Production Blog

Hey guys, today is the second day I'll be speaking about what I've done so far for my commercial. So today I mainly continued doing a lot of things I did last time. For example, I was just reviewing the pictures and other things to see if that was what I really wanted to do. I also kept using the Cap Cut app to edit my pictures, videos, and songs for the commercial. As I was doing that I was looking into more templates and other editing features that could be possibly used. I have also made a group of friends to brainstorm different ideas for the project. This helped speed up a of things in the process of me making my commercial. I started to think about ideas of what I would do for my intro. The reason I'd want an intro segment is so that my audience can get a "taste" of what I'll be showing them. So for my intro I would most likely use a video of me and friends or family to give off a friendly vibe. To get my songs I just screen recorded them and then added them to Cap Cut so I could edit it from there. I'm still struggling with the order my photos are going to go in but I'll figure it out eventually. I also need to figure out when I'll use the songs in the commercial. I will say the process of screen recording the song was very annoying and sort of timing consuming. I also made more than one draft so I could test other designs out and pick out which edit would be the best. After I looked at some examples of commercials that are about a person so I could get a better idea. I tried using more effects and different transitions on the video to experiment. However most became too flashy and just didn't need to be so extra. But that was mostly what I was doing for my commercial. So yeah that is it for today, see ya later bloggers.

Production Blog: Editing

Image
   Hey bloggers and welcome back to the continuation of my opening sequence. Today I will be tinkering throughout my sequence attempting to make it as improved as possible. Very similarly to what I did with my last blog. Considering how much I tweaked during the film review and the critique I used. It was relatively hard for me to see what was still wrong with the opening sequence. This meant I had to thoroughly watch and rewatch our current sequence in order to find thing I could improve upon. This took me quite a bit of minutes before finding pieces of the opening sequence that were not up to standard. The first thing I changed was the positioning of the titles as I wasn't very fond of where they previously were. At times the titles blocked out some important backgrounds or scenes due to their position and size. After noticing this I shifted almost all of the titles so that they would occupy different corners in places without importance to the sequence. I made sure however,...

Reserach: Action Genre

Image
   I'm researching genres to see if it's possible to spin our pitch in a creative way. The genre I am researching at the moment is the action genre. The action movies I researched tend to have these angles and movements of the camera: High and Low angle Birds Eye Views Tracking Shots Side Views Establishing Shots Common Mis-En-Scene used in action films: Occasional comedy Large and intricate movie sets (they get destroyed) Abundance of creative prop usage to create fake glass and prop weapons Intense usage of costumes to differentiate background characters from main characters Use of lighting to create tense feelings in audience (flashing lights, dim lights) Common Editing used in action films: Jump Cuts Cuts Fade Aways Cross Cuts Dissolve Inserts Common Sounds used in action films: Dialogue Intense music leaving audience on edge of their seats Sound Bridges Ambient Sounds to immerse audience Films I watched in this genre: Bullet Train The Gray Man Ghosted The John Wick Series...

Our Pitch

Image
  These are our pitches we came up with for our opening sequence  Pitch A: A group of students plan out an innocent camping trip and begin to find out that there is something out there, something watching them the entire time. Pitch B: A family hires a personal chef, the chef sneakily steals items from their house covering his tracks no matter the cost. Pitch A seemed a little cliche to us at first but it was a very feasible idea that could still be loads of fun and really well produced. We found that it would be simpler to use effective music in a thriller as there are loads more films and media work using suspenseful music. We also had a slight plan as to where we would film the sequence, Oleta State Park. We also had the camping equipment necessary for the props and costumes allowing our budgets to be put towards other things. I also enjoy being out in the woods and it would bring the mood up around the production team. Pitch B on the other hand I found to be pretty unique ...
