Production Blog: Options in Film

 Today after work, I'm sleeping over at my family friend's house. Because then in the morning, we have to drive 10 hours up to Pensacola Florida for a wedding. I'll be gone the whole weekend, so we won't be able to film at all this weekend. Since I'm going to have a lot of time on my hands, I can think about my final project a lot more. I'm deciding between two ideas for the costumes in my film. For the girlfriend, I either want a 90s theme with a white floral dress for the good scenes and a black floral dress for the bad scenes. Or just a simple white for the good scenes and black or red for the bad scenes. For the boyfriend, I either want the 90s theme with a white button-up for the good scenes and a black button-up for the bad scenes. Or just a regular white polo for the good scenes and a black or red polo for the bad scenes. We know for sure that we want two different outfits for the two separate scenarios. We previously made sure that we all already have the costumes mentioned prior, so we could know all our options. I also need to make a decision, on all the different camera angles in each scene. I want angles that show the whole picture. That really portrays the concept we've created. We also want to think out of the box to really have a unique film. We also need to choose the specific camera movements for all the precise scenes. We had this really cool idea to film it like coming up then flipping upside down and the coming up from the other side right side up. I honestly don't know how to explain it, but I want to study up how to execute it flawlessly. Even if it ends up becoming too complicated we still want a backup plan that looks just as nice. But we still want it to look sleek, even if the movement is basic.

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...
