Production Blog: Lights, Camera, ACTION!

 


Hey, blog! It's me again. Today I will discuss our first day of filming for our short film. I started off the day by confirming everyone in the first 3 scenes would be able to attend our filming session. After everyone confirmed I began to head over to our set location, my partners Marianas' house. I arrived before everyone else did because I wanted to go over what we would be filming that day and in what order we would set everything on the set. After a couple minutes people began to arrive and they began to review the script for the scenes we were going to do. My partner and I went over the itinerary for that day. As this finished we began to set it up and started. I decided the let everyone continue going over their script for another ten minutes. While they did this Mariana and I filmed the establishing shot to show where the story is taking place. 

Once this task was finished we began filming. I decided to let my partner film the first few shots. After this, I began to film. I shot the close-up and the high angle.  I started to get hungry and assumed everyone else on the set was also hungry. I decided to get food for them since they are helping us make this possible. After we ate and proceeded to film, that concluded our tasks for that day. It was a very successful film day. I headed home and thought about starting editing but decided to wait till we had more shots. That's it for today's blog! Stay tuned to see our final results, until next time.

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...
