Production Blog: Foundations for My Music Video

 

Hey bloggers today  I started the production of my music video. Very excited and nervous but hoping me and my group do well. To start it off our group got together to pick a song that would match with our story. After we picked the song I did some research on the song and other songs similar to it. I looked at other music videos for some inspiration. I looked at the different effects, camera angles, sound affects, and more. Doing this made me get some sort of a understanding of the standard my group would need to meet. Our next step was to figure out where we would be filming this video and of we are going to be at multiple locations. We also figured out a schedule so we could meet up and work on the video. We also went and figured out the props we would use in the scenes. We had to know where to get the props and see if they would fit in well. Then we started thinking about costumes for the roles people would play in the video. Then we discussed the more complicated things. We would brainstorm ideas of the story. We had to start getting good at editing for the video. We made sure to make some backup scenes just in case. We also discussed who would be recording for us and what device we would use to record. We wanted to use a good camera so we could make the quality of our project better to be watched.  Since we were planning to use a dog we also looked at outfits we would maybe buy for the dog. This process was very hard because there so many good ones to choose. Lastly we just talked about extra measures we would maybe have to make. Such as skipping an event to work on the project as it needs to be done with teamwork. After we figured that out we had smooth ideas about this project. But 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 ...
