Process of Producing: Its official!

 How are you guys doing, my Media Study Crew! Today my group mates and I began the filming process of our music video. Today we filmed the first six scenes in our music video. The reason why we didn't film all of them today is because we did not want to rush the process. We want to truly get every scene as to close to perfect as we can, therefore rushing it would not be the best option. For our first six scenes it wasn't a short process but being able to see it start to come together was rewarding. 

For the first scene, we were trying to recreate a deja vu moment within one of our group members, Michelle. This took us a few tries as it was our first scene we filmed, so we had to get used to filming in public spaces. After a few tries we got down the purpose we were trying to convey in that scene. By the time of the second scene, public filming came easy to us. We realized that no one was caring of paying attention to us filming in public, so there is nothing to be embarrassed of. The third and fourth scene took a minimal amount of tries to complete. There weren't many people around in the restaurant we chose to film at, overall limiting the amount of people delaying our process. For the next fifth scene we are doing a split scene so we filmed each individual persons perspective, so we are able to put it into one scene displayed by a split scene. For our last scene it wasn't as important in the acting element, but more in the aspect of us getting the right angle. We wanted to show a over the shoulder shot of Michelle stalking Owens social media account. 

Although my group wasn't able to finish in the first day, we accomplished a lot. We took our time and got to the result we wanted, which is most important. We will come to the beach soon again to film the rest of our six scenes. Reflecting back on this filming day, the hardest part was accommodating a day that worked for all of us. This is because we all all have different schedules, making it hard for us to meet up on one day. We all have different schedules but are able to make time for an important project like this. Overall, this group was a new experience and allowed me and my group to learn different aspects of filming and acting. I am happy with the way things are turning out so far and hope they continue to succeed. 

Thank you guys for coming along with me once again! See you guys soon, Media Study Crew!

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!

Image
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...
