Production Blog

 Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog! Today I will be discussing a minor setback my group had. We specifically had a setback when ti came to filming schedule. My group mate Mya couldn't film because of something important she had to do. What Mya had to do that was important was take an important test.  This test is called the Scholastic Assessment Test. It is more know by its acronym the SAT. This is a test for entry into colleges in the United States. So, being that Mya is a senior she had to take it to prepare for college. I was just thinking maybe we can film later that day. But, when I thought about this I didn't think about the length of the test. I also didn't think about if Mya would be up for it.hThe test lasts about 4-5 hours. Also, when Mya took the SAT, she was specifically assigned to a school to take it . This school Mya took it at was pretty far. It was specifically far from the filming location where we wanted to film. I don't have a car so Mya would've first have to drive from her SAT. Then she would have to pick me up from my house after taking the SAT. Then we would drive to the filming location. I also didn't think if Mya would be up to film after taking the long test, so we'll film another time. Thank you for listening everyone and can't wait for you to read next week.

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.

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...
