Production Blog: Beginning the Plan!

    Hey, what's going on! I cannot wait to start filming. As you may know by now, I will have some friends to participate as actors in my short film. This means that I will have a desired camera person to get all of the designated and desired shots for this film. As of today, I have contacted them and let them know what roles they will take in the shooting of this film. I have made it clear to them how each scene will take place and what is going to go down in them. Although, scheduling for this filming process is may be a little difficult. My actors and I schedules look very different from each other. Due to school, and other extra curricular activities it is difficult to even find time for oneself. We are still settled on our desired date to film. However, I will be creating back-up plans and dates just incase we run into any obstacles on that date. When I was in AS level creating my film I found that working in a group does not always go as planned, especially in terms of schedules. My partner and were forced to reschedule and consistently check what dates are possibly filming date. After rescheduling multiple times it delayed the filming process towards the end of the required due date leaving very little time to review and edit. Since I was responsible for post-processing, it put tons of stress on me into preparing the film by the designated deadline. In addition to this, there were a few mistakes that I found after exporting the video meaning that I had to go back and re-edit some clips. It is important to be mindful of these complications that may occur in the making of this film and leave time for them. But, on the bright side due to first-hand experience I know how to move forward if any complications were to come into existence. I am excited to see how the rest of these blogs and filming process goes and I hope you are too.

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...
