On Set: Tower Shops

     

 



          Hey lovelies! And welcome back to my blog. As promised I will be going in to what I did once I got on the location to film. While getting to the location I got nervous because I was getting late. The agreed film time was 8:30 but due to a situation at home I was not able to get there until 8:50. When texting my group mates of my location, I felt immediately better because two of my other group mates we already late. 

       Before getting there, I was in charge of acquiring the props we needed for the video to film. In my car, I packed a small bouquet of flowers and 3 balloons for a valentines shoot. At first I thought that I could just leave the balloons in my back seat to avoid any problems while driving. That ended up changing because I had to tie the balloons closer to the flowers so they would not be moving around as much. 

      Once I got there, I met up with one of my groupmates to start coming up with ideas of where and how we were going to film. Then the rest of my group came in at separate times around each other. Once we were all gathered, I quickly went over our scenes and what we needed to film it, just to make sure we had everything. 

      There was going to be a cake scene where we needed cups and knives which was my job, but I had forgot having lots on my mind. So after apologizing to my group, I quickly looked up the nearest Dollar Tree and bought our remaining materials. 

       When I returned, our extra to help with filming was there (we needed a guy to make the break up video complete). As we were filming, I was mainly directing our "actors" and one of my group mates who was filming on how she should film. On of my favorite scenes of that day would be the car argument scene which really surprised me because I let them have freedom on how they wanted to act in it.

        Over all this was a very fun experience and we had so much to laugh and talk about. It was such a hot day as well, but that's all we get in Florida. Well that's all for now lovelies! I'll see you all in my next blog where I'll go over the techy stuff. See you then and 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??

Image
       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...
