Production Blog: Finishing the Filming for My Music Video

 Hey bloggers I have some great news!  As you all know I've been working on my music video with my group for the past month or so. This week we finished the filming part of the project. But it wasn't anything to call an easy process The group faced many challenges but we had to overcome them as a group to succeed. One issue that was out of control was the weather for sure. It was almost like every time we would try to record the weather one just start to ruin everything for us. The dog was also out of control for a certain period of time which made filming very difficult. It was also hard to schedule meets for the group so we could work on the project. This was a big problem because everyone's different schedules didn't align due to sports and other things but it was just very tedious. There was also problems with me and Nicholas having to attend games further North in the state for example Jacksonville which made things complicated. Enzo would always be at the gym which would also mess up the schedule for filming. And we Had to figure out a good time for the girls(characters) to be able to come to film. But after a lot of that annoying process we figured a time that would work for everyone. We got straight to work after that because we needed this video done. Enzo has to wear a completely different set of pants and other things for his part on the second filming. We didn't want to put anything on that would be too much because we wanted things simple for the video. We recorded the scenes of the father and the daughter for the second part which went well. We also made sure to include the other scenes that were planned for the video in there. We also needed up buying some new costumes for the different characters. But that would be 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 ...
