Production Blog: Peer Review

 Hey guys and welcome back to our blog! In my previous blogs, you heard that I filmed. Then, you heard about me editing my short film on CapCut. Next, you heard how I had to re-film and had to cut out some scenes. Today, you are going to hear about peer- reviewing. What this means is I got my friends to look at our movie. When they look at my short filmed, I asked them to give their thoughts both positive and negative. In total I got two people to peer review my short film and I'm going to tell you about that. So, first let's talk about things that were said about the titles. First,  most really were in love with the titles and they thought that the titles matched the genre perfectly.  They also thought that the titles were really unique and something they haven't seen while still being "on genre" and they liked the effects matching the movie title . But, while that was said from one of my friends there was another one of my friends who had an opposing view. That friend thought that the titles didn't match the genre. They said that while it had that blood dripping aspect to it, it didn't really give off scary vibes. They thought that it was like horror genre but made for children and thought it looked cute more than scary. I decided to keep this in because my group-mate and I ultimately liked it. One of them thought that there were too many titles. They thought that while they understood it was an opening scene the titles seemed way too back to back. They also thought that I needed to make the amber alert part "more clear" but other than that everything else was positive. Thank you guys for reading my blog, be back the next time when I make final re-edits.

 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...
