Shooting of Main Task

Hi, everyone. I can finally say that I've finished the shooting of my main task so only editing is left. I haven't finished with editing yet but I soon will. There are about 60 of different footages and you have to choose the perfect one. I hope that this week I will finish and upload it firstly to Blogger and then on to YouTube.

The shooting started on Thursday afternoon and it was extremely hot outside. Both me and actors were wearing the blazers and we thought that we would soon be fried. We firstly filmed the last scene in which main character receives the suitcase from the stranger. The one scene was filmed in many different shots.

After that we switched to the bench scene which is the first scene of a film. Again, many different shots of one scene. Also we could finally be comfortable wearing blazers because it was filmed inside.

The hardest scene was in the cafe because firstly it was even hotter than outside but because in the scene the characters didn't have to wear blazers we could take them off. Secondly the actors didn't always act as I wanted. I allowed them to improvise a bit but I also tried to explain to them how they should act. It took some time to get the right acting. We also had to do everything a bit fast because one of our actors was leaving soon but fortunately we succeeded.

On Friday we made mostly close ups of props like knife inside suitcase, card, messages on a phone. The main actor said that we wouldn't come but we didn't need him on that day. After finishing the shooting my Media teacher recommended me to go to Upbeat or Jamendo to download free music for my film.

So having everything I need I can finally switch to editing

The anime manga and film both had a massive impact on the development of cyberpunk, neonoir, science fiction, thriller etc. Even Wachowski brothers said that ''Ghost in the Shell'' had a huge influence on creating ''Matrix''. The scene contains the process of making the ''Ghost in the shell''-the robot for special tasks. The beginning of the scene is mostly filled with close up shots of certain body parts to make the audience know how robots are made. Sometimes a camera does tilt movement to show the whole body of robot. During the extract the titles with green numbers are seen which again approves that it had an impact on ''Matrix''.
