That’s a WRAP!


 Hi everyone and welcome back to production with Marvin. In the last blog you read from me if you’ve been keeping up, my group and I finally started filming. This was after figuring out a perfect date that would work for all our group members with their schedule and stuff. But, being that this movie was longer, our filming actually rolled over into two days of filming and not just one. Another reason for this is that we spent lots of time on the car crash scene and we all had to leave at a decent time for homework and other obligations. So , since this was day 2 of filming we did the same routine as last time from school to location. We all ubered to Andre’s’ house from our school and split the costs. Now , I was playing the main character for this movie and Kyra was playing the supporting female character due to us not wanting to have to depend on even more people and work out their scheduling conflicts. I would say it was pretty hard because this film was more serious so we would keep stopping and pausing due to breaking character. This was another reason why filming rolled into 2 days. So , from yesterday we had already filmed all the car crash scene, and we filmed the at home care (hospital) scene. Yasmin brought some props and I also went to the room dedicated to the medical field in our school and borrowed some things to help with the hospital scene. So, now majority of what we had to film was the intro stuff with the dinner, etc. So, first what we had to do was prepare the house for that scene. This involved us closing all the lights and curtains and etc. This was because for this scene, we wanted to “set the mood” in a way being that this was supposed to look romantic. We all helped Yasmin put out all the props like the candles, rose petals, and etc. We ended up filming for about two hours that day and I was getting pictures as we were filming for the website that I was in charge of. This was because for the website I wanted real time pictures so the audience can see the hard work. But, THATS A WRAP ON FILMING, we did it, come back as now we are in post production stage!

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...
