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 !

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...

Genre Research: Comedy

 Hey guys and welcome back to my blog. Today, I'll continue covering and researching genres with today's genre being comedy.  There are usually very common angles that go across all realms of comedy film. One is the close up, which a lot of directors use to comedic effect. Another is the establishing shot, which is often used to r begin segments. The establishing shots used are also to bring the actors to a new scene with a comedic interaction. Another common one is the POV shot, which is often used during or after the comedic event.  Next, the lights. It depends, but often times are scenes usually light and vibrant to emphasize the comedy, unless otherwise obvious. Acting is vey vibrant, and over the top because a lot of the comedic effect is combined with the actors and the camera to really bring it all to life. Movement is where comedy movies can really shine. For example, if a pole hits a camera and makes it shake to imitate the movement. Props are also really importa...
