Preparations Blog

My group and I have given each other different things to do. I went searching for costumes I may need for filming. I've gotten black sweatpants, a black mask, and a black hoodie. These clothes fit the criteria our group agreed upon because we wanted our actors to look dark and mysterious when recording time comes around. Our goal is to look as dangerous and creepy as we can with our limited budget as well. So the costumes and props we buy mustn't be expensive at all. The clothes I went shopping for weren't expensive at all so I managed to save some money. I don't know if my other group members went shopping for costumes however I do plan on scheduling a zoom meeting with them on March 13th or March 14th. This zoom meeting will allow us to catch up on all the progress everyone has done. We will also discuss if we need to alter plans or edit some blogs if we need to. After I went shopping for costumes I went online to look for the props we need. Our group wants to use fake blood, fake weapons, large black trash bags, and gloves for props. all of the props we are going to use for the film are safe to use and won't cause any harm to anyone. I noticed that the store Party City sells the false blood and fake weapons we need for a very low price. Walmart also sells trash bags and gloves for a cheap price. Next Friday on the 19th will be the perfect time to go out and buy these items. That Friday is also the day before filming and spring break officially begins. In regards to the filming crew shortage, our group has found a solution. One of the group members named Keemori Hall has confirmed that they have two tripods we can use. We will use these tripods to hold the cameras upright as the camera records our scenes. Now we don't need to go searching for someone willing to help us record anymore.

Filming Blog for Music Video

Image
     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...
