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.

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 fir...

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 ...

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.
