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.

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 ...

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...
