A relaxing day of filming

 Today was the second day of filming that I was given. I thought of reshooting. Reshooting would have cleaned up certain aspects of my commercial. Problems arised though so I was unable to reshoot. The people that had originally helped me were unavailable. They were either working on their commercial or the project that they were tasked with. I did not want to be a bother so I left the clips as they were. I was going to work with what I had and not get upset. The commercial was not bad, it just was not perfect. I am learning that I do not always get what I want and that is okay. The lighting of the video was great. I did not record with sound. It is going to be a quiet commercial where I will overlap it with a nice sound. I have not decided what the overlapping sound will be yet and that is okay because I think I have enough time. The clothes I wore today were not clothes that I wore the last time I filmed. So even if I had the products to shoot a new scene I would be unable to. Instead I would have to reshoot a new commercial. I am working with what I have and working towards being grateful for what I get and not being upset about things that did not come out a certain way. Besides it is my first project. I plan on learning from my mistakes and not repeating them.

Genre Research: Five Flights up

 This movie is about an old couple, a husband and a wife, spending a hectic weekend considering selling an apartment they have been sharing for over forty years. The couple thinks firmly as they think of what's at stake of turning their backs on their home that is full of memories and feelings. This movie often displayed close-ups. Using close-ups, we could see the emotions of the character that was on screen. Establishing shots in this movie were found in the beginning of the scenes. Their purpose was showing where the scenes is filmed and to give the viewers an idea of the time and place this is occuring. The costumes were simple outfits that you would see in normal times. The film was centered around a beautiful old couple who were trying to sell their home. That home has been called theirs for decades but the times have changed so it is hard to stay in one place and old-fashioned when everything around you is changing. There was a moderate change in wardrobe but that would be w...

Title Design Research: (Thriller) 30 Days of Night

  1.      How many titles are displayed during the opening sequences to the film? Which ones? I counted fourteen titles this time around. I am starting to feel unsure as to am I counting the titles correctly. When I read the requirements for question one I thought the answers would be around 3-4. Lately I have been getting ten and over. I am a bit worried that I am counting extra credits. The credits I saw in the opening film were screenplay, screen story, produced by, executive producers, director of photography, production designer, editors, actors, music by, co-producer, casting, visual effects supervisors, production company, and unit production managers. In all honesty I started to see assistant directors and things along those lines so I stopped. That was definitely too much for me to add to the blog. 2.      What connotations do the images carry? This opening sequence put their all into it. Never have I ever heard an opening song that ...

   Hello everyone! It has been a while since I have come around this block to update you guys on what is going on. Lately I have researching different ways I can improve my final task. I can recall what felt like yesterday choosing between two fantastic pitches. One pitch was about an escaped robber hidden amongst teenagers hanging out at a local mall. The other pitch was about a tragedy is reported by a girl in her diary and how drama unfolds. Despite my efforts to go with the first one I had to go with the second. As a high school student, with no source of income I was unable to fund my activities or any projects that may have come my way. Of course I would be able to buy a camera that is necessary because the camera would last me nearly a lifetime. As well as it would be a one time purchase instead of continuous payments. To add to my disadvantages I knew that I was gonna have more than a hard time gathering the people I would need. In my planning blog I mentioned choosing...
