Production Blog

 Hey everyone I'm back with another update on how things are going. So to start off I was just adding some finishing additions to my commercial. I was doing things like making sure the pictures, videos, and songs were okay. But this week I have been delayed a lot so I will be finishing my commercial on a very tight clock. So I had to do some stuff around the house to help my mom out with things. That was time I could have used to work on my editing. I also had to study for three tests which was pretty time consuming. So I ended up rushing a lot of things which is bad for the quality of the commercial. I also had a family trip planned out so I knew that would take a chunk out of my time. This trip was to Los Angeles and we were going to stay for around 3 days. Knowing this I would have to plan out a schedule to get stuff done before I go. Therefore I got started on my commercial and boy did I have a lot ahead of me. It was going great but then I ended up hitting another point where I was stuck. I noticed I had some things timed wrong in my edits. This brought a lot of concern to me because I thought I had everything ready but now I would have to use more time fixing the issues. So I did that which ended up taking close to half and hour which was valuable time. After that I got started on what I was supposed to be doing originally. Overall I was just working on the finishing touches of my commercial and things like that. But that is really it for what is going on. That is it for this update, 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 ...
