Production In the Making: Action

 





        Hey lovelies! Thanks for coming back! Last time I saw you, we spoke about the software I was going to be using. It has been going ever so smoothly with CapCut. For today's blog we're going to discuss all of the moves I made to make and am making for this commercial. This is the third part of my 'Lights, Camera, Action, Cut' series and I hope you enjoy reading it just as much as I enjoyed telling you about it. 

       Let's break it down first. The "action" that occurred here was mainly just me scrolling around on my phone to find a photo or video that would best fit for my commercial. At first I thought I was going to include only one of each required piece of media, until I realized that I would need more. Last blog, I went deeper into what I wanted to add which was more of the basic pieces of media. Now I am thinking of going on a broader scale with them.

   To fill up more of the time I am going to add more pictures and videos of my siblings and I. Looking through my phone I found some very funny pictures of us but not many videos. I think we need to make more just for this sake lol. Also I am thinking of giving my cat a little cute photo shoot just to get more pictures and videos of him.

     The best part is that my friends and I are going to be hanging out soon, so I will definitely get some pictures and videos with them. We are planning to go to the Hollywood board walk beach, aka my favorite place so I know we're gonna have lots of fun there. 

    Well, it's been great chatting with you but I now have to get back to work and take more photos and videos. Hopefully my cat stands still during his photoshoot. Whew I think I might run out of storage lol. Thanks for joining me today lovelies! I'll see you next time. Stay fabulous!

CCR Response

           Hey lovelies!! Here is my Critical Creative Reflection (CCR) for my music video. I hope you enjoy the breakdown and my thought process of my music video. Here goes! https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UAiUV59Cq1nhyRPkcbASnOuiJq7cyfPqgJzNnNBVf_M/edit?usp=sharing How does your product use or challenge conventions AND how does it represent social groups or issues? My music video challenges conventions by its use of typical music video conventions to make it look real. It includes pans, shoulder shots, two shots, three shots, medium shots, long shots, and black and white shots. These features are used in a specific way that adheres to the genre of my music video which was contemporary R&B. My music video also being a heartbreak video, there was a big use of over shoulder shots, two and long shots. The over the shoulder shots were able to show a connection between the characters and how they felt towards each other. The use of two shots helped to ...

Not my First Rodeo

Image
      Hey lovelies!   Let me spill the beans about my recent adventures in the world of filmmaking, specifically diving into the daunting task of crafting an opening sequence. Spoiler alert: it's been one heck of a ride, filled with ups, downs, and a whole lot of learning along the way.           So, picture this: I'm a newbie filmmaker, armed with a phone camera, an mission, and not much else. I'm all pumped up to tackle my first-ever opening sequence, thinking, "How hard could it be, right?" Well, let me tell you, it's like trying to solve a Rubik's Cube blindfolded while riding a unicycle.      First off, there's the whole shebang of planning and storyboarding. Trying to map out a cohesive narrative that sets the tone for the entire project? Yeah, easier said than done. It's like trying to connect the dots when half of them are missing.      Then comes the filming part. You've got your actors, your locati...

What Did He Say??

       Hey lovelies!! Welcome back to my blog, today I am going to fill you in to what a classmate had to say about my film.   There has been lots of ups and downs this process of making an opening sequence. To be completely sure of our project, I wanted to get the opinions of my peers. I showed my project to a couple of my friends and this is what they had to say. 1. My acting could use a little work - I do not claim to be the best actress in the world. Neither did I want to be in the lead role but I had no option. There were parts of the film where my acting felt awkward to them. They advised that for the next film I go for a different role. This feedback was good for me to realize things I need to work on 2. The background music created suspense - When my group mate edited the video she included parts of the film where there would be music to complement the scene. The feedback I got was that they were able to understand the mood of the scenes when the music p...
