Production Blog: Final Task



Hey guys its your favorite blogger coming in with a new blog!

Today we finished filming all the scenes we couldn't finish on our last filming day.

Since there was only a few scenes left, great care was taken to make sure these last few scenes were shot perfectly.  The scenes that were filmed today included any and all flash back and running scenes. This was very difficult due to location and schedule conflicts but eventually we decided on a good day to film. Some of these scenes were shot at a church since that would make the flashback scene seem more realistic. It does this by providing a location change different from any of our previous known locations like Target of Giovanna's home.

We kind of got this out of a random place though, I really didn't think we needed a different location but after some thought I think it makes sense. By having this scene take place in a different location it would make it seem that our protagonist could not have known what would happen. Seeing as he would not be anywhere in the vicinity at the time of when the scene was taking place. Once we reached the church we had to find a good place that had great lighting so the scene wouldn't seem to dreary or too vibrant. It didn't take too long to finish the flashback scene if anything the scene was probably around five minutes.

Since Madelyn our, our teams Filmer aka the person who filmed the majority of these shots, was in charge of angles. She decided to film at a medium close- up, this was a great idea as it helps the viewer to focus on the character. It also helps that if anyone would walk behind us while filming they wouldn't really show up on the camera.

After filming we went back to Giovanna's house to film the other half of the flashback scene from Giovanna's point of view. For this Madelyn our tech person thought it was best to do a split scene for this scene and of course it was a great idea.

While at Giovanna's house we also filmed the running scene where our protagonist would run after seeing our antagonist. This was a bit more difficult since there was a reflective surface close by that would keep showing either Madelyn or one of us. Which of course would ruin the viewers experience as well as the magic of production.

 Hey Blog its me Shadae I finished my first project last week and I am excited to start something new! Today I will be starting on a project with two of my friends who are also my classmates. I am working with Madelyn and Giovanna and have known them for around 1-2 years each. I met Giovanna in freshman year in my study hall and I met Madelyn last year in my English class. There are many reasons as to why I wanted to work with them on this project. One of the main reason I want to work with them is because last year when we all shared a class we would always do group projects  and activities together. Which lets me know that while we are doing this project we will be able to work effectively. I also think that as we have all done so many projects together that I have firm understanding of their strengths and weakness when it comes on to certain aspects of the  project. They both are very goal orientated, organized, and hard workers which is one of the reasons I wanted to ...

 Hey Blog is me again coming in with a new blog! We have reached the next step in making this project which is planning. Today I will be talking about the planning blog, the planning blog will talk what we prepared so far the music video. This blog will include the props, location, filming schedule, possible future plans and costumes for the music video. The location we will be mostly filming the music video is at the library. We thought this would be a good place to film as it matched the genre the best for our music video. Some other locations we planned to film include downtown Florida and the beach. The reason for this because there are a lot of scenic places in those regions that would be perfect for filming. For costume we decided a hat and sunglasses would be the major part of the costume since the lead who will be singing will wear the hat and glasses. As for the clothes it will be more casual as most of the scenes take place in a casual environment. For props we would deci...

Hey blog its me Shadae are you surprised, maybe not! Today I went to cap cut to finish my project and the worst thing had happened my commercial wasn't saved so the commercial was gone. I was beyond devastated so I decided to start making the commercial again. Luckily I have gotten used to most of the features on cap cut so it didn't really take me long to find the photos again. Then something you probably guessed would have happened well happened I change my mind on the pictures again. Well only one really I realized most of the videos were of me in one place so I decided to change he picture of me there for something else. The picture was of me at a restaurant with my family of course this was taken before they served the food. Then it was time to add the final piece of the puzzle to the commercial, the music. Earlier today I had asked my friend to help me with it and she did although it did take a while to get the hang of it. Also I found out where I could find the transitio...
