Typeface Development: Title & Credit

  This is our process and prototypes of the creation of our type face and font. Made by Kenzo and Gusde

RReflection: Most of this work Kenzo and gusde do it and I just wait for them and put in the video

Post-Production: Editing

 Here is my Post-Production for Editing

This is our first shooting for the Opening Scene

Advice :

• More camera angle
• Give music
• Better cut
• Typeface

This what we make on our new shooting,which we add more close up and camera angle into the video

this the close up on our new video,which we dont have in our last shooting

We also uses song for the first scene of candra riding motor bike which is

Like A Stone by Bon Jovi

And Livin On A Prayer for fighting scene

WE also give better cut although There is still jump cut,I put a black screen in middle of the video.

For the type face we take it from Canva,and Kenzo make it

Reflection:It was so much fun to edit the video and learned new skill

Production: Organising our footage

  This blog post consist of how we organize our footage after shooting.Candra make it.

The apps we used to edit are : 

 

We use Capcut to edit our video and uses Canva to edit our font and typeface . We chose to use Capcut to edit our intro , because Capcut have a lot of feature such as many choices of effects that we could use and  we could acces easily and the app are mostly free , so it is the best option for us , and we could acces capcut easily . 

we used this app as a way to control the drone and transfer footage from our drone. A problem I encounter was due to connection issues controlling the drone would be hard as there was a noticable delay which made it hard to do micro adjustments and keep the drone in a good position. To solve this problem I had 2 solutions: A I would get a controller and be able to use DJI’s proprietary wireless solution instead of wifi from my phone to the drone but that would include buying more expensive equipment. So instead I trusted the drones ability to fly and track targets autonimously but this meant I had no control over the drones actions. Aswell during the transfer of the footage the drone would often disconnect from the phone which meant it had to be reconnected to continue the download, again the only solution to this was to get a remote as it could transfer faster and would be in the form of an SD.

ONLINE

Google drive: 

Google drive is very useful to store videos as it keeps the resolution of the video the same unlike other apps which might reduce the quality of the video , this helps us to organise which clips do we use and which typeface and fonts we use we put it in the google drive , however the time needed to upload the video into the drive is a lot , which makes it longer to share videos through the files , our solution is to use other device first so that we could use time as effective as possible

whatsapp : 

Whatsapp really helps us communicate long distance , also we are used to using this app which makes us easier to communicate with each other , also this app has a call feature which helps us communicate through call so that we can have better communication between each member of the group , however when sending videos or photos through whatsapp the quality of the video or photo would be bad , so we use google drive to share the videos and other important things related to our project .

Also most of the footage is in maha's phone , because we use his phone to record and edit the video so most of the footage is on his phone.

Production: Behind The Scenes

Pictures of Behind the Scenes (taken by Kenzo):

This is the drone that we used to record aerial footage of our character riding a motorcycle and climbing the walls. This device made it extremely useful when it comes to recording far-distance third-person point of view.

This picture depicts Gusde and Maha discussing about how we're going to use a drone to shoot Candra climbing the wall.

This picture shows us reviewing the footage that we shot after the take.

This picture shows our actor "Mark Choi" getting ready on a motorbike to shoot our very first scene.

This is the picture of our actor playing as the criminal boss of the underworld.

This picture shows us shooting the final scene of the film opening where we used red food colouring to act as blood and we needed assistance from Gusde he will splash red food colouring onto Maha's face.

These videos shows how we recorded our film opening for the fighting scene.

Reflection:It was so fun to fil. the video.

Dominant reading

 This is just a quick catch up session that we did as a group. We thought it would be a good idea to check what our intended dominant readings are for the different things being represented in our film opening. We have recently learned about Stuart Hall’s Reception Theory with Dominant, Oppositional, and Negotiated readings. For our media text to be successful, we want to make sure the message is clear and able to reach the correct audience. Below we will discuss our intended readings, and compare them to the intended readings we made in our Statement of Intent earlier on in the project. It will be interesting to see if our ideas have evolved. 

	List	Our intended  Dominant Reading	How we will achieve this with technical elements
Individuals	Boss Candra	Powerful in terms of strength and influence Dedicated smart strong	Mise en scene: Suit, Luxurious Chair, Menacing smile Camera:Low Angle
Social group	Criminals	We wish to represent criminals and be evil and unjust.	This will be primarily shown with the bosses fighting style being dirty and unfair.
Places	Boss office Road	We want to show the bosses main “office” to be a place fit for a king and extravagant a reflection of a his  power and influence
Events	Fighting Seduction	The fighting in this opening will be intense and over the top which we hope will add to the comedic	~ Abusing multiple cuts (make sure it has enough time frame for the audience to understand) ~ Close up shots ~ Gay Element for seduction
Overall Message	We wanted to show that evil or bad may be good in the short time but good will prevail in the long run.

How are these similar or different from your Statement of Intent?

• The bosses character traits are similar

• We want to reduce the vitality and amount of guards but we will still use them as comedic value.

