WHO AM I WORKING WITH?

Hi everyone it’s Marvin and welcome back to my blog! Now, I’m my last blog I got to reintroduce myself to you all but this blog is different. Since I’m in A level media now, I have to do a short task. But when doing a big project like that , you first have to think about who do you want to work with? Well, that’s what this blog is all about , you’re going to learn who I’m working with for my short film project! For my short film this time, I am working with my great friends Yasmin Harebin, Kyra Myers , and Andres Santana. As you can see , this time I chose to work in a quad group. I chose to work with a quad because last time while I didn’t have to do the work alone, it was still a lot just working in a duo. Since this project is 2x double the work as last time , I felt I needed an even bigger group so that the work can be divided more equally between all of us. Now last time , I worked with my great friend , Mya, but I couldn’t work with her because she graduated last year. But , I am just as honored to work with my current group. I’m my group, not only will the work be more divided putting less work on all of us but, it’ll be easier for us to be collaborative for our film. What I mean by that is Andres and I have media studies at the same time and Kyra and Yasmin have media studies at the same time. So , for my last group , Mya and I didn’t have media at the same time so it was sometimes hard to work together because we were in different places. But, with this group I will be able to work with the, actually in class on our project and this will make us not procrastinate as much. Another reason why I’m glad I’m working with this group is because we can all use our strengths and put them together to make the best movie ever. For example, Kyra and I are very good at digital and creative design. This will be good because since this time we have to market our movie, we will come up with creative strategies to ensure an audience for our movie. On the other hand, Andres is very good at filming and editing and This will help us to make sure that our movie has all the genre elements within the editing process that we would want and with the angles we need to film. But, also yasmin is very good at directing she’s going to make sure that our movie storyline makes sense and that we have all the takes we need. With this group, I have no doubt that we will make an amazing film and work together so well while having fun in the process! This is Marvin , signing off !

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. Mya will walk into frame and wake him up. Once awake he will introduce himself to the camera. Scene Four- The fourth scene will start with Kyra and I on a different 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...
