Production Log
Test shots
I transitioned a real scene into an inside the screen shot I intended to make the camera follow the text while typing. I also followed the mouse
​
I changed the position of the camera every time the text was moving on caput.
I used a track shot, tracking the text
​
I like how this looks i think it gives more of a POV and allows me to transition to the AI character.
​
I intended for the room to be completely dark and use the computer in order to light my face to create this isolated atmosphere. I used a wide long still shot. I adjusted the lighting settings on my editing tool to make the light shine brighter. As I closed the laptop and opened the lights the AI appeared and glitched which is supposed to represent that the ai is still active and watching you.
I used a wide long shot, adjusted the lighting settings on my editing tool to make the light shine brighter and made the Ai glitch by cutting and adding short clips.
​
Overall i like this idea, i think I could make the Ai Opague to make it look like its not actually in the room
I intended for the room to be completely dark and use the computer in order to light my face to create this isolated atmosphere. I used a wide long still shot. I adjusted the lighting settings on my editing tool to make the light shine brighter
I really like this shot, and will be using it in all the scenes to make them all align. I will want to make the screen even brighter.
​
I created these fast cuts back and forth to make the AI look like it was glitching to make it feel less human in the video and to make it clear that this character is the AI. The Scene with the computer transitions from the human to the ais screen and tracking back to the AI's face
​
Medium close-up track shot I cut small parts when the AI was moving its head copy-pasted them and reversed some of them as well as increased the speed to create this Glitch effect.
​
I am happy with this shot although i would want to make it more glitchy and i will try to add sound effects and glitch effects to really sell my AI human character.
I intended to use odd angles like the Dutch angle and wide upward angles to really show that there is no one else in the room. The Dutch angle is a shot used to cause a sense of unease or disorientation for the viewer.
I created short fast cuts to also create a sense of disorientation and emptyness. The use of white noise and typing sound effects was done to add more of a feeling of isolation.
I will use these angles and shots in my final.
I
I intended for the ai to look like it appeared when the human is opening the chatGPT app.
​
Long wide still shot. I added more light to the face, I was experimenting with the ring light to create a more dramatic and bright light.
​
I like this shot although i have to make sure the lighting doesn't change when the ai appears as it looks like the camera moved making the scene not look seamless. I also want to try to make the ai appear with opacity rather than just appearing. Adding a dirrent colored light on the ai will also distinctify the characters.
