Filming Blog: Classroom Chaos

 I thought filming was going to be easy and go smoothly with no issue. Little did I know I would be very wrong. When we started our first scene, I was only helping the camera person get the right angles. We got one of our close friend that was in the higher level class to help us since she had no work to do. Once the first scene was completed, it was time for me to act in the second scene. The first several takes went horrible, because I couldn’t keep a straight face while filming. I would burst out laughing almost every take, but I knew I had to get serious. We ran into a big problem while recording. There was another group that planned to film in the exact spot that we planned on filming in. Both of our groups talked about it and the other great let us do a majority of our recording first. Then we let them do what they needed to do. Honestly both of our groups handle it nicely and made sure each other got some filming in. In one scene I had to be filmier from multiple camera angles which was extremely tedious. I had a hard time keeping a straight face, especially in the longer scenes. Even though I had trouble, we still got the in a good recording session. We still have some scenes to record for the next filming day though. I even started to piece the recordings together on a editing app on my phone to see how it was turning out. I sent it to my partner so she could also see. We both agreed that we need to do a lot of editing. Because the video is already 35 seconds long and we still have missing scenes. But for the time being we did a good job and learned a few things today.

Title Website Reserach

  To be honest, when I first heard the about a title design I was very confused! This was the first time I have even heard of that term in film. So when I learned that I needed to include it in my final task, I knew I needed to research what exactly a title design is! I ended up finding two websites that helped clarify. The first website I found was called artofthetitle.com. Finding this website was like finding gold. It has tons of title designs from every genre, decade, and title designer you can imagine! They had title design from some of my favorite movies! Some of the favorites that I spotted were Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Aquaman, and Venom. One neat feature of this website is the many categories it sorts its title designs. They organize them by designer, studio, nominations and more. This makes it easier to navigate their website and conduct thorough research.  The other website I found is called watchthetitles.com. This website is similar to the previous one and ...

Music Video Planning Blog

  Props:     The list of props required for this music video  is  not very long. The main prop needed is a cell phone, as most of the video  is a phone call between the two main actors.   The only other  minor prop that will be needed  is  a picture frame  with a picture inside .     Costumes:     We would like to keep a portion of the 2000’s essence present in the song alive, so our costumes will  try to mimic the clothing trends from that era. This includes baggy clothes and  non-modern brands. Adrian will wear lighting  jewelry, specifically a thing chain and studs, to follow the typical male  get-up  criteria . Slow R&B songs focused more on emotions and themes of love, so flashy items to show off wealth are not  a focus . Adria na will wear  mostly natural-looking make-up , still glam but not  too  flashy. It ’s more natural for her character to...

Schedule: Planning Blog

Image
  Location:   We will be filming at my house (Adriana's). My room matches the description of the room in our script and I also have all the props we need: dolls, teapots, and clothes.  Participants:   The actor for this film will be me (Adriana). The cameraman will be Faith and the editor will be Adrian. I'm probably the best choice to be the actor because all the costumes belong to me and are my size. Adrian is tech savvy and good with editing, so he will be the main editor. That leaves Faith to handle the camera! Health and Safety:   This film has little risks, but there is one. In one scene, we have a tea kettle go off on the stove and we will be handling hot water to get shots of steam. We've researched what the first aid procedure for a burn is and it says to run the burn under cold water and bandage it. We are filming near my kitchen, so we'll have a sink near-by. Schedule: I have band practice every Tuesday and Thursday, with some impromptu practices and ...
