Production Blog: Scenery

The gloomy and unsettling environment close to Nick's home was ideal for our video project. As a student, Alec, Jibril and I worked together to make a short movie for our class project. The region close to Nick's house was the ideal choice because it matched the menacing atmosphere of our scenario. Tall trees and bushes encircled the scene, lending it an eerie and ominous atmosphere. Nick's home itself was outdated and dilapidated, with boarded-up windows and deteriorating wall paint. As it was private land and we didn't want to disturb the neighbors, we were aware that we had to exercise caution when filming there. In order to set up our equipment and prepare our photographs, we arrived early in the morning. The area's natural lighting was ideal for creating the ominous and dismal feeling we were striving for. To improve the ambience of the scene, we also brought along some artificial lighting and smoke machines. It was occasionally difficult to film in the area around Nick's house since we had to go past various environmental impediments. In order to prevent accidentally catching any extraneous objects or background noise, we had to be careful with our camera angles and positioning. Even though the environment was chilly and wet, we were still able to acquire some fantastic footage. We were able to get into it because of the place's creepy vibe. The spooky atmosphere of the setting aided in our character development and helped us tell a plausible tale. We managed to get some very suspenseful shots that boosted the overall effect of our movie. When we were students, we were proud of what we were able to accomplish with the tools at our disposal. A big factor in its achievement was the gloomy and unsettling environment next to Nick's dwelling. We were appreciative of the chance to film there and produce something very special. For all of us, working on this project with Alec and Jibril was a tremendous learning opportunity. We gained a lot of knowledge about narrative, cinematography, and the significance of picking the ideal setting for a movie shoot. Thats all for tonight, logging out.
