Production Blog

 Our group has decided on a thriller genre for our film as stated in different blogs. We have not started to work on our project yet. As we have just recently decided on when to film and the construction of our film. We had talked about what to do from the beginning when we first got this assignment. Our plan was to film and edit during spring break because we would all be free. This has changed due to one of our groupmates. Keemori will no longer be here for spring break so that put a rift in our plans. We quickly compromised on this issue. We decided to film at the end of March before Spring Break. We know that we would need at least two days to film the full video so we decided on more than 2 days. Then we will also have a day for editing as we will meet in person for that. We also have backup dates for reshooting and reediting. These are after Spring Break when Keemori will be back. Filming for this project will need to take place in the afternoon to give off a dark mood. We also need the proper props. We have decided to use fake blood and fake knives as our props. The fake knives are for our safety because we never know what could happen. We do have a song that we want to use for our film. The song is Greek Tragedy by The Wombats. We will need to be sure to reach out and ask permission to use this song. The song will be a great addition to the movie.

Filming Blog for Music Video

     My group and I have not decided when to edit our video yet. Looking back on the filming day it was very fun. I am both sad and relieved about the filming. I feel this way because it was really fun to work with my group but I am relieved we got it done. I had a great time filming especially because we are all friends. We were all in contact and started to plan everything immediately. I feel like filming is better than editing for us because we can't meet up this time to edit. It was a little hectic because the storyboard was not really matching up with our scenes. In the end, we found a way to make it work because we were not going to leave until it did. Luckily, in the end, before the sunset we got all our shots done. I am grateful to be able to work with them because they really know how to get work done. We have talked before about working together for the commercial but we had already paired up. This time we actually got to work together and it was very easy to se...

Genre Research: Action & Thriller

The action and thriller genres have many similarities and differences, especially when it relates to CLAMPS. Action Films Action films tend to use different aspects of lighting such as, three-point, low key, natural, and high key lighting. Like thriller films, action movies contain excessive use of make-up and costumes to make the movie seem and realistic as possible. Not to mention, directors use make-up and costumes to separate normal and abnormal characters within the film. In action movies low-key, high-key, natural, and three-point lighting are commonly used during film. During the editing process, editors of action films are more likely to use graphic and action matches, slow motion effects, and plenty visual effects. Especially in movies like Spiderman, Avengers, and Iron Man. As for camera angles action movies are usually seen with using aerial shots, high angles, low angles, and canted (Dutch) angles. Common camera movements would be pan, tilt, dolly, and crane. Moving on,...

Planning Blog: Scripts

  Writing the scripts was easy for our group.  Our group already had ideas in mind for what we wanted in our film and it all came down to write these ideas in a script.  To create the script our group has used PowerPoint.  Using PowerPoint has made our  scripts  easier  to  read for the group and for the actors.  We successfully made t he  shooting script  go hand in hand  with the sound and dialogue script . The scripts are always very descriptive when it comes to sound, lighting, camera shots, and camera movements.  Not to mention, that there is enough dialogue to keep the movie scenes mysterious and  intimidating.  All that’s left is to film and edit using the scripts and storyboard as our guide.   One of the group members  Anayah  oversaw writing the two scripts, however, everyone pitched in to throw in their own ideas. For example,  Kadia came up with the last scene in the opening and...
