Mistakes Happen

 Unfortunately, we were unable to film. My team and I made plans to film some more of our film and we were unable to go through with it. Pedro has recently started a new medication and he wasn't taking well to it. He did not tell the group-chat, he only told Nicole and she texted in the group-chat asking if we could reschedule. To this Pedro agreed and I did as well because I was not up to filming either. When I found out the reason I did not question Pedro as to why he did not just say he was feeling good and I just let it be. I found it weird that he wouldn't just tell us both that he wasn't feeling well but it doesn't matter to me, I was just happy to not have to get out of bed so early. I would have had to get up early because Nicole was having work done in her backyard so we wouldn't be able to film for the time we needed. It was better for all of us since Pedro wasn't feeling well and neither Nicole or I felt like filming. Since we did not film this day, I decided to just hang out with my family. I didn't have work that day because I was prepared to film but it wasn't a problem for me. School, work, and filming has been a little overwhelming so to just have a day to myself was really nice. My team and I texted back and forth to see what other day we would film and we did not come up with a certain date. At some point it was only Nicole and I texting with little input from Pedro. A set date was not set, but we said that we could come back to it later and discuss, possibly in class. After Nicole and I made a plan to just discuss what we would do next in class, we did not talk about filming for the rest of the day. The group chat was quiet for the most part since Pedro didn't respond to anything so Nicole and I texted separately about things not involving the class. Since I was prioritizing my mental health for the most part I chose not to stress myself out about filming since Nicole and I do the most part for this class. Today was just a day of rest. I was thankful for 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...
