Research and Planning Blog

The process I took to pick out my pictures and videos was definitely an interesting one. It was a little tedious to find videos and pictures that were long enough and detailed enough for my commercial. As well as find a song for my commercial that would fit the pictures and videos I had. My biggest problem wasn't having too much media it was however not having enough. I have many pictures however not all of them are of me. Even the ones of me were all similar so I didn't want to many replicas for my commercial. I also wanted a certain vibe to it so the song had to match with the media I chose. My goal was to represent myself and do it well in a school appropriate way. What this project did do was help me utilize a lot of the nature pictures I had been taking over the summer. I had recently become overly obsessed with the sunset and the sunrise. So much so that I have an entire album dedicated to it. I feel like pictures and videos like that will showcase my personality better than a bunch of pictures could. They say more about me and make it easier to make a song about them. I ended up choosing photos of myself in which I was showcasing more of fashion side. As I was talking about in my previous blog I had begun to pick up fashion as a big interest of mine and I saw this as a perfect opportunity to show of some my pictures. I used certain apps like locket, tiktok, and instagram to get pictures that I had forgot about after a while. By using my social media to get extra picture that I saved and forgot about it definitely helped fill in any holes I had remaining. So a tip for my fellow camera awkward or shy people you don't always need a selfie as a way to express yourself. Finally for my song I think I have decided to go with a Brent Faiyaz song as he is an R&B singer which will give a more calm and cool vibe that I want for my commercial. I also really love his music so I think that it represents me well. Anyway thanks for reading my new entry have a good one.

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
