The Fun is about to Begin

 My group and I are planning to film this music video soon. I currently am organizing where we are planning to go. For the music video I've chose a Christmas themed genre and I want to try and incorporate a festive spirit into it.   The main goal is to find a location that has lights, a Christmas tree, fake snow, etc. Luckily, it is beginning to close in on the holidays so public places should have these props and elements. After figuring out where my partner is located near we will be able to determine a place. As of now, I'm thinking about filming at a mall. Most malls have Christmas decorations around the holidays. Because it is an indoor mall, we are safe from harsh weather conditions that may occur or intervene during filming. If I go on the right day, Santa may be at the mall as he usually takes pictures and hands out candy canes to the kids. This will be perfect for the music video since it will then clearly direct what the video is going to be about. My partner and I have to still decide on a specific time when we will meet up and go. Picking the wrong time can harm production as there is very busy days and times at the mall. For instance, whenever the mall is busy it can cause distractions to the viewers as there'll be many people passing by or walking through the frame. Eliminating this will put ease on the audiences eyes and will allow them to follow along with the music video. So far, my partner and I have decided that we will  film on December 10th, which is a Saturday. We chose this day at the moment since he is busy with testing and the fact I have events coming up. Picking a day throughout the weekend can be risky since individuals are commonly freed up and go to the mall. Although if there is a bit of people I can incorporate some of them into the theme of the music video by including them as background actors or even influencing them to dance. After planning this, I am very excited to see how  filming turns out.

There is a Solution!

 It is currently Saturday. I woke up today with a text from my group member about what we're going to film. After the conversation concerning the parts about what is being filmed, I learned that my partner cannot film today either. My partner's schedule is very tight and relying on him is making it detrimental to me. Keeping in mind that this project is due very soon we still have not had anything filmed at this point. I am now getting anxious and frustrated about what my group and I are going to have to do now. My group members' tight schedule has truly made it a detriment to my time and future plans I had. Finally, my group member and I decided to film by ourselves. After we both film whenever possible, I will edit all of the clips to make it one sequence to flow smoothly with the music video. Since I was already set for Saturday I figured that I should film the first couple of scenes at the mall. Despite going to film, I had to get my brother to be the cameraman to help ...

Creative Critical Reflection

  1. My commercial challenges conventions by the opening of a panning shot. I have used the luminescent light coming from the school board sign for realistic lighting. My film represents the student class, establishing students attending to school use the product. The location displays the environment that this product can be used in. My actor has shown, pants, shirt, backpack, and shoes to portray this. By implementing this as well as having some dramatic shots, it makes the viewer want the apparel to use, targeting students mainly but not limited to.  2. My product engages with the audience by grabbing their attention with various detail zoom shots, to panning. Showing off the brand, it shows the many uses that it has. This can be distributed in the real media text as it is visually appealing. Nowadays people have a lower attention span making fast pace videos with intense shots more interesting.  3. My production skills has tremendously improved throughout. I learned h...

What’s the plan now?

    Nothing good comes easy. This is the quote keeping my motivation up. The reason I’m even thinking about this quote is because the filming dates are constantly being delayed. Unfortunately, not only does my group member and I have other work for classes but so we are busy in our daily lives. We are trying to come up with a solution so that we can accumulate together and film. We still need to look into a specific park to go to. Something along the lines next to our school or my partners house may work. It is important for it to be a spacious park so that the puppy can run around and play it’s part to act wild and free. The act of the dog being wild and free will irritate one of the characters, as mentioned in my script. This will be the introduction of the plot. My partner lives near the school. This makes it accessible to me and we can easily begin the filming process. As my partner and I know what we’re going to film we can film different parts of the movie separately. Fo...
