Production Blog-Choosing my pictures

So today is when I am going to start putting my video together. I am starting to organize all my pictures and videos into a photo album on my phone. This is what I use all the time to sort through all my photos and find which of them is post worthy. I usually get around 7-10 photos but for a commercial about me I knew I would need more content. So I was less strict on myself on what I should add to my commercial video. So First I gathered inventory on photos and short videos I would want in a commercial. Something I had to keep reminding myself is that this commercial was about me. So I should be sure to express myself well in my commercial. A small problem that I wanted to make sure didn't phase me was music. I wanted a song that I could use with multiple different looks and pictures. So a not too crazy hype song or too loud rock or alternative song. Luckily for me in rap and R&B there are many different diverse sub genres that I was very familiar with. They would help me find a song perfect for my video and perfect for me to express myself effectively and school appropriately. Even with this I still had the problem of choosing the perfect photos. I then chose to take some new ones to help add to my small list of videos I had. This was definitely a viable solution for my dilemma because I took them with the commercial in mind. Making the entire process a lot more effective in helping me make my commercial. Using certain lighting and angles would help later on with the musical aspect. Which is something I'll get into more in detail about in my next blog. For now thanks for reading and see you next time fellow bloggers.

CCR blog part 1 (podcast)

Hello everyone. Welcome back to the podcast.  Today we're going to answer some questions that you all sent me. So the first question today will be about conventions learned in our project. Within our video filming process we learned a lot about different conventions such as high angles, tracking shots, and a variety of other shots like being shot, middle shot, MCU shot, medium long shot and close up shot. Bring our filming process you also learned about the importance of lighting and sound within our genre of thrillers and a lot of thrillers that we in my group watched, we notice how lighting and sound really played a role in building up suspense and drama and even fear in some cases. So we were able to, we made sure to utilize that in our video.  More specifically, we used tracking shots, high angles, medium shots, meaning close ups and medium long shots, most commonly in our video that I think would really help drive home and let you know viewers understand what the image going f

Film Day 1 (Production Blog)

 Hey Bloggers! welcome back to another blog. Today we get into film day 1. I will go in depth on the day and the events that took place. As well as why this blog is even titled film Day 1. Why not just Film Day you ask? Well lets get into it. First off I want to say that this day was very productive. We got lots of the movie done. All outside scenes were done first as they needed sunlight. Unlike last time we didn't record the film in order of storyboard this time. We film based on importance of scene and location. To bring up an example that I used earlier the outside. All the scenes that showed the sun out or needed sunlight. Had to be completed first. Because if the sun went down, we couldn't finish the scene. We did this to prevent the need for a film Day 2. But obviously that didn't work out. We did however, like I said earlier get lots of important filming done. We ended up getting around 23-25 of the scenes done out of 30 for our storyboard. Believe it or not the sce
