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!

Research: Music Videos Conventions and Codes My group is doing a pop song for our music video. In most pop genre music videos, the audience usually watches people sing the lyrics to the song within the video. A lot of things are subject to the meaning or theme of the song and how the artist wants to get that across within the music video They usually wear costumes that go with the theme of the music video , so for example if the theme of the video involves them performing for a crowd they usually wear nice clothing like dresses, suits, etc. If the theme is midcentury, they usually wear old style clothing like knight armor, long skirts, etc. If the theme is casual, they wear casual clothing like t shirts, jeans, shorts, and sneakers. Props are also usually subject to the theme of the video. If they are performing in the music videos they might have microphones, a microphone stand, and a stage. If it's more midcentury them some props used could be a horse. The app...

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...

Scene One- The first scene will start with Mya opening up the door to the courtroom. She will introduce herself, welcome the viewer to the courtroom, and then go look for the rest of the members.
