Group Blog

 There's a new group in town! For my last two projects I have been working with Nicole and she is amazing. For this project, we both agreed to work with two new people, Damaine and Pedro. Damaine and Pedro worked on the first project together, but now we have all decided to work together on our last project. After our last film project, we all decided to work together because it would be the best for all of us. Damaine, Nicole, and I all have jobs outside of school which may conflict with our schedules, but we plan to make it all work and film during the week and when we don't have work. Pedro on the other hand does not have a job which makes his schedule very flexible. Another problem we may come across is that Nicole, Pedro, and I are also taking SAT prep courses. These prep classes are only once a week which should not be a problem but does also include homework. Damaine is also apart of the band program at our school. This includes having after school practices that may contradict our plans. My team and I talked everything out and said we are determined to make everything work out. We plan to make this the best film ever. During class time on Friday we were thinking about how our intro sequence would go and how it would run through. We threw around some ideas but didn't set anything in stone. We plan on meeting up and talking about everything when we have a chance which will probably be next class time. We are almost 100% set on horror but none of us know how to act so this may be more complicated than we expect.  We may have some problems with our schedules all together, but we have enough time to work everything out. Even though Nicole and I noticed some problems that the boys had with their last projects, we both stated that doing things last minute and not responding to the group chat messages wouldn't fly this time because this is such a large portion of our grade. The boys agreed and said everything would be fine and we have nothing to worry about. Fingers crossed that they are telling the truth.

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...
