Production Blog: Finalizing Dates to Film

On march 29th my team and I discussed the dates. They initially tried Sunday but I was informed way to late. I couldn't make the last minute film. So they were going to film without me which was fine but it wasn't possible seeing and my understudy wasn't able to make it anymore. This was leaving them with no choice but to cancel and reschedule once more.

We tried to film later to see how that would go. I was given an much earlier notice. I was able to make the date and so was everyone else. Allowing us to continue with our regularly scheduled program. This allowed me time to schedule and order a lyft ride to get to the park.

This also gave me the opportunity to figure out my situations for transportation getting back home from the park. We all managed to come to an agreement and we began the next step of checking everything off our list. It was to ensure that we have all of the possible needed props with us. This was just a double checking to make sure that we don't have to keep going back and forth about what prop is needed and why we don't have it. I was also thinking in the back on my mind who should bring a copy of the storyboard along just to make sure that everything stays on script.

I reminded myself to bring that up to the group and see if someone could bring a copy. I would do it myself but I do not have a printer at home and my phone does not have service at the moment. These are part of the reason why it is so it was critical that I had everything in order before I left home. Otherwise I would be stuck without any source of communication and alone seeing as the other girls would have to go home afterwards as well. These are all things that I am thinking about before filming day gets here and we begin our filming journey

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.

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...
