Production Blog: Why does planning have to be so hard?!

What is going on! Right now, I am trying to organize all my actor’s schedules and meet up at Nandika's house. We will be able to film majority, if not all my clips there. Although, the thought of everyone being free on a certain date may sound easier than the true reality. My actors all attend to university and still must prioritize their schoolwork extracurricular activities with their daily life duties. With their packed school schedules, everyone has classes at different times and dates which makes it harder to plan one day or two for all dedicated to filming. Not only does it make it difficult for my friends but, its also my responsibility to balance school and my daily life. My car is currently in the shop meaning that I would have to get either Ryan my brother, or my parents to drop me off by my friend’s house to film. Fortunately for me, my brother gets off at school at around 4:30 p.m. which leaves me the entire day to travel to Nandika's house and begin the filming process. This is if he is not busy of course. My dad is also a backup option. But he must work overnights which means he is exhausted during the day. I ccannot rely on my dad as an choice. My best option is for my brother and I to travel to Nandika's house and film. If my brother also is not busy when dropping me off, he can participate in this short thriller as well. Oh, did I mention? Nandika has alerted me that she will be out of the country for a week. She is traveling to Trinidad for family reasons. This has put a stump to my plans. But, I can assure you that in my next blog I will have everything sorted 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...
