What should we name our movie?

Hey guys and welcome back to my blog, it’s been a while! The last time you were here my group and I were storyboaring for our movie. But now it’s time to start the production since we know what we want each scene of our movie to entail. Since my group and I are going to be marketing this project, we realized we can’t even start the marketing process without a title. So the first step was to find a name for our movie with the project. When we researched how real movie production companies do this. And when we researched this, we figured the best way was to think about the essence of our film. So when we talked it over, we came up with some key words that describe our film. The words we found were “awake” , “dream”, and “wreck”. When looking at the work “awake” we thought about how in the film our main character is awaking from a fantasy life. That also went hand in hand with dream because the lifestyle that our main character was living was not real but a lifestyle created in his dream. But we also thought about wreck because of the car accident scene our group wants to do. But we realized we also wanted to incorporate the music aspect. This music aspect in our film was sort of a repetition of some sort. So, words that we came up with to represent that were words like “hallucination” or “echoes”. The word “hallucination” embodies the fact that the music wasn’t actually being played that the main character kept hearing. But “echo” surrounds that idea because it’s the music that’s being constantly repeating and following the character. Another factor is we wanted our title to be short. So, after talking with the group we decided to combine the aspects of the words we came up with and now our film will be called “Echoes of Awakening”. Thank you so much for reading my blog and be back for more planning as we are entering a new stage : the production stage.

 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: 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...

  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. We will be in the middle of a conversation when Mya walks up to us and has us introduce ourselves. After we both introduce ourselve...
