production blog: acting in the film


 Hey blog! its me again. During the filming process I was in the film. I was in at least a minute and 15 seconds of the film. It took many tries for me to get certain facial expressions and movements down. An important part of film is facial expressions and body language because it can help guide the audience on the feeling of the character and setting. Due to learning these actions in the moment it took several tries to get the clip down. I kept on messing up and couldn't keep it serious. After awhile I started to adjust to the expressions that were needed. This helped a lot because it was quicker to film and  made it look more natural. Along with this I also talked in the film. The script was improvised in one scene because it had many mess ups. For my first long talking scene it took me at least 8 tries to get it down even though i practiced before. Besides that scene i got my script down for the most part. The script was definitely easier than the facial expressions and body language. I can say with the amount of acting that was being down it was a slow process but you can adapt to it quickly. The motivation and help my groupmates gave me during the process was also helpful. I also helped them because they acted as well. The hardest scene for me to be in was the 30 seconds talking scene and the close ups because it was difficult at times for the camera to be close. While I filmed it became frustrating when people would get into our shots and I would have to refilm. This was probably the most difficult part of filming in a crowded area. The voices also were difficult to hear but that's for another day. That's it for today blog! until next time. Karina logging off.

Production blog: film review

 Hey blog! its me again. After officially finishing our video I showed my sister and brother the video to hear open comments on what could be fixed. I first showed my sister. After she watched the video the first thing she mentioned was that in some parts the music should go lower than the other ones because of the setting. For example, in the scene where veronica and the kidnapper have an encounter, she told me to lower the music because it could allow my audience to focus more on the dialogue than the music. Another flaw she pointed out was how fast the texts were disappearing so she told me to fix the timing and maybe make the sizes bigger. Finally the last thing she told me was to change where the dissolve was located because it was too close to the fade. These comments helped me a lot. I then went to my brother and he watched the film. Once again, after he finished watch, the first thing he told me was the music changing volumes for more focus on dialogue. He also mentioned ho...

Planning Blog

       Hey blog! it’s me again. BOOM! I am starting the process of creating my first my commercial. First thing that I am going  to do is get my photos. My mom has a whole album of pictures dedicated to each of her kids and their achievements, therefore I will be asking her for the help. For my videos I am going to ask my friends and sisters, they tend to take the most videos of me. I will be also going through my flash drive and camera roll to find photos and videos that show the real me. To find a song that truly fits me, Me and my dog will be listening to a playlist on Spotify of my favorite songs and see which song I sing the most to or describes me in the best way possible. After figuring out my song, I'm going to be filming a video talking about myself, then insert the photos and videos that I have collected. Then I am going to add the music as background just to take the silence away. I will be editing these videos together on Cap Cut, my photos and video...

critical creative reflection

     In this music video I have learned a lot from my groupmate's and technology. The process wasnt easy but it was done. In our music video my group and I decided to challenge the conventions. In the genre most of it follows what the song is saying or shows two scenes but goes back and forth. In our music video we made a script in which we acted out what the song felt like for us. One meaning we had of the song was drifting apart from a relationship and learning to let go, the other was realizing your actions and feeling guilt after. An issue this music video represented was jealousy and how it can come over your actions. The girl (maddie) realized that her friend and boyfriend were cheating behind her back and she took action by drowning the girl. A group this video could affect would be jealous people or people who cheat and lead people on. It could help them to understand how their actions can really affect people from the other side and be considerate. This music vid...
