Filming Again!

 Today we filmed again! Since we didn't film last time we planned on having another day to film. We planned to meet closer to the evening so we could shoot the nighttime scene we had planned. Pedro and I met up at Nicole's house around 5 pm. Before it got dark, we filmed another scene we needed in the park. Pedro was supposed to be a mugger so Nicole did his makeup to make him look dirty. After, Pedro drove us to the park, we went over the lines of what we would say. Pedro had to go over his lines a couple times because he couldn't remember a lot of them. We had to reshoot the scene a couple times because both of us kept messing up. Nicole also kept laughing while she was recording so we would have to stop and start again. Once we had the scenes we needed, Pedro drove us back to Nicole's house. Once we arrived to Nicole's house, there was still some light outside so we decided to wait it out because we needed it to be dark. While we waited, we ate some snack and just sat around. Nicole's little brother came home so we played around with him for a little while we waited for the sun to set. While we were playing around we lost track of time and I pointed it out. Pedro and Nicole also realized and we headed for the door. In our original plan we wanted to get one of Nicole's friends to use their lights as we were filming. They wouldn't be police white and blue lights but they would be close enough. We were unable to get it so we opted to just use a video of flashing lights and have Nicole follow behind me as we filmed. After a couple shots, we were happy with what we had at that point. It was getting late so we decided to all head home.

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...
