Filming the Party Scene

Today, In class we filmed the beginning of our opening scene for our film called "One By One". The first scene involves a party scene which you can see on our shot list what the basics of whats happening in the scene.  As we were filming in our media classroom we wanted to create the atmosphere that we were having a party, by using props that we purchased for our film to make the scene as realistic as possible.  

 We ordered strobe lights from amazon which really enhance the atmosphere of the party scene, which we sectioned off part of the classroom and placed the strobe lights around the section, by having the small section it create more of an illusion that it was a party instead of being the whole of classroom and looking empty.  The lighting enabled us to create a realistic experience of a party. The photo beside shows the putting up the strobe lights. 

We also to again create the impression of a party scene, we included more props such as wine bottles and glasses which created the illusion of a party. As there is only three us in the group, to make it more realistic we used other people from our media class to join to which added empathizes to make it seem that there were lots of people, which is why we sectioned part of the classroom which helped maintain the impression of there being lots of people. 

We used a background from the internet and projected it onto the screen which created again more emphasis of more people at the party. 

For Filming, we used a canon 750D, which we used a tripod for different shots to provide stability and to enable a still focus for certain shots, however we also used different shots for other parts of the scene, such as point of view angle of the character, wide shot angle to portray the party and close up shot of the character to show the reaction shot of to what was happening in the scene.      

                                                                               The sound which will use for our party scene will be edited into by using sound effects and music which will be more effective and much clearer.       

Overall, the party scene was a successful and creating the atmosphere was done well due to our props and the way we captured the scenes, by using specific shot types to enabled realistic party scene
