Production blog

    On March 13th, I made some slight adjustments to my storyboard and schedule. In order to make sure my film would meet the 2 minute time limit some shots were scratched so that more time will be available for the middle and end. As of right now, the beginning scene has been filmed and processed with later editing. This means that all the shots that take place while the MC is inside his house are done. The rest of the filming session will take place outside. Rather than this upcoming Thursday, I moved filming to occur during soring break. This way a have all the time in the world to record all my shots needed to start editing. I wont have to worry about school hours or work from other classes during spring break so production will be at a all time high. As I said before some shots had to be scraped to provide time for future scenes. These shots weren't entirely important to the central idea of the film, so, nothing was loss in the process. To give you an idea the shots that were thrown away consisted of the MC preparing to leave his house. However, there is already enough information to suggest that the main character is getting ready to leave. I would also like to mention my attempt to film on Sunday. everything was set-up and ready for shooting until I realized the headphones used by the main character aren't on set. a careless mistake like that ruined the chance of filming. experiencing this loss in productivity taught me to remain prepared.

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 ...
