Building the Website!

 Hey guys and welcome back to my blog! The last time you heard from me , you learned my group and I had started the production process for our short film. You also learned the first thing we did was come up with a title for our film which we decided would be “Echoes of Awakening”.  Now, that we are further diving in the production process , my group and I realized we needed to give everyone jobs to make our film successful. When taking into consideration then jobs, we realized we would need jobs surrounding the marketing for our movie. With that in mind,  I was assigned the job as the movie webmaster. This means I am in charge of building the website for our short film which we will use to market our movie. So , when I got this job the first thing that I did was look for website builder services. I looked through a lot of different services and a lot of them you had to pay for. My biggest thing was trying to find a free builder service because we don’t really have a budget for this film so the cheaper the better. After looking, I found many different services but I ended up finding a website builder service that was perfect! The service I found was called “Wix”. This website building service was perfect because not only was it free but it was also very easy to navigate and it helps you along the way as you build it. Now that I found a website building service, I thought about the aesthetic my group and I wanted for our movie. The aesthetic that I ended up going for was a really dark and simplistic type of vibe. I thought this would match the most with our movie considering we are doing a mystery genre. I tried executing this when doing the letters and being really precise with the font choice and the backgrounds. Since we haven’t filmed yet, I worked with what I had and I’ll continue to update as we get more content. As part of this process, I also created social media accounts to promote our movie and added in links to the social medias on the website but while I did the website will continue to be updated. That’s it for now, be back to see our group finally start filming , catch you later!

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...

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...

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...
