Production Blog: Later than Expected..

Hey guys and welcome back to my blog. Last time you heard from me I was in the production process for my final task. I am still in the process and am continuing to write about it. Today I wanted to tell you about a bump we had in the road. We previously made the decision to move up filming and film earlier for multiple reasons. But, today I am going to write about how we had to push the date back but still try to make it earlier than when we originally planned to film. We pushed the date up to film over spring break. But, we had a few bumps in the road. Both my group-mate and I were not able to film then even though we planned to. The reason Mya wasn't able to film is because she had to work on college stuff. Mya is a senior and it is around the time for her to go to college. So Mya had to really spend her time applying for scholarships. She also had to work over the break a lot. She works at a law firm so her job is very important as she is helping lawyers. The reason I couldn't film over the break is just because I was more busy than expected. I had my mom's birthday which she wasn't originally planning on doing anything. But, we ended up spending the whole day out. Mya and I also went to a retreat for another club at our school so our spring break was really packed. Other than the retreat, a lot of the events were unexpected. Thank you for reading my blog see what happens next, this is Marvin signing off!

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. 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.
