This is my final version of a clip of “Matt: Grum” that I have filmed for this class. I wish to film more for myself and make this a full movie, but this will work for now.
The clip involves a short segment in which our protagonist Aiden finally gets the hint that his employer Matt is a bit more than “off”. I think the strongest capture decision that helped to bring this to fruition was the use of audio at the right moments and using a gimble for a couple scenes to make walking look more smooth. In terms of story, the biggest and probably hardest/worst decision was to add a brief description in the beginning. I feel it was necessary for this class, but would be removed later.
The biggest revisions I had to make involved the lighting in post-production. In hindsight, there’s only one clip you can really tell the clip lighting definitely is different from the clip before it, and otherwise it’s hard to tell most clips were filmed different days. This brings me to next time, where I will remember the importance of good lighting and filming at the same time each day to achieve this; and to next time regard daylight savings. I would also like to improve gimble use, as it was my first time and I had to delete a lot of footage due to me adjusting the gimble mid-clip, which looked frankly awful.
The intended audience is for fans of horror! And really, it’s not too late in the fall season to enjoy it for that reason. The group was fun to work with, even if communication was difficult for setting up filming times. I am excited to make a full length movie!
