Media Portfolio Blog #18

In today's blog post I will be discussing some last minute prep before the big filming day tomorrow. I have finally gathered all of the props that we need in order to film, and contacted my actor to ensure that he will be able to make it to tomorrows filming session. We are going to film the initial scene of him getting out of the car, taking out his stuff, walking to the bench picking up his headphones, putting them on, and then him stretching. After that we will film him hitting the punching bag, and jumping rope. We need a spray bottle as we will be showing him sweating while he hits the bag, we will also show him using the gloves as he hits the bag. Another scene will be a long shot of him jumping rope. We also plan on  using some POV angle shots through the use of a go pro which we will either strap to his chest or his head. I also included a picture of the camera that we are going to use as well as the tripod, and mono-pod to stabilize the camera for the shots that we need to look extra professional. For the other scenes we are going to use the hand-held camera technique to create a sense of realism, and show the chaotic nature of a fighters training. I also plan on hanging a black tarp behind my boxing bag, for the scene in which Aizen is hitting the bag. This combined with the different lamps, and flashlights that we plan on using should make the scene look professional, while also creating a gym like environment. Moreover, for the filming of the running scene, I am going to have one continuous clip of our fighter running: as he starts slow and gains speed as he runs further. After we have filmed this, I am then going to cut the clip into different parts, and start the scene off with him running slowly, and then as the film progresses he will start getting faster, and faster. By doing this we will hopefully be able to show the audience how he has progressed throughout time, and how his training has improves his physicality, strength, and overall successfulness.We plan on doing most of the filming tomorrow, and whatever else is left we will complete the following day.
