Production Blog: The Start of Production


 Today, my group and I talked about the days we would film our last film. Since Nicole, DJ, and I all have job, we have to coordinate our filming days with our work schedules. We are all very dedicated to this film so we have all agreed that if it is necessary we will take the day off of work and meet up to film. During class, I had my work calendar open and Nicole had the regular calendar open so we could see all the days of the month. DJ has a band tournament on some weekends and Nicole has to go to a concert which is a conflict in our plans. We are a good group that works together so we are able to work around this problem. We came to the decision that we would film on the 13th and 19th of March. If any other days are needed to film, we have all agreed to leave straight from school and go film. Since we are filming at Pedro's house. Pedro has to make sure it's good with his parents and get back to us. If we are unable to film at Pedro's house, we have a backup plan to film at Nicole's house. My group and I planned our times of filming of both days accordingly. On the 13th we would film in the morning, or midday since the sun is out longer due to Day Light Savings, and on the 19th we would film in the evening. These times of filming make it easier for all of us in case we have to work or have something else planned during the day. We do not plan for this to take up most of our day, but we are ready to if we need it. During this time we also talked about what we would be wearing while filming. Since this is supposed to be a get away/ vacation, we agreed to just wear regular clothes such as shirts and tank tops. This is also convenient since we do live in Florida and this is what we wear on a normal basis. Finding things to wear at home or even finding something at the mall will not be too complicated. This is the best time to film something of this scenery because it is almost Summer time so it is not too cold out the point where we would be freezing while filming this.

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...
