Production Blog

 Good morning bloggers I'm coming at you today with a much earlier blog, at least I'm starting it early today. In this blog we talk about the certain problems we ran into while preparing to film our music video. With three group members you have three different schedules. As well as three different locations and other different moving parts. So as you can imagine the first problem our group ran into was finding a weekend in which we were all available to start filming. Weekdays weren't going to happen because Tiyanna had practice afterschool. The 22nd and 23rd were my birthday weekend so those also weren't available. Suse works on the weekends Saturday mostly so it was safe to say that finding time wasn't gonna be easy. However towards the end of the month a lot of our schedules would begin to clear up and we were hopeful to begin filming. The second issue we ran into was were we lived. This problem however was solved easier than the first because me and Suse were only a few miles apart. Tiyanna wasn't as close but only a city or so over. So we agreed for Tiyanna to come to us and we start filming at the locations we needed too. Some scenes however we knew would more than just the 3 of us. Really just the two of us since Tiyanna would be recording the music video while me and Suse did the acting. We agreed to bring in friends and even some of Tiyanna's many siblings and cousins to the scenes where we would need them namely being the party scene. We had many problems but we were able to find compromises for them that in theory should work. Now all we had to do is actually start the filming. Which will another blog on it's own fellow bloggers! Thank you so much for reading today's blog and until next time.

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 go...

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...
