Production Blog: Availability

 With this project, we're facing some obstacles. The person we've decided to do it with, Ezekiel Moralez, has a very busy schedule with work and other events. I also have a busy schedule. The last weekend which was the 7th and 8th, We couldn't start filming for any of those days because some of us had work and were busy. The weekend coming up, the 13th and 14th, I'm going to be out of town for a wedding. The days we're thinking of filming are going to be the 20th and 21st. If it ends up being too far away then we might even have to film on weekdays. We're still planning to do it at my house, but Zeke's house is still always an option in case something comes up. Most of our film is going to be based in the kitchen area. Both of our houses have an open kitchen which makes it easier to actually film. If more problems arise, because of the availability of our actors then we might need to have a lead change. It is a bit stressful that our schedules can never line up to make filming this easy but I'm sure we'll eventually figure it out. We had other people we believed could also play that role well. It just came down to the fact that we're closer personally with Zeke than any of the other choices. But even still our friend Diego is willing to be an understudy of sorts in case anything arises. We ended up deciding on using iMovie on Alexa's mac book. She made a short picture and video collage of herself and her boyfriend. She decided after using both editing software that iMovie was easier. I personally don't have a Macbook so Alexa might have to take the editing directory. We'll set up dates for me to come over to help edit. Since I generally came up with the idea, I wanted to act in it because I knew what I wanted to be portrayed. I will also mainly be taking over the directing role while filming.

Music Video Intro blog

 For my music video project, I've decided on working with a partner. The person I have chosen to work with is Alexa Delgado. I've worked with her on previous projects before this one. Even on the projects that we were supposed to work individually, she'd always offer to help with anything I needed. We've known each other since kindergarten, and I believe this is the main determinant of why we work so well together. We also already see each other on a daily basis because we live so close together. She is one of my best friends, and we really understand each other, so we tend to have a lot of things in common. Like for example, our taste in music. Alexa brought up the idea of choosing the song violent crimes by Kanye West, which we then concluded as the song for our project pretty quickly. Our video is going to portray the deeper meaning of this song. Kanye was basically talking about the uneasiness of his daughters growing up. The underlying message of what girls have to...

Filming Blog: Volleyball gym

On Sunday the 25th of October I went over to my friend's house so that we can prepare to film at a park near her house. While waiting in the house it started to rain. I then decided to reschedule filming later on in that week because I had other factors that ended up making me decided that I would now need to film indoors in a gym. Because I had volleyball practice, the only day I could film were the 29th and 30th of October after practice. I had to ask my coach prior to filming if it was okay. While filming I had my main actress named Amelia who was willing to do whatever I told her I needed, which was extremely helpful. In the opening scene, I really wanted to start off by emphasizing the intensity of the commercial to come. I did this by doing a tilt shot from her shoes to her face. Then an establishing shot of where she was which was a high school gym. Since the commercial is advertising Gatorade I really wanted to exemplify the highs and lows of training for a sport such as vo...
