We have had our idea of making the news broadcast very realistic by inserting clips of the mass-suicides and what is happening in certain places while the news anchors speak. But, what we now have to do is make sure we know exactly how we are going to be creating those dramatic clips of the mass-suicides since in real life there are none going on that we can film, obviously. My partner and I came up with two ideas on what we will be doing to create the feel that there are mass-suicides going on, and we what camera movements and techniques we will be using to make it look as real as possible.
The first clip that we will be inserting is going to be a video of a woman, in this case it is going to be me, running through a crowded mall. This will make it seem like the world is ending and everyone wants to buy as many things possible to be able to survive. We are going to film this by having me running in front, and my partner will be running behind me with the camera using the handheld camera movement. This movement is the shaking of the camera, which is often used in many horror or action movies when something bad is about to happen. Utilizing this camera movement will make it seem like there is more chaos than there actually is. Obviously, in the mall, there will be a lot of people everywhere, but they will be most likely just strolling by, not acting crazy. We will creating audio clips of many of our friends screaming and then putting them all together into one clip. After that, we will combine that audio clip with the background noises of the actual mall clip so that there is a more realistic feeling of the chaos.
My partner and I are planning on going to Sawgrass Mills mall in Sunrise, FL on March 15, 2019. There is where we will film this clip. We will be going to an exact area in the mall, right in front of Victoria Secret, and Banana Republic. We know that this is the area where there are most people crowded around due to our past experiences of going to that mall in search of the perfect place to film our clip. March 15 is a Friday, which is the best day of the weekend to film our clip because it is the day that the most people go, and we can achieve the mass-suicide chaotic scene that we want for the news broadcast.
This is the exact location that I spoke about above.
The second clip will be showing images and maybe some video clips of the grocery store in our area, that show empty isles where there used to be water bottles and jugs. Since we can’t go to the grocery store and empty the isles out, we will be using images that I took. In September of 2017 a powerful hurricane named Irma passed by our town, and in order to prepare for it, I went grocery shopping. When I got to the grocery store, there were empty isles of food and water and I took pictures and videos to send to my family. So, we are going to insert these images and videos to add to the chaotic feel of the mass-suicide and end of the world theme.
These images are what we will try to achieve when making these clips.
We will still have the news headlines included in these clips as well as when the anchors speak. We have watched many broadcasts to get ideas and to make sure that we make ours look as real as possible, and the headlines were kept throughout. We will be doing this by using either iMovie and any special effects that we need. As shown in the storyboard, included in my last post, we will be placing these clips in a specific way. We will first show the anchors speaking, and then insert these videos and images in between. This order is also displayed on the storyboard for the news broadcast that is shown in one of my last posts.
