Filming and Editing: Scheduling to film next week

 Welcome back everyone to a new set of blogs. The next few blogs will be on me and my partner, Kendia documenting the filming process. In our planning blog that included our schedule for filming and editing, we decided not to film this week. The reason for this is because Kendia and I knew and felt that it would not have been possible to meet to start filming. Today, I started listening to royalty-free thriller background music. From there I started finding some good background sounds we could use. For our filming location, we are still going to record the whole final task at Kendia's house. Kendia made sure to get permission so that her mom approved that I could come over to film the opening scene with Kendia. It was important to get her mom's permission since Covid 19 is still going around. We will also make sure to still take safety measures. For costumes, Kendia and I decided that when the kidnapper changes into new clothing that it would be all black. For the girl role, she would just be wearing casual clothing and pajamas. Kendia and I still have to pick out the outfits. We also have to decide on who will be the actors for the Kidnapper and girl roles. We hope to film at least once or twice each week. Though it might be hard since on the weekdays Kendia and I are busy with school work. On weekdays, we also participate in religious events so we usually may not have time to record. Regardless, we still spoke with our parents so, that they know we are working on this project and, that they can allow us to meet to film and edit. I also spoke with my mother since she will be the one taking me to Kendia's house. I did this beforehand so that way I made sure it is possible that I can film with Kendia and that I have someone to drop and pick me up from her house.

"The Lazy Song" Music Video Cover

Image
H ey, Everyone and welcome back to another update on our video. We have finally finished the video and added the last finishing touches. As you all know, for this assignment we were allowed to work with a partner or individually. We chose each other since we were in the same class period and thought it was best to have someone to work with. For our music video project, we chose to do a cover of “The Lazy Song” by Bruno Mars. We choose this song since we can relate to being lazy, procrastinating, or the feeling of just not wanting to do anything. We did have some things in our way, however. Kendia’s mom had changed her mind about letting her come to my house after we had already done our storyboard. With her being at her cousin's house we had to rearrange some of the days that we were going to film. Regardless of that, we were able to meet up and finish the music video. In our research stage, we noticed that many people copied what was done in the original music video. They had eith...

Starting the final task

Hi, my name is Melissa Meme, and welcome😊. These new set of blogs will document my partner and I's journey as we work on this final task. Last time, I worked on a music video before the winter break. In this new project, we are to create an opening scene for a movie. This time I would be introducing myself all over again. I am currently an 11th grader who is attending Fort Lauderdale High School. I am a Haitian American who is somewhat fluent in Haitian Creole. I am plan in the future to work in the medical field. So far I enjoy this class and love that I am learning all about films and the process. I choose to work with my best friend Kendia Banks. We partnered up for all media group projects together last year so it made sense to work with each other again for the final task. We are best friends and I work well with her so it was good to know we can group with those we knew. Seeing this is our final task we can then push each other to get work done. I also choose her because the...

Genre Research: Action

  Earlier this year, I had to create a PowerPoint on a genre of my choice. We were also given the choice to work with a partner for this project. Hence, for this project, I worked with my best friend. I talk to her every day and we are in the same class, so this was the best option. When picking our genre, we chose “action” as this is the type of genre we seem to watch a lot in the past year in movies and shows. When doing our research we watched and looked at trusted websites to acquire knowledge of what methods or materials are used to produce action movies. We researched what lightings are used in action movies. We also researched the angles that are used in action movies. We also researched the camera movements, mise en scenes, and sounds involved/used in action movies. From the information we obtained, some common lighting in the genre of action is low-key lighting and backlighting. Low-key lighting emphasizes dark tones and shadows and creates an ominous and suspenseful mood....
