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.

Title Research: Get Out

Hey guys , welcome back to my blog! Today, I will be researching the different titles of movies and the titles I will be looking at today come from the movie "Get which I got from the "Art of the Title" website you read about earlier. I will not answer the questions about the opening sequence below.  1. What titles are displayed during the opening sequences? During the opening sequence of the "Get Out" movie many titles are displayed. Specifically the title of the production companies, the title of the movie, the actors and actresses, the name of the casting head, the head of the music for the film, the maker of the music, the costume designer, the editor for the film, the production designer, the photography director, the producers, the executive producers, and finally the director who is also the writer.  2. What images are prioritized in the opening sequences? In this film, the opening sequence the images prioritized seem normal. When watching a movie, you t...

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...

Genre Research: Comedy

 Hey guys and welcome back to my blog. Today, I'll continue covering and researching genres with today's genre being comedy.  There are usually very common angles that go across all realms of comedy film. One is the close up, which a lot of directors use to comedic effect. Another is the establishing shot, which is often used to r begin segments. The establishing shots used are also to bring the actors to a new scene with a comedic interaction. Another common one is the POV shot, which is often used during or after the comedic event.  Next, the lights. It depends, but often times are scenes usually light and vibrant to emphasize the comedy, unless otherwise obvious. Acting is vey vibrant, and over the top because a lot of the comedic effect is combined with the actors and the camera to really bring it all to life. Movement is where comedy movies can really shine. For example, if a pole hits a camera and makes it shake to imitate the movement. Props are also really importa...
