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!

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.

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...
