This has somewhat delayed the production schedule but we should have it completed in the next few days. I've continued work on the storyboard and it's just about finished.]]> 2021-03-21 20:02:25 UTC https://padlet.com/172988/rxggt62kyc0q/wish/1335205494 172988 https://padlet.com/172988/rxggt62kyc0q/wish/1335208941 2021-03-21 20:04:25 UTC https://padlet.com/172988/rxggt62kyc0q/wish/1335208941 172988 https://padlet.com/172988/rxggt62kyc0q/wish/1335209731 Ryan is in the midst of the production schedule and I'm beginning the storyboard. It's coming along nicely although the art side of things is extremely rough. We've begun to narrow down our potential cast and I've printed the documents we need in order to get their consent as well as the location consent sheets for use when we can get them signed.]]> 2021-03-21 20:04:54 UTC https://padlet.com/172988/rxggt62kyc0q/wish/1335209731 172988 https://padlet.com/172988/rxggt62kyc0q/wish/1335213155 I started the Shot List and Ryan began the Production Schedule. We've also liaised with potential candidates for our cast and we're on our way to finalizing them. We have elected to use Ryan's house as one of our primary locations as we feel it'll fit our film well.]]> 2021-03-21 20:06:57 UTC https://padlet.com/172988/rxggt62kyc0q/wish/1335213155 172988 https://padlet.com/172988/rxggt62kyc0q/wish/1335216720 After much discussion, we elected to go with my Tommy Wiseau-inspired idea, although we definitely have to plan carefully around it. The core plot is solid enough to carry the film while we will add little homages to the clearly poor way that Wiseau's work has been created. That being said, we can't let it override the rest of the film and still strive to make our film cohesive and thought out as to not cause any overlap. We also can't rely too heavily on comedy and it's imperative we create a compelling yet funny narrative that is intended for the audience to suspend their disbelief in order to enjoy.]]> 2021-03-21 20:09:04 UTC https://padlet.com/172988/rxggt62kyc0q/wish/1335216720 172988 https://padlet.com/172988/rxggt62kyc0q/wish/1335225604 2021-03-21 20:14:12 UTC https://padlet.com/172988/rxggt62kyc0q/wish/1335225604 172988 https://padlet.com/172988/rxggt62kyc0q/wish/1335226023 Concept and Treatment have been finished to the point where I'm satisfied.

All in all I'm happy with the concept but I can definitely acknowledge that it'll be difficult both practically and creatively, and I need to strike a good and thoughtful balance between silly intentional mistakes and a genuine film in order to pull this off to an acceptable degree.]]> 2021-03-21 20:17:44 UTC https://padlet.com/172988/rxggt62kyc0q/wish/1335231787 172988 https://padlet.com/172988/rxggt62kyc0q/wish/1335234232 We saw the Black Hole and the Elevator. All in all, very well made films that sadly failed to inspire me as the ideas present in them don't align too well with my concept, which is still in the works.]]> 2021-03-21 20:19:11 UTC https://padlet.com/172988/rxggt62kyc0q/wish/1335234232 172988 https://padlet.com/172988/rxggt62kyc0q/wish/1335236297 We watched Teaspoon Full of Trouble, and I liked it. Some of the acting techniques they used could be valuable to my concept, which I have finalized as a The Room/Tommy Wiseau inspired satire. This is a difficult concept and I think that I will need to plan it out very carefully in order to actually pull it off.]]> 2021-03-21 20:20:27 UTC https://padlet.com/172988/rxggt62kyc0q/wish/1335236297 172988 https://padlet.com/172988/rxggt62kyc0q/wish/1335238953 We spent the entire lesson watching short films, and I idly began the very early stages of my Concept.]]> 2021-03-21 20:22:06 UTC https://padlet.com/172988/rxggt62kyc0q/wish/1335238953 172988 https://padlet.com/172988/rxggt62kyc0q/wish/1335240034 We've officially began working on this project and I have the early idea of maybe something light-hearted and satirical. It's too early to tell but I think I want to do something that pays homage to films such as The Room, but I don't know how feasible of an idea it truly is.]]> 2021-03-21 20:22:44 UTC https://padlet.com/172988/rxggt62kyc0q/wish/1335240034 172988 https://padlet.com/172988/rxggt62kyc0q/wish/1335242707 2021-03-21 20:24:20 UTC https://padlet.com/172988/rxggt62kyc0q/wish/1335242707 172988 https://padlet.com/172988/rxggt62kyc0q/wish/1335490857 Updated Concepts and Treatment.

