Production Blog: Filming Day 2

So today is our last day of filming. Today we had planned on using the basketball court. However, again today the park had way to many people there. So for social distancing purposes we made to sure to keep the social distancing rule in effect in our own bubble of people. We decided to just use the field and the outskirts of the basketball court to avoid human contact with others.

It was that last day of filming and the more we move into the filming process the more dramatic it was. So I had a part where I needed to drop to the floor crying and I did it. Consequently, I didn’t expect the ground to hurt as much as it did. So when the take was over I needed to make sure that I hadn’t bruised my knees. When I got up my mother had the first aid kit ready just in case but I was okay it was just a graze from a rock no bleeding and harm done.

The camera did die on us but we continued to film using our back up device. As we came to our closing remarks we decided to blog a little and make some blooper videos to keep for memories. Seeing as this was a lot of work we didn’t let that detour us from why we did this is the first place. We did managed to enjoy it all the way we wanted to the entire time. The filming was now complete and we were moving on to the next step.

The editing process, we all could finally relax and just enjoy being at the park. After giving Rohanna the SD card for the camera and making sure we got all the takes we needs we began to enjoy one another’s company for a while and then it was time to go home and get back to work.

Short Film Research: ( Migrants/ Drama)

This short film was 8 minutes long and the plot was pretty easy to figure out basically there were polar bears being pushed out of their home lands due to global warming and exiled from brown bear territory being left to fend for themselves on the ocean. In the beginning of the short there was a climax point where the baby polar bear fell of the ice and into the water from the ice breaking and the mother jumps after the baby. This was a great way to start the film it immediately introduce the drama factor that a film should have lots of heart racing and anticipating moments. There was a conflict with the polar bears and the brown bears over food and the was another great way to help deliver a message. Although it is animated the film didn't use and real dialogue just animal noises such as grunts and snorts and well as instrumental music in the background. It reminds me of how lonely many of us are. It can be interpreted as a political manifesto, ...

Introduction to the Music Video Project

So today I started my music video project I have officially decided on whether or not I wanted to work with anyone and who I would be working with. I had a hard time since I get nervous working in group especially when I don’t know anyone really. However I managed to find a group. I decided to work with three other girls. Rohanna, Nishayla, and Idline. I knew them since middle school and got lucky when I found out we all had the same class so I was able to successfully see to it that I got a comfortable group to efficiently get the work done. I choose to actually work in a group rather than by myself because I know me doing it alone would be very overwhelming. I have been struggling lately and falling behind on a lot. So having someone around to keep me motivated and help give me ideas on how to participate daily and move to be productive in my work was an essential part in making sure I progress in this class. US History is a hassle with all the hand written work the teache...

Comparing 9, the short, and 9, the full-length movie

The Short: My first impressions of the 9 short film was a bit confusing and when things slowly began to make sense in the end we were left with a weird cliff hanger and although it didn't make much sense seeing the numbers stitched onto other ghost dolls backs before the screen goes out helps establish that there is more to the story and that the is an explanation to what we were seeing. We couldn't really tell what the plot was in the beginning of the short it was hard to put two and two together but after seeing the ghost dolls it can an appeal of an post-apocalyptic event that happened with 9 being the only survivor of his kind in the all out war. In the character development you could see that 9 was alert and nervous yet curious to find out whats going on and what he can do to survive. The character built a sense of fight or flight mode during the chaos in the short. We saw that there were lots of special effects i'm ...
