Influences when Recording

Hello and welcome, my fellow Blogger entry readers! Welcome to my 30th Blogger entry post. Today I will be discussing influences I used when recording individual shots, and I will provide an example as a side-by-side comparison.

This weekend I was granted the opportunity to meet up with my group members and shoot some scenes within the film opening. We didn't complete all of the scenes for the opening, but we had a successful recording. Instead of meeting up at the park, we all agreed to meet up at my house instead because it was more manageable and accessible. It took us a while to record because there were minor technological errors, and it took time to learn the script's lines. 

When we were recording my group member Leea's scene, we compared her news reporter scene to a video of a news Reporter speaking. 

At first, Leea was slightly camera shy and nervous why recording because it was a little difficult for her to memorize her lines and stay in character. Our first couple of recordings we had to delete because her nervousness interfered with her overall character. Therefore, I provided an example to display her character's influence and positioning. The video was a news reporter reporting the first coronavirus case within the United States. After I showed her a news reporter's video, she did have more confidence in her character and acting. 

This influence helped Leea grasp a better reality of news reports, and it helped her character development overall. Not only did the comparison help Leea, but it helped my other group member as well, so we all have a better apprehension of the film opening's primary target and tone. We will have to edit most of the scenes together, but I believe that we had a successful recording session for our two-minute film opening.
