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!

  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 Blog

 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...
