Production Blog: More Filming

On this filming day recorded 6 clips that corresponded with my storyboard: the girl pouring coffee in her mug, pouring milk into her cup, the zoom on the due date of the assignment, zoom on a clock, printing documents, and the shuffling of papers.

For the clip of the character pouring coffee, I envisioned to integrate framing into my composition. This gives off a sense of being "watched," as the 'frame' consists of a cracked open door, outlooking the girl. To film this scene, I prepared the props for the composition: the mug and coffee. Then, I place the mug onto the frame. I set up my camera and tripod onto a desk and behind the doorway of my kitchen. This was the final shot:

For the pouring-of-milk-on-the-mug clip, I set up my tripod and my camera in front of my kitchen island and made sure my coffee mug was in frame. I followed the rule-of-thirds composition and placed my mug along the left side of the line in the composition.

The zoom in on the due date of the assignment that the character is working was relatively easy to film. Since my school uses the website Canvas for all of our assignments, I used this website to zoom in on one of my assignments that has a due date of 11:59pm. For this scene, all I did was find an assignment with that due date, and I used my camera to zoom in on my computer screen. 

I then filmed the scene where the camera zooms on the clock. For this scene, I just put my clock onto a wooden stool in my living room. I set the time to 12:00 am. And then I just filmed my clock and zoomed in on it.
