Production Blog: Dress to Impress

Hey, blog! It's me again. Today, I will be talking about my trip to the mall. We went because we realized we had forgotten to bring the necessities for the evil sister on the second day of filming. So I volunteered to go buy the costumes we needed. I did not know the size of the little girl so I decided to let her tag along. I drove to Galleria Mall and looked inside Macy's first just to find an affordable black dress. Unfortunately, this did not reach the expectations with prices and my partner recommended going to Marshalls, Tjmaxx, or Ross. I then went to these retail stores and the first one I walked into had the inspiration I was looking for. I bought the dress and then proceeded to look for other items we needed. As I looked around in other retail stores I continued to find more dresses and decided to buy one more to pick from. During this process I was concerned I bought too much for our film but when we filmed it ended up working perfectly. The next day my group and I decided to meet up to plan things out for the next few scenes. these next scenes were the most important parts of our film because they contained a lot of emotion and action. In conclusion, we did a rehearsal day with all the costumes and with the movements. It was a long process but it was perfected in the end. I then recommended filming within that week so no one would forget the information we had obtained that day. Everyone agreed and we will be meeting on the 15th. That's it for today's 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...

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...
