Production Blog: Story Board

 Hi again, wow it sure does get boring having to say that over and over again. Never thought I would have that issue. But that is besides the point. It is currently week one of producing my commercial, and let's just say learning how to use iMovie is not easy. I have used it in the past, but not to the extent of making a commercial. I have been playing around with it, and uploading the different photos and videos I am using for this assignment. Within all of this I have decided to use the story board setting as it resembles closely to what components an actual commercial or movie would have. There are many different templates, but I thought "About me" would be best fit. I plan the commercial to be around 45 seconds to about a minute long, so that means I would have to cut out parts of the songs. As I mentioned previously, the first part will be about my personal life, which will be the first 25-30 seconds of "Cruel Summer" by Taylor Swift. During the rest of the video, which will be me playing sports "All of lights" by Kanye West will be playing. Specifically starting from the 10 second mark all the way till the 40 second mark. I am not sure how I plan to transition this edit, but I do plan to have some sort of glitch effect with a mashup sound. With a total of 8 pictures and 5 videos, I seem to have a pretty good grip on the timing of these. During the beginning, I will play a video (with no music in the background) with my title 'Keeping up with Kylie" fading in. Right after this video the song will begin and the videos of me surfing will start. I hope to be more elaborate in the next production blog on the order of these videos and photos as I have not done this yet. But after this the photo of my younger self will come up and then transition to the present me. This is what I have done so far for my commercial, and hope to update you guys soon on my progress. Talk to you guys soon!

Final Task: Creative Critical Reflection

Image
1. How does your product use or challenge conventions AND how does it represent social groups or issues?   Script: The first question here is “how does your product use or challenge conventions AND how does it re present social groups or issues?”    In response to the first part of the question I would say:      This product uti lizes common conventions in horror movies. Example s of this include the camera angles, shots, movements, editing, and sound. The movie was mainly based around wide shots, POV shots, over the shoulder shots like the one that you see here in the right corner , and extreme close-ups. The editing incorporated many fade ins to a dd suspens e and create an uneasy atmosphere , directed to wards the audience. This is to ensure that watchers are engaged, and almost feel as if they are in the movie. The daunting music also added to the desired sensation. The main character was vividly distraught throughout the entire movie. With this,...

Production Blog: Peer Review

Image
   Hey blog, I am back with an update! As I mentioned in the previous blog, both the filming and editing portions of my Final Task are finished. What was left was much needed, and this was peer reviewing. I had one of my classmates, Emerson watch over our film and give critiques. Although she was intrigued with the content of the video, the first thing she said was that the transitions were choppy. I had knew this before, it was just very difficult to think I was going to do it seamlessly. However, she did give me a few tricks, or ones that ended up helping her group. The next thing she pointed out was that the music volume was a little low. It is on the lower side of sounds in general, as it gets louder as it continues. But, this will be an easy fix. She also mentioned that some qualities of shots were different than others, not in a good or bad way. Just in one that was asking if we did it intentionally. I told her we did not, and she said it doesn't ruin the overall quality...

Filming Blog: Scenes 6 through 12

Image
 Today is the big day! You may be asking why? Well, it is time we conquer filming the last 6 scenes of our Final Task. Todays work load is heavy, and the only way I planned to get it done was to minimize break time. As I have learned from our previous sessions, my team barely gets anything done after we decide to rest. So, I have made the executive decision that there will be no breaks. For these scenes, I am equally on the camera as I am off the camera. This being said, I will take any opportunity I get to make sure the filming quality is up to par. I play more than one role in this, so costume changes will be made. Although it is nothing too serious, it will improve the quality of the video. One of my partners recently had surgery on her leg, this was not part of our plan, but provisions were made. The majority of our group has siblings, so they will fill in for her role. Fortunately, it was nothing to big, so no burden is made on their behalf. These scenes do involve much more d...
