Part 2: Process of our Production

 Hi Media Study Crew, thanks for coming back to another blog! Today I will talk about the finishing steps of my group and I filming our final scenes! Yesterday was the final day, so my group and I completed out scenes. I went back the beach and completed the scenes that we left out on. First, with my group we went back to the area we left on, and started to film again. This time it was easier for my group and I to film and plan because we have got used to the process of filming. 

The idea that we had for our seventh scene got switched slightly, and my group and I ended up filming Michelle and I lip singing on different sides of the wall. This was done by us lip-singing on different sides of a pole and my group member Rose going in a 360 motion around us to film. This took us a few tries, but eventually up getting it the point where we loved the way it turned out. For the next scene, my group and I filmed a scene in the car displaying a bumpy road. This contributed towards showing a bumpy road in the relationship because the relationship is on and off. This was an easier scene to film as Rose only had to film me an Michelle, from the front of the car. The ninth scene we are inputing a video of two kids walking on the beach, as a flashback to display me and Michelle when we were younger. This is because it correlates with the lyrics in the song, talking about not being kids anymore. By this time my group and I took a little break to eat and relax quickly. At this point my group and I felt like we had the process of filming down packed. This is because from the previous time, we had gained much experience, making it easier. The next scene we filmed was also in the car, of me and Michelle holding hands, which was easily filmed by Rose in the back seat. My group and I filmed a scene where me and Michelle walked away from each other in sync. This one was a little more challenging because we had to make sure to record it in the time frame of seven seconds and to make sure to walk away at the same time for the aesthetic of the video. Lastly, to end the video me and Michelle walk away as friends showing an end of the toxic relationship. This was displayed by us coming back together and walking away in the distance which was a fairly easy clip to film. 

Overall, through time the process of filming became much easier for us to do and act out. At first I had some struggles as anyone else would have. This differs now as I feel I am almost a pro at filming.

Thank you Media Study Crew for coming back to listen to my blog, till next time!

Reflection of Commercial

Image
 Hey Media Study Crew, welcome back to the blog of the day. Today I will be reflecting and talking about my commercial and the process. I learned how to use various types of technology in the process of making my commercial. One of these included the features and functions of my phone. Although, I along with many others are constantly on our phones, doesn't mean we know all the features they can do. When I use my phone it is for typical things like calling, texting, watching videos, or looking things up. When making my commercial I learned the more in depth the features my phone was capable of. For example, I found out easier ways to crop videos on my phones and different shortcut features available to me. Along with features on my phone I learned how to use CapCut. Like I have stated in previous blogs, I have used CapCut before. Therefore, I was slightly familiarized with the app, but no completely. Some things I learned on the app were how to flow my audios together, fade videos,...

Production Blog: Change is good!

Hello Media Studies Crew, I am back. Today, my group and I will be going over our previous film. This time, we're considering the prior complaint we received from one of our friends. Although the majority of the feedback was favorable, we are revising CapCut to make it the best it can be. One of her main complaints was the audio. I then (the editor) asked Michelle and me to work together to see if we could make our video sound louder. This led us into a major internet loophole. Michelle searched on TikTok, which has become the new Google. I spent some time looking through YouTube videos for a solution. After what felt like 500 videos, we discovered a solution. On CapCut, they had the option of increasing the media volume, which we did. We also finished evaluating minor matters such as the timing of our videos. We also received additional feedback about a teacher we truly enjoy. This teacher offered us input on how our video's picture compared to others. Our group then reviewed ...

Horror: Research of Genre

Image
Genre - Horror  Common camera angles used in horror videos/movies would be high-angles often used to make characters appear vulnerable, low-angle to make characters look more dominant (often the bad one), Dutch angles are also used to create a sense of imbalance and close-ups are used to show fear on someone’s eyes or show a curvature smile. Common mis-en-scene in horror films are a dark setting in a rural location away from everyone, props often used are weapons such as knives, axes and chainsaws that would create a painful death,   Black, red, grey and brown would all be colours considered for a horror film as they all signify danger and tragedy, m ost people (mainly victims) in horror films look like the are dressed casually but a lot of effort is put into their outfits to show hints of their role and personality in the movie,  t he   weaker characters in the frame are the ones who are opposite the camera on the floor showing how positioning affects how the film i...
