Scouting


 During today’s production I did not film. However, next class I will film and have everything ready to edit. I looked for an actress who was willing to be apart of my commercial. I showed him the storyboard and he was on board with everything. We exchanged numbers so I could give him further instructions on the commercial. I didn’t film today because I was absent last few classes. So I had to create my storyboard off the idea I had. It wasn’t all of a sudden because I had this idea for a while. When creating the storyboard it was a little hard to picture everything in the correct order. Detail it enough to be good and finalize it. When I got done with it, it made everything easier. The story was clear to follow. I had no trouble explaining it to my actor and telling him how things will go. The only problem that I may have is the background. There were a lot of students running around. I wouldn’t mind them in the background but I don’t want to have a sloppy shoot. The gym already looks dim and dark adding a lot of people in the background, would loose my actor. Sound wise, I can do a voice over or have music over it so the original sound would not matter. As of the brightness that can be adjusted. Everything will be done next filming day.

Getting it done

  When filming it took a little longer that we anticipated. We had to do a lot of retakes to get the right shot and angle.we did a lot of negotiating and talking. The actors that we had planned, unfortunately could not be able to film in time with us. So we had to get last minute actors, they really came to the rescue. After we found our address, we did a lot of talking then walking, which I counted as a exercise. The film was very last minute, and it was kind of rushed. One of our actors wanted to quit mid way of the filming. The actor felt disrespected. We filmed on the bus, and there were a lot of people also on the bus, it was loud, hot and very bumpy. We pushed through and kept hustling. There was a limited amount of space and time but we got it done. At the time we just wanted to get as much film as possible. Throughout the filming we had to make sure everything made sense, recorded correctly in the end added up to the right amount of film. We could have plan better, communic...

R&B Vs. Pop

Image
We actually didn’t know what song to do for a while and it was starting to worry me. Nothing school appropriate and also interesting to me came to mind. We brushed it off for a while and still came back with a blank mind.  After countless hours of video watching, dancing, water breaks, getting into character and “turn that down” We finally found the perfect song for my music video. We  decided to go a little new school,  they wear costumes like baggy pants, long shirts, long chains shades and more. They use props like speakers, fancy cars, party props and more.  Their appearance is usually hip and r&b adding to the overall music video. The score through the music videos are medium to slow paced sounds, meant to make the viewer feel what they are portraying. Whether that’s heartbreak, sadness, happiness and more.  1. Convention and codes in music videos are labels, sometimes editing labels, and symbols representing who they worked with and who they represent....

Title Website Research

Website: www.artofthetitle.com I am researching the Art of the title because I want visual ideas of top-of-the-art examples of opening sequences and what I should have in my film. The site as a whole gives me an idea of what's useful to use. In an opening sequence title design is really important. This is where I am able to grab my audience's attention and keep them hooked. Having their attention helps them to screen out the irrelevant and choose which information will enter. This website is really helpful, it gives a variety of designs from over a hundred different designers and studios. These openings give me more of an idea of how I want to format my titles.
