Mood Board

 A mood board is a visual tool used in the film production process to convey the intended look, feel, and atmosphere of a film.

We all discussed what styles to include or what themes we wanted to explore. I created the mood board poster. I set the standard for how we will color grade the film.

Here is my interpretation of the styles and themes for the film. Eden also made her own PowerPoint on her interpretation.

Here is the mood board poster I created that combines both of our interpretations into the desired styles

I used Canva to create this poster, here is a link to the website I used with my poster:

Tools/Equipment for Filming

 We decided to film using a Canon EOS M50 Mark II camera, rather than the iPhone we were using before. Initial research was done to better understand how to use it, and we had our instructor teach some manual features on the camera. 

 

 

 

We chose this camera because of its features like focus peaking, a flip-out LCD screen, and a built-in EVF. It has great color and dynamic range, and the 1090 p HD autofocus system allows for aperture adjustments and the use of ND filters to prevent overexposure. The camera's advanced features like the DIGIC8 processor and eye-tracking Dual Pixel Autofocus are some other examples of useful features.

1. Switching to Video Mode 

The mode dial at the top should be set to the film icon and make sure it changes to movie shooting mode. When the filming icon shows on the left, we can begin recording by pressing the red circular button on the top of the right-hand side of the camera. While the movie is recording, the red circle icon is displayed in the upper right of the screen. You can stop filming by pressing the movie shooting button again.

2. Selecting the Right Shooting Mode 

The movie auto exposure sets brightness for the scene. This feature can be modified by selecting the movie logo dial and change it to the camera which is shooting mode. Before recording the movie, the focus can be changed with AF() or for manual (). By default the camera dial movie servo AF is set to enable so that the camera always keeps focusing (). Pressing the shutter button halfway focuses using the current AF method.  

3. Focus on the Exposure and IOS 

ISO speed is set automatically. For details on ISO speed, see ISO Speed in Movie Recording. You can lock the exposure (AE lock) by pressing the AE Lock button (). To cancel AE lock, press the AE Lock button again. Exposure compensation in manual exposure movie recording can be set in a range of up to ±3 stops. You can manually set the shutter speed, aperture value, and ISO speed for movie recording. Set the Mode dial to Movies. Press Quick Control/Set button. When the screen above is displayed, tap the recording mode icon. Select [ Movie manual exposure]. You can also select [ ] (Movie manual exp.) from [ Shooting: Shooting mode]. Set the ISO speed. Tap the ISO speed icon. The ISO speed setting screen is displayed. Set with the Dial dial or Left key Right key keys. Set the shutter speed and aperture value. Press the shutter button halfway and check the exposure level indicator. Press the Up key key to select the shutter speed or aperture value, then turn the Dial dial to set a value. Shutter speed can be set in a range of 1/4000–1/8 sec. 

4. Using a Moza AirCross 2 

Please place the camera on the quick release plate, aim the 1/4" threaded hole at the bottom of the camera with the empty slot of the mounting plate. Then tighten the secure screw on the quick release system. Balance the camera by moving the camera forward and backward until you find a position where the lens face front and the camera can keep complete still. Tighten the camera lock-knob and balance the Tilt Adjustment Arm, balancing the Roll Adjustment Arm, balancing the Yaw Adjustment Arm, loosen Tilt Adjustment Screw and adjust the Tilt, and finally the Adjustment Arm until it remains still with the lens facing vertical or toward the ground. Once balanced, tighten the Tilt Adjustment Screw. Loosen the quick Release system adjustment screw, be sure to leave a little space between the camera and the motor, in this case move the quick release plate to the till motor as possible as you can, then tighten the quick Release system adjustment screw. Loosen the Roll Adjustment Screw and adjust the Roll Adjustment Arm until the camera remains still and level with the horizon. Once balanced, tighten the Roll Adjustment Screw. Loosen the Yaw Adjustment Screw and adjust the Yaw Adjustment Arm until the camera remains still and level with the horizon. Once balanced tighten the Yaw Adjustment Screw.  

Tilt - Yaw follow mode: The Tilt and Yaw Adjustment Arm follows the movement while the Roll Adjustment Arm is locked.  

All lock mode: All three Adjustment Arm are locked.

Four times quick press: Roll-follow mode. Enable roll control.
