Production Blog: Getting ready!


   Hey blog, I am back! I can't even express how excited I am for this music video. Between getting to work with my classmates, and jamming out to Taylor Swift, I couldn't imagine what wouldn't be entertaining about this assignment. On Monday, the filming process will begin. This is because my schedule is backed up over the weekend, and luckily my group mates are understanding of that. But, back to Monday, as I said before, it is going on in the mall. So, I will drive there and for about an hour and a half get the shots that are needed. I am wearing an everyday outfit, as I am the "victim".  This outfit will most likely consist of leggings, tennis shoes, and a T-shirt. By doing this it will ensure to the audience that I am in no part aware of the situation around me. Therefore, not only will my outfit be normal, but so will my makeup. I plan to stay in one area of the mall in particular, so I am not wandering around aimlessly. But, again I am figuring that out as I move along. The plan is to have the video, at the least, 12 scenes long. This video has to be a minute long, so simple math would be 5 seconds per scene. But, I plan to have certain scenes shorter or longer than others. For example the over the shoulder shots will be short, but to the point and the tracking shots will be longer. In which the scene times will balance each other out. Well, that is it for this blog and I can't wait to start filming. See you guys next time, hopefully with a music video in the making! Kylie.

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...
