Vimeo Link: https://vimeo.com/296602254 Through this semester’s studio, I acquired a better understanding of the whole process of filmmaking in regard to how things are put together and I also got the chance to put my knowledge on lighting into practice. The group dynamics was very nice and chill, which absolutely made the process a whole lot easier. I like how we…

Color Grading
For the first edit, I simply brought the color temperature down to blue, giving it a cold tone, which I thought suited the general atmosphere of the video very well. For the second edit, I added vignette, giving it a more layered texture. It sort of contributes to a sense of this being someone’s nightmare. For this one, I tried…
Scene Analysis 2
In this blog post, I’ll be analyzing the opening scene of I Killed My Mother, written and directed by Xavier Dolan. The film starts with a quote by Guy de Maupassant “we love our mother unknowingly, and only realize how deep-rooted love is at the ultimate separation”. The quote goes against the name of the film, creating certain confusions, but will…
Week 8 Relfection
In this week’s studio we worked on camera movements. I experienced covering the same action from different angles and cut them at a comfortable pacing. I think for the camera to be in the same position and pan or tilt to follow the actions makes the coverage looks visually comforting. If it’s a hand-held tracking shot behind them, the stairs…
Week 7 Reflection
Edit 1 The first edit is simply the footage put together. I was trying to make it look like the paradox scene in Inception. The Penrose steps. But it turned out to be like someone trying to escape the endless stairwell, which still looks pretty cool. I was pretty impressed by how it turned out to be like because on the day…

Idea Development
22/08 I think my idea would be for the scene/sequence to be set in a futuristic world, it doesn’t really matter what kind of story it is. Here’s a scene that I wrote last semester, it is set in a futuristic dystopia. https://drive.google.com/file/d/10kBknzmSgpot3bC8ZsOMrtUO0V-xxHmq/view?usp=sharing And the two line script that I did a few weeks ago is also a sci-fi story. As…
Week 5 Reflection
It was great fun filming Go Fish. The only thing that could be improved upon is that we forgot to film as many shots from one angle. We moved the camera from one side to another to film the mid-shots of both and then moved the camera again to film the close-ups. It’s such an inefficient and time-consuming way to film…

Week 3 Reflection – Lenny’s Sound Edit
Before this exercise, I thought recording sound that syncs perfectly with the visuals could only be done in a foley room with the visuals playing on the screen. When I tried to sync the sounds to the visuals, Miraculously, they all fit quite well and there’s no awkward dislocations where the mouth is moving but there’s no sound or the…
