It Never Stops

 The filming never stops. We are at it again at Nicole's house to film another scene in our film. Before this day, we did not communicate before hand about what we would film. The only thing we talk about was the time we would meet at Nicole's house. Since the films we needed were during the day and we were all busy in the morning and most of the afternoon we didn't have much time to film. Once we go to Nicole's house we basically got straight to business and talked about what scenes we would be filming. We decided to film the car scenes with Pedro and Nicole before it got too dark outside. Since the time jumped in November, it gets dark pretty early so we had to rush and film. The scenes we wanted to do were pretty long so we had to go over the lines a couple times. I was not in this scene so I did my best to help film from the back of Pedro's mini coop and had the lines opened up on my phone. Some of the shots required me to get an outside angle and since Pedro doesn't have a door in the back, Nicole would have to keep getting out the car and letting me out which got pretty annoying. At some point while we were filming, it started to rain. It was just a light drizzle so we thought nothing about it and kept filming, the rain didn't bother me while I was outside filming. Unfortunately, the rain progressively got harder which made it impossible to film outside and made a lot of noise that you could hear in the film. We sat there for a little bit waiting for it to die down but after 10 minutes and constant rain we decided to give up. Pedro drove us back to Nicole's house and we went back inside. We waited the bad weather out and at that point it was too late to film anything and we were all tired. We decided that it would just be best to film another day and we all went 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...
