Filming and Editing blog

    Unfortunately I was unable to start recording today as planned. As you may know, my schedule was set-up for me to began filming either on March 2nd or March 4th. However, in the back of my mind I knew it would be difficult to squeeze in a filming session on these two dates in specific. For example, the reason as to why I was unable to film March 2nd had to do with my planning blogs. On that day, I was putting the finishing touches on my schedule and storyboard. So it would've been near impossible to start filming without these two subject properly organized. Moreover, I am an athlete for the Track and Field team at Fort Lauderdale high school. During this week, we had a home meet scheduled for Wednesday at 3:30 pm. Because of this, practice was mandatory on Tuesday, March 2nd, between 3 to 6 o'clock. At this point the sun was already setting and the lighting for recording would have been completely off for the film.

    To continue, March 4th was also a bad date to film for a lot of reasons. For one, the actors who would be starring in the opening scene were unable to meet up for recording. Two, track practice took longer than anticipated so filming would have been a waste of time due to the poor lighting. And three, I had to focus on other assignments that are strictly due tonight at 11:59. I do believe I can start recording by the weekend because my schedule will be a lot more free. Plus I will have more time t film on the weekends, rather than limited daylight once I get out of school or practice. I truly regret no being able to film at least one scene this week, but I still strive to finish all my filming in March. At this rate, I'm more likely to film and catch up on my schedule on the weekends rather than throughout the week.

    As it stands we shall reshoot starting March 6th or 7th of this weekend. Also, I'm currently brainstorming a better title for my film in absence of the recording. This prompted me to later revise my storyboard to see if their is anything I should add or remove.

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 ...
