Week 16

After getting the okay to start filming i had only filmed my first scene which was the chess pieces. It wasn’t so hard as i just kept the camera rolling and added each piece at a time, which i can later edit. However i did encounter a problem which was in my storyboard it shows that the black chess piece is in the middle front and each time a white chess piece would show up in the back, the problem was that every time i added a chess piece the camera couldn’t focus on all the chess pieces so i had to rearrange the chess pieces in a way that they would all show clearly so i showed them ganged up around not just in a line in the back which actually looked a lot better however the camera kept focusing on different chess piece every time it entered the scene. I decided to actually use that to my advantage as it had a nice effect where it focuses and defocuses which worked out great with the flickering lights, i felt it brought the trailer together and had a great effect.
