Production Blog: Preparing to film

 Hey guys and welcome back to my blog. Last time you heard from me there was a bump in the production. The bump we had when in our production phase was that we had to push back filming because of unexpected occurrences. Now, today I want to talk about our journey preparing to film. So, first we thought of what would each person wear. When thinking about what each person would wear, we thought about the villain. We know we wanted the villain or antagonist to wear a black hoodie with the black mask. We wanted the villaIn to wear all black including the long pants and the shirt under the hoodie. We already got the mask which you read about earlier. We picked for the villain to wear all black because we felt it gave off that spooky mysterious vibe we wanted to give off for our audience. Also, we wanted the outfit to correlate with the mask and being that the mask is all black, we thought it was a good idea. Also, in these types of movies black is usually associated with the villain. For our main character, we for sure wanted her to wear a dress. We wanted her to wear a dress because we wanted her to look very innocent. The reasoning we wanted her to look innocent is because we want to show a power struggle. We specifically want to show the power struggle between the power of good vs evil. We felt a dress along with other specific clothing would do this. We also thought a dress made sense because we our film is taking place from a night out. For the friend we thought they could wear just what a reasonable person would on a night out to not put any focus on them. Thank you for reading my blog and be back for more, were getting closer and closer to the finish line!

 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. 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...
