Production Blog; Filming on a Saturday

 This morning, my mom took me to Nicole's house. I had to wake up very early to be there early because I had to be at work at 1. It was a very long and stressful day but we had to get it done. I got to Nicole's house at around 10:30. Nicole changed into her outfit and we began talking about which scenes we would do first. Since I took the role as the "boyfriend" in the video, I had to bring an extra change of clothes so Nicole and I decided to film those scenes first that included the "boyfriend".  Everything was shot on my iPhone and I still have every scene, even the bloopers. My partner and I have to go through them together when I see her again to pick out the ones that are going to be used. After shooting the "boyfriend" scenes the only outfit change I did was take off the hoodie I had. Most scenes were shot from the waist up so it was unnecessary to change the entire outfit. For most of the scenes they were all shot in my partner's backyard which is very large. One scene we needed was to be shot from a window. At first neither my partner nor I knew how to shoot the scene, but Nicole has a ledge just outside her window that we could use. She hopped outside her window and recorded the scene from my phone. In the storyboard, that scene is in later shots, but since we were going to be shooting the rest of the scenes from my house and that scene would not be possible to shoot. Nicole and I looked over each scene after we shot them to see if it was necessary to shoot again. Many of the scenes were awkward for both Nicole and I because it involved hugging and we are not very affectionate with each other. Even though it was awkward, my partner and I got it done. Now, Nicole and I just have to shoot a couple more scenes and we will be done. My partner will come to my house during this week and everything will we done soon!

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...
