Filming & editing: Just an Update


     So for today we are discussing the details of everything going on so far for the film from my perspective. So as you know I am working with a group of girls and we created a pitch that basically is about two girl bestfriends and one of them dies from leukemia. This is a drama film made as a dystopian story. So we have just about everything we need as a group to move on to filming. However, we have really busy schedule's so we do have to do some date changes for filming which we have not yet started because were still prepping for everything. 

    We are all juniors therefore, we needed time to study for our SAT's. Of course we took that time to make sur we were able to get some studying in. everything has been as huge success so far. We do need to finish gathering the props we will be using and due to corona we will have my mother there as apart of our safety team. This means we do have to make accommodations for her work schedule. Everyone has mask and hand sanitizer for the times that we're are not filming and are handling other things behind the scenes.

    We have not stared filming as of yet but we have been brainstorming ideas as seen in our storyboard. We also have not had to make any location changes as of yet seeing as the weather has been playing nice with us. But, I am working on get a reservation for indoor spacing; just in case we have some of these technical difficulties on our filming days unexpectedly. After realizing we made some mistakes in our storyboard we went back to fix things and adjust our scripts a little. It was a little overwhelming but as a group we were able to effectively breakdown the work so that everyone is doing their fair share of work.

    I made some actor changes when typing up the storyboard and informed the girls on my team. I am still waiting on their okay to approve this change as team. I added a new character name Faith she will be playing the role of Kim's cousin. She is a minor part in this movie but she in key to Kim's survival in a way that she s completely clueless of. The next move for us is to work on our music choices and find out what permissions we need to finalize the things we want to do for our film. This is going to be a great film opening.

Production blog: Multiple Exposure discovery

    So its been a while since the last update and things haven't gotten very far but there are some positives that have happened. We were able to pick a location that satisfied most of our needs with out the hassle of needing permission to film and be on park grounds. We thought to see if we could find more actors but it was harder than expected. Seeing as everyone would have to have their own transportation and our filming would have to fit into someone else schedule. This made it harder on us but we kept searching.       So we had someone but the plans ended up changing when that person was no longer available. We understood that sometimes circumstances change. So, now we are all just planning a day to set up and film. This consist of making sure we have the camera set and all phones charged. Also having battery packs for the camera ready.       We definitely can't forget mask for covid-19 protection. An lastly, its key to having a first aid kit on deck for the day to come an

Commercial Blog: Nike Vs. Under Amour Grand Finale

 I thought I would be fine using the Nikkon D3200 camera as this laptop has an SD card slot but the problem I had was that my SD card didn't fit in the slot. During my editing is when I realize that I have another clothing brand appearing in the finished ad. So I took the opportunity the next day to tweak the film so that it finally shows the images of both brands in one to let others know that this is a collaborative promotion. The reason is that it allows a certain message to be shown in the ad. So from my imagination I was able to sum up a few last-minute moments and since one of the actors doesn't own anything from the Nike brand I made a little tweak to allow two different brands to co-exist in my ad.       The two brands I choose are Nike and Under Amour. I would leave it alone if I don't see the logo but I can recognize it on one of my actor's shirts while editing. I plan to dub or add music to the ad to make it fun while the ad continues. Each actor put in a lot

Romance is defined by intimate relationships. In some cases, there may be a twist but at the end the main point in films is about the pursuit of love. Romance is not only its own genre but can also be seen in other genres such as thriller, Comedy, Drama, etc. Common lighting usually seen in romance includes high key lighting in which makes the seen more cheerful due to the brightness and warm colored lighting to create an inviting and mellow mood.
