Production Blog: Re-Filming

 Hey guys and welcome back to my blog! In my past few blogs, you heard that I finally filmed my short film and edited it. But, there was a problem. While, we filmed and began editing we still were missing stuff that was vital to the storyline. We still needed an ending. We couldn't film everything the first time because it was nighttime and it was getting really late. When we first filmed, we couldn't find a family restroom. We were contemplating about it but we just ended up deciding to cut that aspect out of the film. But, like I said we still needed an ending. First off, this was kind of hard re-shooting because we had to make sure everything still looked similar. For example, we had to wear the exact same clothes and shoes. Our female characters also had to put their hair in the exact same way. When we re-filmed, we tried filming the ending car scene. To remind you, this was the scene where the kidnapper would jump out the backseat after our main character got in the car. We tried filming this multiple times. We spent probably more than 30 minutes trying to film this when we were re-filming and no matter how much we tried, it didn't come out how we wanted. So we decided to leave the film on a different cliffhanger. We decided to have our main character come out the bathroom and the kidnapper was near her and what makes it a cliffhanger is she doesn't see the kidnapper. We also liked this ending because it still kept in the aspect of her leaving her friend to go to the bathroom. Thank you guys for reading!

 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...
