Production blog: Prepping for film


Hey blog, its me again. My group and I got together over the weekend to confirm our planning before heading to the carnival. It was a week before going and I was in charge of bringing props we would us for the film. One of the props I brought for the film was a black hoodie for Makenna, I brought this because she was a "stalker" in the film and we needed her to look as mysterious as possible. Another prop we planned to use for this character was a plain black mask because the face reveal of the character would be at the very end. I was not able to find a black mask and moved to our alternate plan and used a scarf instead. One important thing that was needed for the film was a photo album of the character so my group and I made an album of gathered photos that we could scroll through for that scene. I reminded my group to bring money and a wallet when paying for a ticket and carnival games. This would help make the audience of the film understand what we are purchasing for.  After I checked off all the props that we would be using in the film I went over my script alone and even with y sister. I also went over my script with my groupmate that I would be saying this script to. My groupmate and I went over the script at least five times each scene. The costumes we used in the film were designated for each character. For example me and my groupmate we played the two friends and we each wore bright colors and made the outfit look like summer time. Meanwhile the "stalker" wore dark colors and was all covered up. After establishing this with my group it was finalized the day of and we began to film the next week. We did this color separation to tell a difference between us. It also helps the audience understand each character better with the color of their clothes. That's it for today blog! Until next time. Karina logging off.

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...

Our Pitch

 Pitch A:  three friends get a ride home, one still waits. Who is the man that picks her up? Pitch B: Two friends get lost in a mirror maze but they see death in their reflection For pitch A it would be really interesting filming this, I believe that it would be easier filming this than pitch b. This film would be filmed at night because it adds more of a dangerous tension to the film. What I do not enjoy about this film is that its a basic storyline where the person gets kidnapped by a random car ride. On the other hand pitch b is more unique and creates a better tension. Also choosing a location to film this would be difficult as well. Pitch B would be a really fun film to be filmed. It would take place at a carnival and there will be a killer. We found this pitch be very unique compared to our first. This film would include a lot of tone and facial expressions when being filmed. The only bad thing about this film is that it may be difficult to film due to different availabl...

Title Research: Art of the Title Website

 Hello everyone,     Welcome back to another blog! Today, I will be discussing with you our websites on title research. The title design in opening sequences is extremely important. So, it’s equally as important to properly plan. Because of this, my group has made sure to use the best websites to research our titles and title research. The two websites I have chosen for this research are http://www.artofthetitle.com/ and http://www.watchthetitles.com/. These websites are really good for many reasons. The first is that art of the Title website has movies from around the world, which is really good for variety and helps to research broader styles and genres.     Additionally, the site features title designs of film, television, conference, and video game industries. Again, this is very good for a broad selection. The other website, Watchthetitles.com, has over 200 title sequences, along with video interviews, and articles about movie titles. They are both great we...
