Filming Blog: Part 1

 On November 28th, I began rehearsal for my music video at my friend's house. Over thanksgiving break I intended to film earlier in the week so that I could have time for possible make-up days. However, due to personal circumstances, production of my film had to be on hold until the weekend. As of right now, I plan to schedule another filming day between the 1st and 4th of December. Moreover, filming the music video on Saturday proved to be quite difficult with the time change. Since the day ends a lot faster, some scenes had poor lighting. This made the transition into the next scene uneven. I still proceeded to record majority of the couch scene but by the time I made it to the pool scene it was already pitch black outside. Thus rather than making it the official filming day, I will now adjust the time when production must start on the make-up day. Also, rehearsing some of the storyboard proved to be beneficial for my camera man since we can now blow through the intro with less takes. Overall, all the shots that were taken are great apart from the lighting difference, so, filming itself wasn't an issue, only the time of day must be adjusted to maintain quality lighting. I'm extremely curious to see how well the pool scene plays out since we never covered how those shots will go. The fight scene should be completely improvised but everything else should closely reassemble the storyboard.

Intro Blog: Introduction to Music Video Project

Individual  For this project I decided to work by myself. In our current condition as the coronavirus pandemic continues, I believe it will be a lot easier to work alone at my own pace. This way I won't have to rely on others to get their part of the work done. I'm very confident in my creativity to produce a well throughout and entertaining music video. I plan to use actors outside of Aice Media Studies . This means my closest family or friends are likely to be apart of my video when we get to recording. If things were different and school went back to the way things were last year I would've considered working in a group. However, Communication and organization will likely be difficult to control since we'll have to take in to account safety guidelines for covid protection. Not to mention, some kids are in school while others are learning from home. Song    For my music video I chose to use the song  "So Much Fun"  by DJ Mayson . To best describe this song ...

 On March 11th, I filmed the first 15 shots my opening scene for Nunchucks VS. the world. I'm still looking into a better name for the title of my project but until then I don't have anything better. It was a lot of fun filming for he first time on this project since all my other attempts had to be cancelled. Personally, I didn't expect to spend so much on shots that I had already planned out in my storyboard. Most shots required retakes or comparisons for the best optimal take. As I realized this during the filming session, I knew right away all my shots could not be covered in a day. However, I'm okay with that being the case because not only will this make my film more organized, I also get to spend a lot more time with the actors who are better known as my closest friends. During filming the lighting was better than anticipated since we started around 3:00 in the afternoon. The only minor problems that occurred really consisted of time management and outside distrac...

Title Research: Guardians of the Galaxy 2

artofthetitles.com 1) In the Guardians of the Galaxy 2 opening scene all of  the main actors of the film are displayed first as chaos plays out. soon after the actors are mentioned, the executive producer, director, writers, and others who worked on the film are displayed throughout the scene. 2&3) We see all the guardians from the previous movie face off against an intergalactic monster to start off the movie. this displays that intense level of action the audience has been waiting for since the first release of guardians of the galaxy. weapons, explosions, and swords are all being used to the creature down but, the guardians are still getting handled in the process. this makes it all the more funny in the process. 4)      Baby Groot, mischievous and distracted in his own world, dances to music from Star-Lord’s second mixtape while the Guardians throw down in the background, out of focus. The focus on Groot instead of the main action is the first comedic thrust ...
