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!

  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. The camera will pan around the room to give a full view of the scene. Finally the camera will turn to Charlie and Kai.  Scene Two- The second scene will start with Charlie introducing himself. He would state his name and then, similar to a lawyer examining a witness, will ask Kai to introduce herself. After Kai says her name the camera will pan back to Mya who will go looking for the other members.  Scene Three- The third scene will jump cut to Joey asleep on a patio bench. Mya will walk into frame and wake him up. Once awake he will introduce himself to the camera.  Scene Four- The fourth scene will start with Kyra and I on a different bench. We will be in the middle of a conversation when Mya walks up to us and has us introduce ourselves. After we both introduce ourselve...

Research Blog

 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: 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...
