What's Your ETA?

 




         Hey lovelies! It's great to see you again!! Today I'll be going in to further detail about our filming process. You have to definitely know where I filmed and how my group and I decided on it. 

        After my group and I decided on what we were going to film which is a break up video, I immediately brought up the question on where we should film. I live in Miramar and I knew that going to school in Fort Lauderdale, my group mates could possibly live in other areas of Broward County. As my group mates started naming the cities they live in, I recognized that we all live on opposite sides of Fort Lauderdale and none of us live in it. 

    Having other friends who live in Fort Lauderdale, when we hang out we would find a place that is not too far of a drive for us. It can even be considered a midpoint. That midpoint is Dania, which is the first place I suggested after knowing how far everyone lived. Just to put it out there my friends and I rarely hang out because of how busy we are, when we do it is either for a birthday or a study date. Lol we're nerds. 

      That being said, I didn't know many places in Dania that I could go to. I only really knew Dania Pointe which I've only visited once to drop something off to a friend. After mentioning Dania Pointe my group mates said that going there was still going to be a struggle for them, also for filming so that we should find another place. That's when one my group mates mentioned Tower Shops in Dania that another group mate has also been to. So I knew that this would work out since my other mates are already familiar with the location.

     The location was perfect, without having even been there before, it was not a hard place to navigate when I actually got there for filming. Which is what I will be going into in my next blog. 

   Bye lovelies! Thank you for listening again! See you soon 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??

       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...
