Production Blog: Camera

Hey guys and welcome back to my blog. We are still continuing the journey for our final task. Today I want to talk with you about a bump in the road we had. One of the bumps in the road we had was about finding equipment. The specific equipment we were trying to find was a camera. We wanted to film with a camera because we thought it would be more clear. Our thought process was if the camera was more clear our opening sequence would look more professional. As I thought about it, I thought more about how we couldn't use my camera. The reason we couldn't use the camera is because the lens was cracked. This became a problem as we really wanted to use a camera and mine was broken. The next person to go to was Mya's brother. So, Mya called her brother but this led to another problem. The problem was that Mya's brother wouldn't be in town at the time we wanted to film. Our next idea was to rent a camera from school. We were trying to avoid this because the school cameras are kind of confusing. But, we didn't know anyone else with a camera that would be easier to use. So, we went to the media room at our school. Once we got there we asked our teachers to use one of the camera's and they said yes. So, we have a camera to film with and now we just have to figure out how to actually use it to perfection. Thank you for reading and come back and watch the journey continue BYE!

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...
