Production Blog: Finding the Mask

Hey guys and welcome back to my blog! It has been a long journey with having to research first all the different genres and titles.  We are finally in the production stages of our final task and are about to start with making our film. Today I want to talk with you guys about the first step of our production. The first step of our production was getting props. The props we need for the opening sequence is a mask for our antagonist. We specifically want a black mask for our sequence. We want black because we feel it will represent danger even more. I went to go get props with my group-mate Mya. Mya and I went to get the props from a store. The store we went to was Party City. We went to a party city that was near our house. When we walked in we went to the mask section within the store. When we were in the section there was so many different masks. We found 2 black masks in the mask section that we liked. Because we liked both we were indecisive about which to choose. One was like a cotton black mask and had an opening on the nose. and one was more plastic. Another was a mask with just hole openings. We decided to go with the plastic one because it looked more scary, we thought the cotton gave off more robber vibes, and the plastic was less unexpected. Thank you for reading my blog and be back for more!

 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...
