My group and I finally started to film our commercial . We filmed for about one hour the first day we filmed. We had a lot of delay to multiple problems so we couldn't get a lot of stuff done. One of the main problems was that one of the actors in our commercial had a limited amount of time to be with us to do his part of the commercial. His teacher really needed him to be in class so we had only about 15 minutes with him. We were really struggling to figure out how to fix the issue but then I came up with a solution. To accommodate him, we filmed his part first so that we can have his part of the commercial included. We also filmed our sixth scene before we filmed the second, third, and fourth scene so that he can be in the commercial due to his time constraint. Another problem we had was with the costumes. Everyone came dressed up in their costumes and we had all the props that we used in our commercial at school already.  We did run into a problem due to forgetting to come in his costume for the commercial. One of our subjects forgot their costume attire at home and didn't remember until they had already left home. The subject helped us fix the problem. We fixed it by finding extra backup clothes that were already on campus and they matched the costumes we wanted. The costume looked a little large on the body of the subject but we had to make due with what we had. There were also problems with some of the audio. It was very windy this day we tried to film. So, we had to speak more loud than usual when filming. Another problem we ran into was the set where we were filming because the set where we planned to film one of the scenes looked really dirty. We didn't get to finish everything that day so lets hope we finish next time.

Production Blog: Editing Blog

 Hey guys and welcome back to my blog. In my last blog you heard how we finally filmed! Not everything went as we planned but we had to make do. Today I am going to be telling you about the editing process of our film. I actually edited the film on my phone for the most part. The editing process took a very long time, longer than I expected. If I had to give a number, I would say this process took a total of 2-3 hours. But, we knew we had to make up for our filming aspect so I did what I had to do. We edited our short film on this app called CapCut. CapCut is a very popular editing app which I have used in the past. What I mean by this is I love how you don't have to be the most experienced at editing and your edits can still come out great. When editing, the first thing I did was gather the clips. Once I did this, I started to think about all the titles needed. When editing this, I took inspiration from a previous movie I researched. What I did intentionally, I made sure the effec...

Production Blog: Filming Blog

 Hey guys and welcome back to my blog!  Guess what, we filmed! My group mate and I finally filmed. Mya and I filmed at Sawgrass Mall, a mall near both of our houses. Filming took about a two hours in total. We were on a time crunch so we had to hurry . The person we ended up using to play the kidnapper was both Mya and I's friend Joey. We picked Joey because  fit the type of person we wanted to play that character.  But, Joey ended up not being able to come last minute which we started to panic. The main problem we had when filming was finding a location. Specifically , it was hard for our group to find a family bathroom that fit how we wanted it to look. We wanted a family bathroom so that we can all go inside and film inside the bathroom with everyone helping out. We ended up not being able to find a family restroom. We looked all over the mall and couldn't find one and we all started to freak out. But, we couldn't make one appear so we just decided to scrap that s...

Genre Decision Blog

 Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog, today I wanted to share with you my group's decision on what genre our final task will be.  The first genre we considered was a comedic genre and this was a genre we spent a lot of time looking at. When looking at it, we liked how comedy and comedic decision is spread throughout the entire media,  for example, you have the comedic and goofy movements with the camera shaking and going upside down. As we reviewed it more, our thoughts changed about the props and we originally didn't like the use of props but as we reviewed we began to see the comedic purposes that props play and that purpose,  it can be the actor using it to do something silly or really anything, and we also liked how we would use diegetic sound like laughing to get the genre across even more. But, there was a really big dealbreaker when it came to part of this genre and that was the dialogue aspect. The reason this was a dealbreaker is because we thought it...
