Production blog: The Journey Through Time


     Okay so with the last blog we talked about all the prepping and planning that happened along the way for filming and editing to begin but now we are just in the waiting stages. At some point I fell behind in the blogging but I was able to stay on top of everything and keep up with the dates. I managed to build the stories dramatics and discussed it with the group but since the last time we blogged the group has been out of contact. We have not communicated in that time since school began to get hectic and work plus other inconveniences. Everyday life problems began to get in the way which made it harder for us to stay in touch. 

    The stress really began to kick in this quarter. It is mentally taking atoll on all of us I can see in in the way we talk. I have been very repetitive in questions and I am sure we all are just ready for our spring break to come and save us from all the stress we're experiencing in the moment. We have our location set. Everything else is taken care of and now all we are waiting on is the dates to start filming and editing. 

    I believe we would most likely take two to three days to film and two to three days to edit. Most of that should be easy seeing as we made sure to prep for a longer than necessary time. It wasn't by choice but at least we were able to get everything together before we even had a date set. This allowed us ample enough time to secure our thoughts and ideas in creativity for the film. The last choices of how the opening comes out will most likely come from our editor Rohanna she is the person who is best at editing.

     So, we made sure to figure out everyone's strongest points and weakest points. We were able to assist and help everyone learn something in their weakest points while others helped one another out with their strong points. Idline and I make great camera men and directors. Nishayla makes for a good planner and actor placement. Rohanna is good with editing and choosing the important segments of the takes. Her part although seems the hardest for someone like me who is not quite the best editor can be done wonderfully and effectively by someone who is in tune with editing like Rohanna.

Genre Research: Romance & Drama

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. A close up shot is an example of camera angles that are seen in films.  It allows the audience to examine the characters face to see their feelings and emotions. Another common camera angle seen in romance films are over the shoulder shots. It captures the face expressions and body language. Common sounds heard in romance movies are usually diegetic and non diegetic. For example, a musical that has romance incorporated into it includes singing and it helps exaggerate the feelings the characters may have.  Sometimes there may be a sou...

Production Blog: Spring Break is Over

      So we are back from spring break today and everything is in order. Although, we did not film and we did not communicate over the break. I could have predicted that but in that time I did text one group member Nishayla and she was talking to me about an idea she had about changing a scene by the pond I'm not to sure what is was about I don't really remember. However, if any changes are to be made then everything will be adjusted so everything aligns properly. That is if she decides to bring it up to the group.       We decided to do icebreakers have discussed our grades and how our break was before getting to the hard work.  In doing so, we came to agreement that things over the break cleared up and the break gave us time to organize our lives to get everything in order. Fortunately we now have clear schedules allowing us time to film. Unfortunately though in the last minute I did happen to misplace my camera and I eventually will find i...
