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

Representation of Gender in Noir

https://www.slideshare.net/AndriiAzarchenko/representation-of-gender-in-noir Here I'll try to explain the certain looking of two genders of main characters in noir films. I think in the future I'll use more slides when I have the similar topic but I decided that 5 slides is enough.

Cinemascope

Cinemascope is an anamorphic process that compresses an image during filming and uncompresses it when projected. The process involves squeezing a wide image onto 35mm film so that it fits the physical celluloid's square frame. With the help of anamorphic projection lenses, this image is then unsqueezed, allowing for the full width of the image to be displayed. In the early days of cinema, French inventor Henri Chretien created and patented an anamorphic lens that could be used for motion pictures. However, back in the 1920's and 1930's, no one was really interested. That all changed in early 1950's, when motive studios were losing their audience to the rise of television. It was convenient, could be enjoyed at home and provided the same entertainment value as movies. However, in 1952, ''This Is Cinerama'', which displayed a widescreen image with three cameras and three projectors was becoming a smash hit across the country, albeit in limited theatres. ...
