Production Blog

 On our last day of production, my partner and I headed to where we needed to take our last few shots. My partner took all of the shots while I was the actor who modeled for the different takes. My partner and I stayed in the half circle which is where we took all remaining shots that were needed. My partner recorded the first scene where I held both of my Crocs over my shoulders as if I was swinging a bag that was too heavy. The second take was the dancing scene. It was very awkward for my partner and I to randomly dance in our Crocs in front of people but it was done. For that shot, I sent up my phone so both my partner and I could be in the shot. I saw someone pass my partner and I that was wearing a pair of Crocs and asked them if they would like to be in the commercial and also reassured them that there face would not be in the film. My partner and I looked over the film footage on my phone to see if everything was to the liking of my partner and I. Since everything was recorded on my phone, I favorited all of the shots that are going to be in the commercial so it would not be heard to find the videos when editing.  Since this was the last day of filming, my partner and I made sure to check our storyboard to make sure we had all the parts we needed. During the previous day of filming, I forgot to bring my Crocs so my partner was the actor in all of the shots that were taken and I recorded everything. On this day of filming, I was the actor with my Crocs and my partner was the one who recorded everything of me. My partner recorded the shots of me in my Crocs, but I self-recorded the dancing scene with both my partner and I, and I recorded the extra person in the shot dancing.  After recording, my partner and I sat down and talked about if there was anything more we could film but there was not. I watched through the videos one more time to make sure everything was perfect and it was. My partner and I agreed that there was no more we could do unless there was time to start editing the film. Neither my partner or I know how to edit videos so I researched some good websites that would be easy enough to use. I have not started editing yet, but that will be done next class.

Let's Talk

As seen in the last blog, you know that my team and I were unable to film. We were unable to film because Pedro didn't feel well so we just cancelled the entire day. Since we cancelled everything there wasn't much for us to do so we waiting until we got back to school. Today we were able to meet back up in class to talk about what we needed to do. In class we talked about why we cancelled since Pedro didn't tell me why and what we did during that day. Since we have a long period we took a break in between to do other things. Once we realized the time, we decided to talk about the upcoming plans for our film. The part that takes us the most to come up with is the date. Since Nicole and I have jobs we have to coordinate our schedule, especially our weekend schedule since we are usually jam-packed. I don't know much about Pedro's schedule since we don't talk much outside of school. We know for sure Pedro doesn't have a job so he shouldn't have a problem wit...

Gente Research (Comedy)

     My group and I are also researching comedy. As much as we want action, we also need to laugh. A comedy would also be a lot easier for us since we can just be ourselves. Comedy movies have a lot of close- ups, pans, long shots, and zooms. Close ups allow you to lead your audience into a more intimate setting. You can literally bring your audience closer to the action. And it emphasizes the importance of what we see. But as the push continues, it all breaks, letting viewers know they're watching a comedy movie.Long shots  give an overall context to the scene and usually lets viewers know that what we’re seeing right now isn’t the whole picture... until it zooms all the way out. Static shots, or stand still shots, build suspense. In comedy movies it allows room for the characters to correct themselves or something, Almost like a "wait for it" moment. Zooms emphasize expressions shown throughout the film. Props used in comedy films range from nothing to everything- ...

Research Blog for Music Video

My partner and I are making our music video on “Let Me Love you” by Mario. Usually in R&B songs like this one, the audience would see a storyline. The audience sees the conflict or whatever is happening in the story and the singer trying to get the main character's attention or singing to the main character, unless they are the main character.   In R&B videos, the singer, if it's a male, is usually seen wearing baggy jeans and baggy tee shirts. It's a casual outfit that was very popular in 2000's fashion. In R&B videos, the  women tend to wear basic 2000's fashion, jeans and crop tops, button ups, berets, off the shoulder shirts, and others, all paired with denim, since denim was so popular back then.   The lighting varies in videos, but it depends on the vibe and scenery of the video. Most videos have dim lighting, but some scenes have bright and direct lighting. Other videos can be completely bright or dim, it all depends on the mood.  The ac...
