Production in The Making: Lights

   






      Hey lovelies! Welcome back to the blog it's great to see you again. Last time we spoke, I gave you all a little sneak peak of what I had in mind for my upcoming commercial. Today, we're diving deep into the nitty-gritty of how I'm bringing this whole thing to life, and I can't wait to show you the ropes. 

    This blog post is all about the lights, camera, action, and cut you know the whole filming shebang. I'll be kicking off my very own four part series and the first part is "lights" which is essentially about the media I'll be using. 

  In my commercial, I've made some exciting decisions about the pictures and songs I'll add. Let me spill the beans: I'm incredibly excited over the song I picked. Over the weekend, I went on a music hunt to find the perfect vibe that would match the fun and liveliness that I want to be present in my commercial. I listened to a ton of songs, for fun of course, but then, as I was scrolling on TikTok I came across a song I love so much and it definitely triggered some nostalgia. The song was "Got to Be Real" by Cheryl Lynn.

   Remember that trend last year where people introduced themselves to this song? I thought it was adorable and so cool, I really wanted to join in but it just didn't happen. Well, guess what? Now, I'm thrilled that I'll be able to create my own version of it all for you. To match this lively tune, I'll be using some comical pictures and videos. If I look very well, I know that I have some hilarious clips with my siblings, so I'll pick one that captures our family's fun and loving spirit. 

Of course, I'll still add a picture of myself and my adorable cat in the mix. Stay tuned, lovelies, this commercial is shaping up to be a blast. I'll see you later and remember to 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...
