This blog will be about my filming project.
Introduction:
Our goal was to create a 3-5 minute film. After the team discussion, we decided to create a movie about a person with an advanced A.I.
The story takes place in the future, in 2031, and it is about a person named Ramses with an Artificial Intelligence called D.AI.NA. As days go by, the AI becomes aware of Ramses thoughts, such as his girlfriend and the world around him, that it is starting to have a mind of its own.
Research:
Prey
The idea came from the beginning of a game trailer known as Prey. The trailer begins when the main character Morgan wakes up, and the AI speaks, it gets interesting as the day repeats and things are getting more strange than before.
This idea can help us plan how our film will start and how it will continue until the end. To compare from this trailer and the movie, the A.I. will have a mind of its own and the days will not be the same.
I, Robot
I, Robot is another film that gives us the inspiration for the creation of the A.I. The idea came from the part where an A.I., VIKI, learn many things the humans have done over the years, such war and pollution, and she believes that freedom must be stopped to cease all of these actions.
Project:
Object:
The Object we have decided to use will be the phone because in my thoughts, the majority of the world use phones everyday and everywhere, on roads, parks, trains, homes, etc.
Synopsis:
This is the synopsis created for the movie.
Story Board:
After deciding our story, we decided to create the storyboard to understand how the film should be like.
These images represent the final design of the storyboard.
Script:
With the storyboard completed, the Script comes next. With the script, it will help the group how that the story should play as what lines and movements that actor must do.
Filming:
After planning, we began filming, using a camera to film and a microphone and voice recorder for better sound qualities.
Final Cut Pro:
After making the scenes, we used Final Cut Pro to edit all the clips and add the text and the music.
For the soundtracks, we use free music websites to download tracks and use them for the movie.
Film:
Here is the film.
Conclusion:
Overall, I have learned many things from this project, I learned how are the roles of directors, producers and actors. I also learned how to use Softwares to gather all clips, soundtracks and text to form them into a film.
