Production Blog: Another day of us filming


Hello everyone and hope you all had a great day or week so far. In my last blog, I forgot to mention that Kendia and I suggested to change the name of our opening scene to "Snatched". We came up with this name over the break and we knew that we would have changed the title to something else. So far Kendia and I have been talking on the phone to talk about the project. We filmed today at her house. Today, we couldn't film as much as we want. Today Kendia went over to her cousins house to babysit their sons. I couldn't go right away to her house since I had to wait for her to come home. By the time she did and when my mom dropped me off, we saw that the sun was about to go down. We still filmed the scenes with just my sister. We thought of filming Saturday since Kendia is off and I wont be doing much on the weekend. It is possible we might not film because my mom has to attend a funeral but we will see. In the meantime, Kendia will buy the ski mask once she gets paid so that will be part of her costume. If I have time this weekend I will try to start filming the scenes with my sister preparing to go to school. I can say that this week was much better since Kendia worked just two days. We were able to still meet as plan rather than postponing. We are nearing the deadline so we really need to get to finish filming. I hope that we can continue filming Saturday. Hope everyone is doing well and staying safe. See you in my next blog :)

"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....
