How we handled retakes and mistakes


Note on Handling Retakes and Mistakes


Mistakes are a natural part of filmmaking, and we definitely had our fair share. From forgotten lines to background noise or missed camera cues, not everything went smoothly the first time. But instead of getting frustrated, we treated each mistake as a learning moment. Some bloopers even made us laugh and helped ease the pressure on set. For retakes, we stayed patient and made quick adjustments—whether it was fixing lighting, changing camera angles, or giving actors a moment to reset. The key was staying flexible and not giving up until we got the shot right. In the end, those extra takes made the final scenes look polished and professional.

The Quiet Welcome

Final Note: The Quiet Welcome And just like that… it’s done. The Quiet Welcome is finally ready to share. This film started as a simple idea we thought would be cool to try—and somehow, it all came together. We didn’t overthink every detail, but we had a vision, and we stuck with it. From picking our house as the location to figuring things out on the spot, we kept things relaxed and just made the most of what we had. There were retakes, small edits, and a few moments where things didn’t go as planned, but honestly, that was part of the fun. Thanks to everyone who followed along with the process. Hope you enjoy watching it as much as we enjoyed putting it together. https://youtu.be/NA19sqqKF_4?feature=shared

**Hello, I’m Yamin Khan!** Ever since I can remember, I've been fascinated by the way stories are told, how information is shared, and the impact that media has on our lives. This curiosity led me to pursue a field where these elements come together—**Media Studies**. **Why Media Studies?** Media isn't just about entertainment; it’s a powerful tool that shapes opinions, drives change, and connects the world. The way we consume and interact with media has a profound influence on our thoughts, behaviors, and even the way we perceive reality. For me, media studies is more than just an academic discipline—it’s a way to understand the world and, more importantly, to contribute to it.  In this blog, I’m excited to share my journey, insights, and experiences as I explore the vast and dynamic world of media. Whether you’re a fellow media enthusiast or just curious about the field, I hope my posts inspire you to see the power and potential of media in new and exciting ways.

 Note on Camera Angles for Our Short Horror Film Objective: In our short horror film, we will employ a range of camera angles to enhance the storytelling and create a chilling atmosphere. Each angle will help shape the audience's perception and emotional response, contributing to the overall horror experience. Planned Camera Angles: 1. High Angle: Purpose: To shoot from above the subject, looking down. Effect: This angle makes characters appear vulnerable or powerless, enhancing feelings of fear and helplessness, especially in critical moments of danger. 2. Low Angle: Purpose: To shoot from below the subject, looking up. Effect: This angle can make characters seem larger, more menacing, or more powerful, heightening tension and creating an intimidating presence for antagonists. 3. Eye Level: Purpose: To position the camera at the same height as the characters' eyes. Effect: This angle provides a neutral perspective, allowing the audience to connect with the characters and their...
