in town, who is available.  I started out getting in contact with actual theatre students, but somewhere in the conversation, i lost contact with the person, they just didnt reply. I managed to find the 3 actors we needed, but wound up dropping 2, because one had time conflict issues, the other had "a long night" and overslept. I wound up playing the part of the person who overslept...the "frisky" actor.

Lighting in the Spider-man 3 Bell tower scene.

From the moment this scene starts, before anyone even says anything, the audience knows that nothing good is going to come of the characters in the scene.  The tone is really emo like and gives you this since of darkness, evilness. The church is very dark lit with many shadows in the corners, theres was some dutch angle in this scene too, but thats another subject. Point is, the audience can feel in there chest something bad is going to happen.  In this Scene, character, Eddie Brock is depressed and angry because he has lost his job, and is asking God if he can kill Peter Parker, who ratted out Brock and got him fired....I dont think anything good comes of trying to get God to be your assassin.  By the end of this scene, the screaming Peter Parker rids of the symbiote on his body which jumps onto Eddie Brock as a result of Eddie's negative enery (which the symbiote is attracted to) and Perter's neglect of it. The last this the audience sees is the birth of Spider-man's ruthless arch nemesis, Venom.

Director Michael Bay

I use a lot of my movie experiences to go see a Action Blow up movie on the big screen to get the full potential of experience. Besides the big wide screen and surround sound, possibly even 3D, Michael Bay adds even more to the experience with his methods of shooting. He puts the cameras in the most dangerous spots so the audience feels what the characters do.  A lot of his action scenes are not shot still, also for the sake of the audience feeling the action.

If you look at this scene from the island, it almost appears as if those cars, and objects will hit you, you're being shot, and you can see the camera shaking from the action, it really gets your heart racing. --> The Island Chase Scene
