1 minute film challenge

1 minute film challenge


This film consists of 3 people, me,nana,micky and eye. I was the cameraman and nana was the director and eye was the main actoress. We choose to replicate a movie scene from Annabelle. The reason we choose to do this because the movie plot was interesting and there are a lot of micro element we can play with such as sound which creates a sensation of fear. 

We face some problems while filming such as there were no dark room in the 6th form center and it was hard to create a scary feeling in the film. Also the in the trailer it was taken at house and public places which was hard for us to recreate the scene since the only place we have was the school. Also some we need to create our own sound effect since there was only bad sound effect on the internet such as rusty door noise and creepy doll noise. Another problem we encounter is we didn't know how to use the premier program since i use iMovie all along and didnt know how the new program work. It delayed us during the editing for almost an hour. we manage to fix this by doing some research and asking our teacher for help

When we start filming we apply the camera rules to the film such as closeup,180 degree view, and angle shot. We use 180 degree view when eye and Micky was having a conversation and angle shot when eye was dragged by the ghost which create confusion and stress to the viewer. Also we didn't use any stabilizer which would cause a unstable scene which would create a sense of danger and confusion to the viewer.

In conclusion, i find this piece of work very fun and I would like to work in teams again because the work can be spread evenly along the people in the group and with more people, more ideas can be made which would make the film better quality for the viewers. Also working in teams helps by providing equipment such as cameras and microphones. I was the one with the camera and the microphones while Nana was the editor and Eye and Micky was the actor in the film.
