I am getting use to this camera now. This second roll came out better than I thought which I was quite satisfied.

DP2 Moving Images - Film Ambient Vapour

Our film is finally done!

Ambient Vapour


I am quite pleased with it. As it is our first "professionally-done film", I would say it worked quite well.
There were a few feedback last seminar about our film that could be improved-
  • Too many zoom in's-

Some of the zooming in was meaningless, it's not necessarily needed,

Zoom in shots should be done in 3 separate shots instead of 1 continuous zoomed in shot, so the scene could be clearer

  • The audio was good, but Jools suggested us to put the mystery music in some other part of the film as well, so the mystery feel continues as the film goes along.
  • Repeated some scenes, as the film was inverse, repeat some scene will make the film clearer and makes more sense

Filming Ideas

We had a lot of ideas on how our scenes should be filmed, and how the new scene is going to work.

We liked this 2 things happening in 1 scene idea from the film '500 days of summer'


so we decided to use this idea for our new scene.
Hope it work well in our film.

Design Practice 2 - Short Film

So we've started our last project of DP2 - Moving Images

Our group's script is called 'Ambient Vapour'
We think it is about some kind of addiction and the character of finding herself.
It's a mysterious story which we will leave a lot of spaces to the audience to think what the story is trying to say.
My role is the camera man. I haven't done any filming apart from the one we did in the first term, so hopefully my groupmate Vyte will help me along and we will make a great film.

We had a lecture on making storyboard and prepping the shoot yesterday.
Jools introduced us the production tools Celtx and FrameForge 3D. I found FrameForge very interesting and fun to use.
And as a camera man, I need to be very clear about the angles and shots of how each scene would be like, so we've discussed this yesterday and hopefully it will come out as we wanted it to be.
