Filming Week

Tuesday 06th October 2020

Today we used the phone gimbal it was pretty easy to use and understand. It was the Vimble 2 which is approximately £75, I think it could be a good investment. We were given an instruction sheet, a quick start guide so with any issues I had, I could check the instructions. The only real issue I had was that I couldn't download the app but it wasn't really necessary for today's task.

With the Vimble, I made a short film sort of thing which was about this person who didn't know where they were or who they were but they keep teleporting and they don't know why.

I am going to film my film project today or Thursday which was the plan anyway. I will probably be able to edit the things I filmed with the phone gimbal. I don't think I will need a gimbal for the project film.

I think I should consider for a future project making a film with just pictures and narration.

I made a list of things I will need for filming the project :

• A camera

• Lights (flashlights)

• A location

• 2 models

• A dark cloak

• Some work/going out clothes

• A mask (1)

• A mask (2) [optional]

I will not be editing the Vimble film in school today. I need to write the opening credits which will appear like the Star Wars ones at the beginning to give information. I did some research on chronic loneliness as I think that is what ails the main character. I am not sure if we are supposed to have a finished film or a part of a film but at the end, I want credits that tell ways to deal with loneliness and how to get some help.

"Chronic loneliness occurs when feelings of loneliness and uncomfortable social isolation go on for a long period of time. It’s characterized by constant and unrelenting feelings of being alone, separated or divided from others, and an inability to connect on a deeper level. It can also be accompanied by deeply rooted feelings of inadequacy, poor self-esteem, and self-loathing.

If you consistently feel some or all of the following, you may be dealing with chronic loneliness:

• Inability to connect with others on a deeper, more intimate level. Your interaction doesn’t feel connected in a way that is fulfilling and this disconnection seems never ending.

• No close or "best" friends. You have friends, but they are casual friends.

• Overwhelming feeling of isolation regardless of where you are and who’s around. You can be at a party surrounded by dozens of people and, yet, you feel isolated, separate, and disengaged.

• Negative feelings of self-doubt and self-worth.

• Exhaustion and burn out when trying to engage socially."
