Production: Prepping for the film


    Today was the day that my group and I decided to talk about our filming dates and how things would go moving forward. As it turns out, seeing as we each had our own things to deal with, the timing for us to film was going to clash and cause a few bumps in the road for us. Some of us had to work while others had to take other exams and deal with family issues. Since, we all knew it would be a while before we could find a date we all could agree upon, we all made sure to come to an agreement. The deal was that if the time came and we couldn't all make it we would film without the others and figure out how to combine everything in editing together. 

    Rohanna one of the group mates managed to find a park to film at with all the props and settings we would need. With an understanding that I didn't have transportation at the time scheduling everything was definitely necessary for me. With that to think about I was playing as an actor along with Nishayla another group member making our presence a necessity for the film to started in the first place. We figured out what to use for editing software as well. We decided the best thing for us to use was iMovie.

     This is because it would be the most efficient and effective software for us in this moment. This decision was decided by dictating whether or not we would be able to help with the editing and seeing as we all had an understanding on how to use the software in some way; we would be able to help whom ever decided to do most of the editing. We would all be able to contribute in case anyone of us was overwhelmed; meaning no one was left behind to struggle on what to do just incase someone was stuck on the creativity part of the filming process. We all work together as a team to accomplish everything we need. Are patience with one another and ability to communicate with one another and teach each things we don't know about the filming process of media in general allows us to educate one another while still being a well working oiling machine at all hours of the day.

    Our method lets us compromise with one another on location, filming style, designs for our opening sequence titles. We all had slightly different visions for the movie opening but that was okay our differences allowed us to combine the ideas creating the best decisions for the designs, angles and locations. I understand that iMovie may not be a typical editing software but it was the best choice for us to make the iMovie opening look the way we imagined it. So hopefully it all goes well; we can only hope for the best moving forward.

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.

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...
