Sound's Person Journal (Chloe Wakeling)

Sound's Person Journal

What I had to do: In our film we had a radio news presenter, talking about a missing girl - this story that i made up ties up with out story in our opening scene of our film.

I did the recording first, but found when playing it back that it would not be good enough for the film, so i origanized todo it again.

I found someone else to do it, his name was Raman, and his voice sounded just like a DJ , which was what I was trying to achieve for the radio. When playing back, the voice suited well, and the editer incorporated it well into the film.

I enjoyed making the voice for the radio, as it showed more of a rangeof technology that I used in our film.
I was happy working with the people who was involved in making the news voice.

The only thing that went wrong was when i did my first try, of which my voice was not good enough - by this i mean it did not have the news type voice i was trying to achieve.

I would happily do it again , to improve our movie or if i made another movie which needed a voice recording.

Camera Person Journal

My name is Chloe Wakeling and I was the Camera-women when the group filmed the opening scene of the supernatural thriller.

My role: My role as the camera women (cinematography) was to make a wide range of camera angles, to make sure the lighting of the film set was adequate. Hands on with the camera, for example using the buttons and making the angles. To help the directer in decision making, such as where the actors will be best standing.

Using the camera
Using the camera, I found not that difficult to use, because the basics were not that hard to master as there was only three functions of the camera that i actually really needed to master which was the recording button and moving the camera around on the tripod. I also learned how to zoom in and out on the camera, this was used to make our actors face show the confusion on his face, to make the audience react. I enjoyed using the camera as I learn the 3 main functions to a camera that make a film.

The tripod
Using the tripod was not that difficult, I made it different lengths to make different camera shots, to make a wide range of camera shots so when we are editing the editor would have lots of shots to choose from and to choose the right one that will make it creepy.

Lighting
The lighting of the set was adequate to make the effects that we desired. The lighting was very slightly dim, but this was good as this is a good element to have, as our film is a supernatural thriller and this makes the atmosphere creepy.

Working with the Director
Working with the director, we both had good ideas to make the film good. We worked well together as a team.

Overall i enjoyed the role as camera women and would happily do it again for any future movies i make.