Filming Schedule

This is my filming schedule,we did it as a group. 

This is my filming schedule for the compenent one .  

Scene	Date/Time	Location	People	Props	Equiptment	Other
All Scenes	Monday 21/01/2025	Maha's House	Maha (Actor), Candra (Actor), Gusde (Drone Operator), and Kenzo (Cameraman)	Motorbike, jacket, black suit full set,	Drone camera Phone Camera	During this day, Kenzo couldn't come to our set location because he was busy so we had to shoot the film with the 3 of us only.
All Scenes	Friday 31/01/2025	Maha's House	Maha (Actor), Candra (Actor), Greg (Actor),  Gusde (Drone Operator), Kenzo (Cameraman)	Motorbike, jacket, black suit full set, red food colouring for blood, Knife, newspaper.	Drone camera, Phone camera, Clapper	After what happened on Monday last week, the opening scene we recorded was not what we expected. Due to that, on this day we decided to reshoot the whole thing with a new unofficial member added to our production crew named Greg (one of our friends). We are more prepared on this day as everyone in the group can arrive on the scene.
All Scenes	Friday 07/03/2025	Maha's House	Maha (Actor), Candra (Actor),  Gusde (Drone Operator), Kenzo (Cameraman),	Motorbike, jacket, black suit full set, red food colouring for blood,	Drone camera, Phone camera,	On this day we decided to reshoot some scenes, especially the fight scene as it was badly choreographed. We also removed one actor in our film which is Greg because the scene that he was in was unnecessary. We had a few visitors during our shooting who wanted to see the process of how we film and gives us feedback on what to improve.

Classwork: Scene Recreation

This Is A blog post where I practice how to shoot the scene,we film it together I edited it and Kenzo make the storyboard,and gusde make the blog post,candra is the cameraman.

Lesson Description: My teacher told us to find a scene from a movie in our genre. Our chosen task was to recreate this scene from John Wick where he and the film's main antagonist conversed with each other engaging in a deal. 


Storyboard:

Original Scene:

      

Our recreated scene:



Problems, How to solve them and What to do next time:

1) We do not have the proper camera equipment, so sometimes the camera movements are a bit unstable, making it look unprofessional. We could not solve this problem besides the least we could do was to get someone from our group to have stable hands when holding the camera. Next time we would be required to buy new equipment that would stabilize the camera when moving to create a better quality film for the audience and avoid shaking the camera.

2) The backlight when we were filming ruins the recreated scene as the original scene was in a dark gloomy weather. There was nothing we could do as we could not control the weather and we did not have enough time to find a new place to film. Next time we would need to take our time to decide which location would be suitable for the environment to match with the original film.

3) There were background noises from the area where we filmed which caused a disturbance in the audio every time the character was speaking even though we had a phone microphone near the voice of our actor. We solved this problem by muffling the audio from the video however this makes the character's voice low and unclear. Next time we would need to buy a proper microphone attached to our actors so their voices can be heard loud and clear. We also would need to clear out the area of our filming set to avoid unnecessary audio or disturbance from entering our film.

4) We had a problem with our cameraman due to his unprofessional conduct where he accidentally recorded the scenes in slow motion. Luckily we had a solution where the videos would be sped up to cover the mistake of our cameraman from the audience. However, this solution would not fully solve the problem as some of the scenes are still in slow motion to match the pace of the original audio. Next time we would have to switch our cameraman to someone else as this can prove to be a hazardous conduct towards our final film.


REFLECTION: 

I learn with my friend to recreate a movie scene with no budget,and it was fun project with my friend.And Candra film most of the video in slowmo,but we were able to fix it.

Classwork: Editing Practice

 This blog post contains the work I did in my lesson on how to successfully edit. My teacher filmed the footage but I worked with Gusde to edited it together. My teacher also provided the template for the blog post. 

Why is continuity editing important?

Continuity editing includes making sure that items like props or costumes stay consistent from scene to scene. But the more important work lies in editing shots together in a way that leaves viewers thoroughly grounded in both time and space.

Different types of continuity edit 

• Straight cut (cut)

• Eyeline match 

• Shot /reverse shot

• Cutaway / Insert 

*Match cut

Footage

Here is the footage that my teacher shot which utilises a variety of camera angles and movements. The scene is very simple, it involves a student standing up and leaving the classroom. A single shot here might be quite boring for the audience, by editing and combining the shots together we can make the scene feel more dynamic. 

My editing process

First we looked over the clips that our teacher had recorded for us then we decided the order of clips from when the actor was leaving the seat to leaving the room then uploading set clips to Cap Cut. We decided to use Cap Cut as it is free easy to use and has a bunch of templates for effects and transitions which really helped fulfil our creative visions. 

For the first edit we decided to use simplier cuts without any effects we used this as a rough guideline or a plan of how we are going to sync up orientate and time the cuts.

For our next edit we started to play around and experiment with different effects with digital zooms and camera movements and transitions.

Reflection:I can easily edit the video because I have edited alot of video,and also it was fun to work together with my friend Gusde.
