Production Blog; Talking Besties

 Today my partner and I talked about when and where we were going to meet up to shoot our music video. Since we both have jobs we had to coordinate around our schedules to be able to see each other. I work all weekend but my partner does not so we are going to meet up before I have to go to work. My partner and I will try to shoot as much as we can, out goal is about 6-7 scenes or hopefully all. We are not aiming to do all the scenes so we had to plan another day to shoot. Since all of our blogs are due on the 10th of December and that is the next day I have off, we have to shoot during the week. The plan is so leave from school and go straight to my house. Most of places we need to go to are by my house which makes it more convenient. We are going to shoot the remaining scenes at my house / in my room and plan to finish everything that day. Neither my partner nor I have a car so we have to rely on our parents to drive us places so not everything may go as planned like we wanted but we have our alternatives set. My partner and I talked about shooting the first scene whenever possible for both of us. Since it takes place in a bedroom which my partner and I both have, it could either be shot when both of us are together or when we are home. My partner and I also talked about where we are going to do our car scene since the empty parking lot near my house was blocked off. It was decided that we could just sit in a random parking lot because we do not need to physically drive for this scene. My partner and I both spoke to our mothers to see how we could plan out seeing each other. 15 Since this is for a school project both mothers were very understanding in what we needed to get done. It was not hard to get their approval to meet up and plan everything. My partner and I are very appreciative of our mothers and letting us meet up to complete our project. The last project we had for this class was filmed all in school which made things easier for my partner and I. So now that things have to filmed outside of school things are a little more complicated.

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- like

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 acting thro
