Final Task: Dimensions

Image
 Below is my final task, the opening to my film “Dimensions”. This has been a lot of fun to work with, from the very beginning stages of writing the script, all the way to the editing. I feel that doing this project has given me a good understanding of what it’s like to make a film in the film industry. In total, I feel that I now understand the basic understanding of what it’s like to make a film. In other words, I have learned a lot of skills while making my film, and plan to use these skills on future projects.

Production blog: Costumes

Image
  When gathering the costumes that I was preparing fro my film I ran into a few issues that I hadn’t originally taken into account. I originally planned to have the following: a casual look with pants and short-sleeve, a fancy suit, and pajamas. Seeing as I’m working alone on the project, I will be the only one wearing these costumes. My story is supposed to begin with my character preparing for his birthday the night before. At this point, he is wearing his casual clothes, and he is preparing his suit to wear in the morning.

The costumes that I planned to wear didn’t have to change once I began filming, since all my scenes would be filmed indoors. This also meant that none of my locations had to change either. As I stated before, I already planed on filming indoors, so I didn’t have to improvise much on set. I did however, change some parts that were from my storyboard. For example, I added a scene of my story’s protagonist staring at a colander with a specific date on it. Later on in the film, when the character enters another dimension, he finds that Sam Clarence rebut now it says a different date, even though it was the same day. This is meant to be a visual clue for the audience. Other than that, I didn’t end up changing much. I would go on to film my scenes in an order based on locations. By doing this, I didn’t have to waste any time and go back and forth between locations. I would film specific scenes wh...