These were to test us on our knowledge and capability regarding filming different angles, distances and orientations. ]]> 2021-04-15 22:29:36 UTC https://padlet.com/172988/rxggt62kyc0q/wish/1423314852 172988 https://padlet.com/172988/rxggt62kyc0q/wish/1423316409 Pre-production is done. I have printed copies of our storyboard, script, shot list and production schedule. Ryan also made minor adjustments to our production schedule, mostly regarding our cutoff dates and more detail in our editing process. Ryan also brought back a signed equipment release form, enabling us to film over the holidays. Our equipment includes a DSLR camera, lens, tripod and Rode Microphone.]]> 2021-04-15 22:30:32 UTC https://padlet.com/172988/rxggt62kyc0q/wish/1423316409 172988 https://padlet.com/172988/rxggt62kyc0q/wish/1423328815 2021-04-15 22:37:59 UTC https://padlet.com/172988/rxggt62kyc0q/wish/1423328815 172988 https://padlet.com/172988/rxggt62kyc0q/wish/1487681147 We Filmed everything. In lieu of anyone available to perform the part of the wife, I played the part. We collaborated with Jack, Andre, Leon and Reuben in order to film the rest of our scenes in Hillcrest and at Ryan's house. We accomplished all of our scenes and made a few creative changes, most of which were addressed and amended in the storyboard]]> 2021-05-04 00:34:05 UTC https://padlet.com/172988/rxggt62kyc0q/wish/1487681147 172988 https://padlet.com/172988/rxggt62kyc0q/wish/1487688754 2021-05-04 00:37:20 UTC https://padlet.com/172988/rxggt62kyc0q/wish/1487688754 172988 https://padlet.com/172988/rxggt62kyc0q/wish/1566661464 I began the editing process, roughly compiling the clips into a timeline and marking shots for finer editing and reshoots. We marked the scenes with Jack and Reuben entirely for reshoots, due to the poor framing, audio quality and lighting. We also marked some scenes of Jack walking because he exits the frame at times and in general it's filmed poorly.]]> 2021-05-27 21:02:32 UTC https://padlet.com/172988/rxggt62kyc0q/wish/1566661464 172988 https://padlet.com/172988/rxggt62kyc0q/wish/1566670870 I continued collating all the footage and applied some finer effects to some of the indoors scenes to keep the lighting somewhat more consistent and believable. We noticed a few problems with Jack's hair not blending correctly and I noted this down as a persistent problem.]]> 2021-05-27 21:07:09 UTC https://padlet.com/172988/rxggt62kyc0q/wish/1566670870 172988 https://padlet.com/172988/rxggt62kyc0q/wish/1566674235 Continued editing the lighting and such, pretty much just trying to edit saturation values in the "sad" scenes and keep Jack's hair in keeping with the rest of the lighting key.]]> 2021-05-27 21:08:58 UTC https://padlet.com/172988/rxggt62kyc0q/wish/1566674235 172988 https://padlet.com/172988/rxggt62kyc0q/wish/1566676647 We finally got the equipment to perform our reshoots. We shot the scenes we mentioned earlier and some extra footage of me, the wife, that would be overlaid with the "sad montage" as we've decided to call it. It took us just one lunchtime to film everything and we're happy with the results.]]> 2021-05-27 21:10:19 UTC https://padlet.com/172988/rxggt62kyc0q/wish/1566676647 172988 https://padlet.com/172988/rxggt62kyc0q/wish/1566681361 As a result of the reshoots, I was able to compile a very early rough cut. Everything was ordered properly and edited very lightly in order to create a somewhat cohesive film. There is still a lot of work to be done and we still need to discuss with the teacher, but I'm happy with our progress.]]> 2021-05-27 21:12:56 UTC https://padlet.com/172988/rxggt62kyc0q/wish/1566681361 172988 https://padlet.com/172988/rxggt62kyc0q/wish/1566684176 After being away for a while, it's all day editing. The teacher came back to me with notes of things to touch up and re-edit, as well as the suggestion we go out and film some B-roll footage in order to pad out our film and really sell the "dramatic" aspect. I continue to edit the film and apply what the notes are asking we do.

I began by fixing the various audio problems and cutting out the few static starts that appeared throughout the film. After this, I inserted and animated a credits sequence as well as finally coming up with a name for the film; "My Wife". I then inserted a title card into the scene of Jack waking up in order to create a sense of the first 40 seconds being more of an intro and also to give the audience an idea of the name and main plot point in the film, albeit kind of subtly. We have employed Leon and Taye in order to assist us with filming extra B-roll footage for the sadtage.

I actually needed to go back myself and film even more because Ryan didn't film it exactly well, but that took only 10 minutes and I then spliced them into the sad bits in order to create a more mounting sense of over dramaticism.

All in all, the film has progressed substantially and we're close to being done.]]> 2021-05-27 21:14:26 UTC https://padlet.com/172988/rxggt62kyc0q/wish/1566684176 172988 https://padlet.com/172988/rxggt62kyc0q/wish/1606334577 The film is complete, as far as I am concerned. We have exported it properly and to a high quality, and I have uploaded it to Youtube for a super last-ditch archive, just in case. I have updated the backup files and Ryan started work on the Final Storyboard]]> 2021-06-15 01:00:40 UTC https://padlet.com/172988/rxggt62kyc0q/wish/1606334577 172988 https://padlet.com/172988/rxggt62kyc0q/wish/1606337084 I have been away for ages, but the final storyboard is done, according to Ryan and I need to redo my Concept and Treatment documents in order to better fit the final product. I am not doing this today, but I have the notes written down for what I should want to change. I expect to have this done within a week, easily. Well, provided the teacher agrees]]> 2021-06-15 01:02:00 UTC https://padlet.com/172988/rxggt62kyc0q/wish/1606337084 172988 https://padlet.com/172988/rxggt62kyc0q/wish/1606340432 2021-06-15 01:03:37 UTC https://padlet.com/172988/rxggt62kyc0q/wish/1606340432 172988 https://padlet.com/172988/rxggt62kyc0q/wish/1636459832 Ok, so slightly late.
