Production Blog: Disagreements are normal

Image
 Hey fans! Back at it again with another Blog. So of course this process has been very long. Like I mean very very very long, I would say a good month. It’s still not completely done but me Zoe and Jenna all have ideas . I would say it’s okay to not agree which is the title of this blog, which I would say is the hardest. When working in a group it’s good to try and make everyone happy so everyone has a little part on what is going on ,but all of our ideas are different which is so funny. We all have different ideas on what to do with one shot we need to redo again. I say a point of view shot, Jenna says an establishing shot and zoe doesn’t want the box being placed on the floor a scene at all. She prefers it to just be a shadow or a knock in the background. What are we going to agree on, I have no idea. We still have time which is okay. Not only that but when it comes to coloring the entire video because I had an idea of putting a faint color on the scenes depending on the mood of ...

Production Blog: Music picking

Image
 Hey guys back at it again with another video. This blog is going to be a little different and something I havent talked about. How we came up with our music that gets played in the background. Since jenna is super motivated when it comes to this project she was the main person who actually did the research. Me and Zoe had the job of picking and choosing which ones get picked in the video. What was funny was that when we heard a few, me and Zoe started laughing so hard because most of them sounded like Lullabys, and to her they sounded spooky and scary. They werent spooky and scary at all. What was interesting is that all the tunes we'll be using are all on spotify. Since we all have spotify premium we can all do our research. However for some reason theres a melody that she wants. She like hums and we have to try and find a tune that matches her hum but so far, not one of us can find it. We ended up finding, Christopher Field Brand X Music's "Infinitus''. Thats th...

Production Blog: A peer review

Image
I also asked multiple friends for feed back but here’s me asking Giovanna on what she thinks .She also has media studies but she goes to a different school sadly. Hey guys Back at it again with another blog. This time, i’ve never done this before, but here’s a peer review. I know some of you are confused but a peer review is basically when you have a friend or a random person go over the work you’ve created or completed. However the feedback is both good and what needs to be worked on. For example, I had my friends Franshesca give feedback on what needs to be worked on. Of course I wasn’t suprised on her mentioning on the camera angles. We do need to finish editing that into our new redo. OBVIOUSLY our credentials still aren’t done since we haven’t had time to talk about who’s taking what position and the formatting of where to put them. Moving onto the good parts, she mentioned our editing. I was definitely surprised because we still need some fixing to do. I would also love to have a...

Production Blog: Editing pt2

Image
 Hey Fans! Back at it again with another blog. Okay so last blog I told you guys that we had to redo some shots since we wanted to incorporate more perspectives on how the audience would see the final task mini story. Honestly, im kind of suprised jenna isnt tired of editing but then again, thats the reason why me and zoe wanted to be partnered up with her. If you guys remember, I had another teammate but she wanted to work alone for this one. Jenna edits since she prefers filming and editing compared to acting, and me and Zoe dont mind acting so it works out for the best. Again during lunch, me Jenna and zoe got together, laughed at the retakes and combined all the shots to make the video. The main worry about our video is the cresidentials. For example when the production company comes up, we still havent thought of what the group would be called and who has one cresidential. But I did already show and remind you guys the way the cresidential and the font is going to look. To giv...

Production Blog: RETAKE

Image
Here’s the scene where in the background we had to edit a random video of parents arguing  Hey FANSS! IM so excited to tell you guys we finally filmed again for our Final task. Last blog I told you guys I pointed out the shots we could've done better and imbedded more shots. SO TODAY since it is currently Saturday, we filmed this morning. Its the same exact routine as I said in my other blog but this time it was a lot quicker. Jenna picked me and Zoe up, we got Acai instead of chipotle. My bowl is called the Goldie Mango bowl with strawberry, banana,coconut, honey, granola, and nutella. If im feeling more hungry ill get extra nutella which is amazing. Anyway back to the main point, we got to jennas house and got straight to it! Luckily, the only parts that had to be retaken were Zoes parts, but we did redo only one of my parts but in that shot the main focus was the daughter, aka Zoe. We implemented two point of view shots and more. This will allow us to have more to talk about dur...

Production Blog: Editing but we messed up

Image
 Hey guys I’m back again after a long weekend. This weekend I had fun and forgot School was even a thing. I’m so excited for summer because as you guys already know, I LOVE THE BEACH. I honestly just love the sun and being in the sunshine and swimming and the sand and the energy and the salt water in my hair. But again it’s school time again sadly. This weekend while I was at the beach, Jenna is the main editor but of course me and Zoe help.Jenna used Photo App in order to put them all together, during the last project we did research on the best app and photo app is what we found. When she tried to do cap cut, the process was way longer compared to just cutting the videos and adding the time frame to 2 minutes . When we filmed, there was a lot of background noises because of me or jenna laughing and the actor (Zoe) having to keep a straight face anyway. Its either that or the background noise was me warming up my chipotle with the microwave. OR me eating chips. ITs so funny majori...

Production Blog: Finally filmed

Image
Here’s a clip of me and Zoe in action!  HEY fans! Back at it again with another blog. I have good news as you can tell from the title. WE FILMED, finally. After me saying my group and I was too busy, that weekend on sunday, me Jenna and Zoe were free. We each just had errands in the morning but then we got together, Jenna has the car so of course she picked Zoe and I up since we live close together. Jenna got us and we got Chipotle OF course, its the best fast food ever created in the whole world. We drove back to Jenna house and got straight to it since we only had 3 hours to film. 3 hours is not enough at all, Zoe's mom wanted her home by 5 and we started at 1, with the drive back being 20 minutes because of traffic and rush hour. Me and Zoe decided that I was the mom and she was the daughter. IM NOT going to spoil it, but I think we did good. Filming was definitely an easy process since this story isn't as hard as the Music Video idea that I put together.Okay maybe i might s...

Production Blog: Junior year is our busy year

Image
Here’s my entire February schedule for school work. And that’s me checking how long until my math test is due of course.    Hey fans! Back at it again I KNOW its been actually a long time. So let me update you guys first, everyone's busy. This year is my junior year which is stated 'the worst year', whoever said that wasn't lying. So, the idea of this Final Task, since the music video I came up with the MAIN story, this time my partner, Jenna, wanted to be the creator of the story. She put together a Mystery short clip of mother escaping a toxic family and later coming back to take the daughter with her. I'm not too proud about it but I'm sure my group and I will work it out well. With groups, you have to be calm and not cause issues even when something may not go your way. SO, the plan out is to have Zoe and I to be the main actors and Jenna can film again, she loves being behind the camera watching it happen. Me and Zoe haven't figured out who's the da...
