Filming Blog for Music Video

 

Before I started recording I had to gather all of my materials together. I got my camera, my storyboard and a few other materials that were necessary to the success of this music video. I then called my actors to meet up but their were a few issues. First my cousin couldn't make it because he was feeling under the weather. Then, my other cousin was at his father's house so he wasn't available either. The next day I tried to go out and record because everything seemed perfect. The weather thought otherwise, it was becoming darker outside and the wind started blowing, it began to rain and I wanted to record outside so I had to wait another day. Finally, on the day that I was able to record I headed over to my aunt's house to get the dog and my two cousin's. We headed down to the field to begin to record when the baby and dog wouldn't stay still. I had to call my aunt down to help us with holding the dog and the baby. Then when I started recording the first few scenes which went very smoothly. I realized that I'd forgotten a big part of the video, the stroller. So I had to run up stairs to my aunt's house to grab the stroller. I couldn't find it at first so I called my aunt to ask her where it was and she said it was in the trunk of her car, I wish she would've told me this earlier. So then I had to go back downstairs and locate the car so I could get the stroller out. Once I got the stroller I headed back to where my actors were so we could continue the rest of the scenes. As we went through the different scenes we faced some more problems through the filming process. The dog wouldn't cooperate so we had to redo the same scene over and over to get it right. We had to run after the dog so many times because he was barking at people passing by. All in all, we finished the video successfully and then I was able to begin the filming process.

Planning for Short Film

Image
  We plan to film our short film at different locations around the school. The first place we plan to film is on the track. This is where the establishing shot will be and the entire first scene will happen. The next scene will take place in the bully's room, this where the transition to the bully's dream takes place. The bully's dream will occur in the outside hallway of building 5. The final scene will happen in the bus loop. We will begin filming after winter break, January 3, 2022. The day back is an A day so we will try to film during al of our study halls. When filming isn't in process everyone will have on their masks for safety. There will be sanitizer for the cast to use whenever they touch anything. One of the main props will have are the bookbags they have on. Since they are teenagers they will also have their phones. The scene in the hallway will be the first one that we complete because everyone will be in class. As far as costumes, everyone can wear their

Genre Research - Final Choice

Image
    Out of all three of the genres chosen, we decided to finally go with Drama. The reason for this choice is that a drama is simply more flexible than the others. There are so many aspects to a film that can make it be considered as a drama. On the other hand, Horror and Comedy have a big more restraint. When making a horror film, there has to be some element that “scares” the audience. Whether it is actually scary or not isn’t the point, but whether it creates a chilling atmosphere. It just didn’t really seem to fit into the prompt of our short film. We don’t want the audience to be too distracted by “not getting scared” to the point where they miss the message we are trying to send. Comedy was a little more close than horror, but again, it didn’t seem to match our story. The main purpose of comedic films is to have the audience laughing. Another, more subtle idea, would just be to have traces of humor throughout the film. However, why would we want to add comedy to a film that’s m

Genres choices

Image
  We chose three different genres that we believed our pitch could fit into. The first genre we chose is comedy. Our pitch could fit into the comedy genre because of some events that could occur. For example, while the bully is learning from his mistake someone could make a joke. It could also fit in this genre because of its elements and Mis-En-Scene. Such as, the casual costumes and classroom settings of many comedy films. The second genre we chose for our pitch is horror. This pitch could fit into this genre because of the acts of violence within the scenes. Another reason it could fit is because of some common sounds found in horror. For example, screaming; this could be used in our pitch during a scene where the bully is bullying someone. The last genre we chose for our pitch is drama. Our pitch could fit into this genre because the relationship between a bully and his victim revolves around drama. The story line of dramas commonly revolve around high schoolers, which our pitch al
