Blog Post #30 - Flashlight usage

In my film all the lights are going to be off in James's house because in my film when D.L is robbing James's house he is still asleep. Since all of the lights are going to be off, D.L will need a tool in order to be able to see where he is going while inside James's house. So for this reason I decided that D.L will be using a flashlight throughout the film in order to have a light source. The reasoning that I had behind my choice was that a flashlight usually produces enough light in order for someone to see in dark areas. Another reason for my choice is that a flashlight is handheld and easier to carry around then other light sources. Flashlights are also a stereotypical light source that criminals use.

The flashlight that I will use in my film

In my film, D.L will have the flash light on while he is robbing James's house. Without having this flashlight, it would make it very hard for D.L to see where he's going while in James's house because of there being no lights on at the house. When D.L looks at the opened entertainment system in the living room he shines the flashlight at it in order to see if there are any valuables in the entertainment system. D.L also shines the flashlight at a drawer to then open the drawer and find a briefcase that contains an excessive amount of cash. He then puts the briefcase on the dinner table and opens it. After D.L opens this briefcase he shines the flashlight on all of the money. Whenever D.L finishes using the flashlight he puts it back into his pocket since he has stopped using it.


Above is a video that I recorded in order to show the impact of the light from a flashlight in a dark room.

  CCR #3- How did your production skills develop throughout this project?    My creative approach was a presentation. Production skills are an important part of creating films. This is because having better production skills can make a film better and more entertaining. Without good production skills, a film may not look very realistic, and a film might not be as entertaining as it was originally intended to be.   Production skills can range from anything between having good camera shots, having costuming that fits with the character s role, adding proper score and sound effects, recreating sounds as re alistic as possible with foley, and having props that fit with the storyline.   My production skills have developed in beneficial ways while working on this project. Before filming my project, I originally didn't have much thought on the importance of score in films and before I filmed, I thought I wasn't going to use score. After filming my op ening scene, I...
