Week Four (2/17-2/23) 4/4

 Hello, my fellow humans.


Now that we have completed planning, we can now work on refining the audio. This includes making the sound design stronger and making sure each of these sounds is well in sync with mood and narrative.


The final project requires all good audio being fine-tuned, music being enhanced , and dialogue being edited for clarity. Each component of the audio will be blended by justin and i so it serves the story, resulting in a viewer experience we have crafted.

On set, we must make adjustments. We can re-record bad background noise, reposition microphones for improved sound, and apply ADR for errors. The secret is being flexible—with a well-thought plan, making slight adjustments here and there so we achieve a good outcome. Actually, we used mics on our first day of shooting last week and the audio was enhanced to the max.


Post-production is critical in getting audio completed. Sound mixing and master make sure everything is in balance, so music, dialogue, and sound effects blend well. The project is nearly completed, and music transitions from a good process to a concrete experience. Each of its choices of sound is now definite, aiding in crafting a perception of how viewers comprehend and relate to the narrative. 

Week Four (2/17-2/23) 3/4

 Hello, my fellow humans.


Now that 
we have a design in placewe can start and complete the construction of the scene. This involves refining the thought and ensuring that each visual decision fits the envisioned mood and conveys the message.

First, we gotta work on what involves the departments' collaborative effort. The final touches are done by the costume designers which is justin and i. Then we review the lights and make sure they are  adjusted perfectly in order to set the correct moodThe shot is shot with great attention so that it will enhance the storyline and not move away from it.

On set, some adjustments 
needed to be doneThe illumination set might be adjusted to have the correct contrast, props need be rearranged for better appearance such as the fake knife and possbily a movie gladd bottle which just break really easily once in contact, and costumes might be adjusted slightly in order to fit in maybe more darker and warm colors. The Important aspect is doing good planning and making minor adjustments at the last minute in order to get a smooth final output.

Post-production 
is crucial in completing the scene. Color grading enhances the tone established during the shoot and maintains it throughout each scene. Shadows may be darker, highlights lighter, and the color adjusted in such a manner that the correct feeling will be made. 

As 
the project nears completion, the attention shifts toward an actual and practical good experience. The general appearance of the project has been established and influences the manner in which the audience views and relates with it. The concepts have been translated into an actual and tangible experience and will be displayed soon enough.

Week Four (2/17-2/23) 2/4

 Hello, my fellow humans.


Today, I’m diving into the mise-en-scène elements for my latest project. This post is all about how costume, set design, props, and lighting contribute to the storytelling, creating an immersive experience that heightens the audience’s emotions.

Beginning with the apparelit is important that the outfits of each character reflect the character and serve the plotThe leading character might wear casual yet stylish clothes that reflect the quiet confidence and a bit of authority of the characterThe mysterious figure would wear all flowing, dark-colored outfits that allow him to blend with the darkness and at the same time reflect how dark he is.

Set design plays an equally important role. The opening scene takes place outside AMC theaters, with its neon glow illuminating the night, creating a nostalgic yet slightly surreal and dark atmosphere. As the characters move to a secluded alleyway, the environment changes brick walls covered in planeness, a few flickering streetlights, maybe even trash strewn along the pavement all elements that set the mood for what’s to come.

Props,
 play an integral part in the depth and import of a scene. The item of a necklace or the glowing screen of a cellphone becomes a device of introducing tension or signaling foreshadowing. The runaway wallet, the shattered glass jarand the discarded newspaper with a fateful headline each play powerful tools of the whole project.

 In conclusion, lighting is a sometimes-underestimated aspect of the mise-en-scène. Soothing and radiant illumination within a crowded space will create feelings of warmth and comfort, while harshand focused illumination within an alley will create strong contrasts and an ominous feelingLast of all, the combination of natural and artificial illumination will also play a silent part in affecting the audience'feelingsswinging between comfort and unease throughout the scene.
