We're done and lowkey this is kinda crazy yo. Like everything's coming together all we need is to edit and like boom, 8 weeks of work DUHDUHDONE. But let me be profesh for a sec.
We chose to use a high quality Canon camera for most of the film (was it 4k?? I think it was 3k... I don't know I don't camera), especially the main narrative scenes. We did this on purpose because we wanted the cinematography to feel clean with the high resolution making everything more intense. But we also did it because we didn't want the camera quality to be the same the whole time. For the FaceTime scenes, we intentionally used a computer to create that slightly lower-quality, front-camera feel which would contrast the high-quality camera used in other scenes. We didn’t want it to look staged or overly polished. Real FaceTime calls aren’t perfectly lit or cinematic like we wanted it to feel real and lowkey a little awkward. That realism makes the party scene feel more believable and helps contrast Stacy’s quiet environment with Allyssa’s chaotic one. We also used footage styled like it was coming from Ring cameras and security systems during certain moments creating strong juxtaposition between the different technologies.
Overall, mixing camera types helped us visually tell the story without needing to explain everything through dialogue. The difference in quality was a deliberate creative decision to show the contrast between Stacy and her life VS. the technology around her.
BUT YAY!
