Props to You!

 




    Hey lovelies! I'm glad to see you here once again! In this blog, I'll be going into all the props we used to film our opening sequence.

    I'm gonna start with what we used to film. On the day of our filming, we agreed to use the best phone on set since everyone had iPhones. We know that iPhones have a reputation of good camera quality so it didn't seem like a big issue. Although I had the latest version there, I had a camera lens protector on that was actually cracked into various pieces so it made my back camera look a bit weird. Back story on that, I do not clearly remember what I did for that to happen lol. But all I know is that I'm thankful that I had it on cause if not something may have actually happened to my camera. 

    With that my phone was automatically disqualified. So we went with another group member who had an iPhone 13. I gotta say filming on these phones is so convenient, it's the only thing I've used to film on and it is very adaptable. When it comes to props that we used on set, we had to get creative because we were in my friend's house.

    During our planning, we already had in mind of some props that would come into play. The first one was going to be the use of her TV to play a movie. With our opening scene being a mystery film, we wanted to play a similar vibe but ended up going with the Equalizer. I believe to have heard of that title before but I had never watched a lick of it until that day. I can't lie it is a very interesting movie and it's a series which makes it even more captivating.

    Then we moved on to the star of the show, the prop that would claim the victim's life. I don't want to say too much yet so I will just say that this prop was something that you use in the kitchen. It required me to drink water and that is fine as long as it isn't tap. Lovelies guess what my friend ONLY had... yep tap water. That made me feel a bit uncomfortable but it was fine because I did not have to actually drink it.

    The last prop would be in the bathroom. I have go to say this might just be the worse prop ever. It was a toilet... yes I am not kidding. Imagine how disgusting that was lol. I will not tell you what that was for you just have to see it when our film is out. 

    Thank you as always for reading! I will catch you in the next one! 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

      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...
