Back on Track (Filming)


 



    Hey lovelies!! Welcome back! I know my last blog was left off on a little cliff hanger. SO this is the moment you've been waiting for. What happened and how did we resolve it?

    With one person not being able to make the filming site and the other person feeling disrespected this caused a lot of riffs between the group. There were some conflicts that caused a weird wedge in the group. Some words were exchanged in private that I knew wouldn't be productive and would hinder the production and film process. 

    Now that our first date was put behind us, it was now time to schedule another date. We went back to the scratch board and started to conspire. This time it was harder because of all the tension that was caused through it. Each member of my group had to hold back what each other thought and focus on a date to film.

    Eventually we chose another date and got focused on how we were going to get there. The location we chose to film at which was a group members' house was going to be a bit of a distance for me. So I had to start planning ahead and know how I would be getting there. The group member whose house we would be filming at had initally agreed to taking us there being that she had a car that she drove to school. It just so happened that on the days leading up to it her car had an issue and we most likely still would not be able to use it. Either way she reassured us that she would be able to fix it and take us to her house.

    Knowing that, all my worries about getting there faded and I was sure of what I was going to do the day of. Now getting to the night before that same group member decided to say last minute that she would not be able to take us to her house with her car. The unfortunate thing about it is I was asleep at the time she sent that. When I woke up, I had no idea what to do I was just shocked and confused. 

    I quickly made plans to drive to school even if I would get in late. Which is what I did, if I had not done that our filming would have to be postponed again and I would not like that myself.

    Whew what a doozy! Thank you for reading up to this point. We make a pretty good team right? In my next blog I will go into detail on what we did during our filming date and how we were able to wrap it up. Remember to stay fabulous! And I'll see you in the next one!!

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...
