Publication 1, Week 6

This is I, and Luis, one of the main actors while the other actor, Tomas, is filming this video. We had been planning going to the beach since last Wednesday. Finally, Saturday we filmed everything we needed for this film opening. It was a longer and more difficult process than expected. My friend and main actor, Tomas, knows a little about certain shots and how to act so while I was directing, he was producing. We made sure to get a variety of shots and angles: close ups, establishing shots, POV shots and high angles. As well as certain techniques, those included: rack focus, subtle zooming and tracking shots. Most people believe that making a video is easy, and the truth is, it is. A video that does not make the audience feel anything, that does not have the essence of a film, that does not bring great content to the screen, is easy. But making a film is so underrated, most people do not understand or know half the work that is conducted into making a film possible. If making a film opening of 2 minutes is complex, imagine a full length feature film. Insane.
