Post production- transferring film

 Welcome back to MediaFix! After production we needed to begin editing. In order to do this I, the cinematographer had to transfer the film to our editor. Originally, this was being done through email, but was not working. After being informed by our instructor that we needed to use a proper transferring website, we found WeTransfer. Uploading and sending film through the website was much smoother after.

Filming the Michael Bay camera movement.

Welcome back to MediaFix! In one of my previous blogs I spoke about researching and learning camera movements for cinematic footage. Below is the footage I shot, practicing the shot, after learning the key steps.    Michael Bay shot, March 20, 2024, By MediaFix I shot this by first placing my character at a higher angle from the camera Then, I moved them in the opposite direction than I moved the camera, so the character was moving to the left while I was moving to the right. I used an fps of 25 but if I were to shoot this again I would move the camera faster to create a more energetic look, or raise the fps and slow down the shot in editing for a slow motion look. The angle I used was low but not low enough to create the effect I wanted to, so I would also tilt the camera higher and start lower in my next attempt.  By learning of the Michael Bay shot I can take our film to the next level cinematically wise, and, by practicing the shot I have learned what I should change ...

Learning to control exposure: camera settings

Image
 Welcome back to MediaFix! Understanding camera settings is essential when fixing overexposure. I needed to know how to use settings like ISO, shutter speed, and aperture during my last film. While I had a basic understanding, I did not fully know how to use them to my advantage in changing the look of a scene.  Multiple factors of settings play a role in controlling exposure in a shot. One I struggled with was understanding how to use was shutter speed. Shutter speed is the amount of light a camera takes in. Because of this, a slower shutter speed will have longer exposure, and faster will have shorter exposure. Applying this knowledge when trying to fix overexposure while filming is key. So if my shot is underexposed, I will need to lower the shutter speed to raise the brightness without using ISO. The opposite applies to overexposure, I would need to raise the shutter speed.  ISO is the International Organization of Standardization. This organization standardizes ...

Production day 3

Image
 Welcome back to MediaFix! Due to issues on the other two production days, most of our film would have to be filmed on our last day, production day 3. It was necessary every crew member would come and all materials were available. Upon arrival at our filming location, our actor and other crew members prepared for filming. There were not many challenges throughout filming this day except restricted time. Due to this challenge, we were not able to film all 30 shots. However, most shots were filmed and all necessary story telling shots were taken.  Still from taken shot, Nov 14 2023, by MediaFix
