Construction: Day 6 of Filming

Day 6: Filming

our last filming, we filmed the part where Rihanna is being abused by her boyfriend, this is taken place at my house as my group and I demonstrated a variety of shots on how Rihanna is abused I thought deeply on the actions taken place based on her acting and where the camera should be filmed.

The filming went well as I was very proud on the outcome we have produced, especially the lighting, the lights that we used looked so natural as it helped our scene look like the scene is  . Also, the use of props taken place was very effective as it definitely looked like a home.

What did not go well is that we had a lack of communication as we were filming because we all are strong minds therefore we stand our grounds within our opinions, so we then had different ideas on one topic which was quite difficult to agree on but at the end of the day we decided to emerge our ideas together and it turned out well.

Filming: Day 5

 

We filmed in a house, where Rihanna is just acting depressed and crazy, the reason why we specifically chosen her to act like this is because we want to demonstrate how upset, depressed she is feeling based on the story line. 

The filming went well because we were able to produced great shots and concepts from Rihanna's acting. I was inspired by one of Rihanna's music video where she there was an effect where there was more than one of her in a shoot, therefore I did the techniques that will help a create that effect, which went well.

However, what did not go well is the fact that we were not able to get a clear  meaning a plain background as we expected so we had to use our friends room which was the closest to getting a clear background which went well.

 The next scene is where my group and I film where Rihanna is an argument with her abusive boyfriend.

Filming: Day 4

We decided to film at one of our friends house, the scene we decided to do is where Rihanna is in the bath tub singing and acting, we used the bath tub scene in order to represent suicidal, depression and isolation. The bath tub is extremely effective because the use of water on her face is quite an interesting scene to look at as I can manipulate the filming in different ways through premiere adobe. 

It went well because we produced a good quality of work as we did different shots and angles and created interesting props. What also went well is the acting from Rihanna was very interesting as she was very passionate about the song which even made the filming interesting.

What did not go well is that some of the shots that we wanted to do was impossible because technology and water clash, therefore was not able to get shots under water.

For our next filming we are planning on filming where Rihanna is acting possessed and crazy.

Filming: Day 3

My group and I decided to film in a park this scene is where Rihanna is running away from all sorts of things as she is lost and confused in her mind.  The location she is currently in. We deliberately filmed in that area because we wanted to show an interesting scenario.  We filmed when the sun was just about to set in order to get a chance to record like a silhouette. The filming went well because we were able to film a variety of shots as well as filming during the day and evening.  We produced a great quality of shots, what helped us with that is the fact that the background/scenario provided us with beautiful lightings.

However, what did not go well is that the filming was quite difficult to record because there was areas where I tripped over while I was filming.

We are planning on filming at one of our friends house, we are planning on filming the scene where Rihanna is in the bath tub, almost as if she is drowning.

Filming: Day 2

For the second day of filming, my group and I went to a cemetery to film, the reason why filmed in a cemetery is because it is the scene where Rihanna's friends meet Rihanna at the graveyard as her friends put a flower on her to show some respect. We also filmed Rihanna singing in the cemetery because my group and I thought that it would be interesting if she sings where she was buried. The part we recorded went well as my group and I recorded good quality angles that we never thought we could record as I am extremely proud with our progress.

I must admit that everything went well in my opinion, I don't think there was any error or so besides one of our group turn up late to the recording because of other issues but other than that everything went well.

In our next filming we are planning on filming in a forest where Rihanna runs in the forest acting as if she is lost. Also, we are planning on recording where there are enormous landscapes.

Construction: Day 1 of Filming

Filming: Day 1

First day of filming went well as we kept to task on what we were planning on filming in the first place. We filmed the very first scene which was the part where Rihanna (Ralia) is performing in the studio. My group and I focused on the basic shots at first, in order to get the simple shots (medium shots, long shots, close ups etc.) out of the way. I must admit we filmed much more than I expected because I thought that the part where we wanted to film would only have a limit on what we wanted to do, but as we kept on filming we started having more ideas which took much longer that I expected it to be.

The whole filming went well. I was quite impressed by the lighting of the filming as the striking lighting upon Rihanna's face was more defining, brighter and prettier leading her to actually looking like she is a pop-star. What also went well is that we even successfully filmed more than I expected as we even filmed a variety of shots that I didn't expect to film.

What did not go well is that we were even planning on filming the next scene since we even completed the first scene which we had plenty of time, unfortunately my camera died which disrupted everything so instead we just worked on our blog.

Overall, everything went well according to our plan and we are hoping to record the next scene which is the cemetery part, where we begin to narrate the story line.
