Filming Blog: Part 2

 On December 3rd, I successfully coordinated a make-up day for filming. In part 1 of my filming blog, I talked about filming most of the introduction to my music video. However, because the sun was going down, the rest of the music video had to be postponed at a later date. This time around a lot more scenes were covered while production started earlier in the day. In order to conserve time until the other cast members arrived, I decided to record all the solo shots in advance so that the main priority would be scenes involving multiple actors. Recording took no more than 4 hours including the time spent on the previous film session. One thing I must point out is that the mask I originally intended to use for the video had to be replaced since it wasn't available on set. Also, rather than having two hostages by the pool, I shortened the scene to one hostage as a last minute change. Each scene required about 5-6 takes for the best possible shot. Although, it wasn't all that bad since I got to hold on to priceless Bloopers that me and my friends can laugh over for future times. In the end, time was not on my side but I managed to get all of my shots done at an optimal lighting. There were tons of laughs shared through this whole process but other than that minimal distractions hindered our recordings. I'm just glad I could produce everything in time to edit.

Editing Blog: 1 minute Dilemma

Image
 Ever since I finished filming, I couldn't wait to start editing my music video. Many ideas ran across my mind about how I should go about this process. Most of my focus was towards what edits can I possibly incorporate into my project that would make it entertaining. This consisted of transitions, filters, effects, and more. To start off, my first move was to position each scene in order to see what it would look like at it's base form. Upon further review I noticed that the video was about a minute and 25 seconds long. In all honesty, I didn't expect it to go that far beyond the time limit, but never the less, I had to fix this problem immediately before I could include anything else. So, after rewatching my video over and over again, I made small cuts throughout each scene. Majority of these cuts were shots that weren't meant to be included. However, other smaller shots were discarded from the project because they made the scene unnecessarily long. Soon enough, I bro...

 First scene- For the opening of my commercial, an athlete/actor will be dressed up in their track uniform. This will show the audience what team this commercial will be about. The actor will proceed to show off the jersey by tugging it from both sides. This should pop the logo in and out to attract the viewers attention. Also, the athlete will give a smug smile to the camera just to show how confident they're towards wearing the jersey. Second scene- The next scene will be another shot of a solo athlete in uniform while wearing medals. They will flex their biceps as a sign of showing their always winning. This will give the audience an idea of how talented Fort Lauderdale's track team really is. And to top it off, the actor will have a boastful expression on their face.  Third scene- The last solo shot will once again be an athlete in uniform. However, they will give a flying L sign towards the camera for representation. I also added a head nod for good measure.  Each of...

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 ...
