Filming indoors

 Now that we have finally rearranged everything with where we are filming what days we are going to film it is time to start the filming. It is currently 2/6/21 and I have decided today I will be filming all indoor scenes. I started off by cleaning up the location making sure all lighting were on point and the same in different areas and everything should be a easy slate for shooting. This day we would have only needed the
actresses shae and crystal, kendrick and teresa didn't need to be present on the set until the day we changed locations to the park. Before shooting I came up with a technique because my hands shake alot that I need to find something that the camera is steady while filming or if its following someone it's turning smoothly and not shaklee. This was done by using a tall stool in my house I easily set the camera on it and propped behind a book so I was able press play, stop, and turn it. The first scene is the the female actress shae laying on the bed. This was a close up shot of her laying down with a sleeping mask on. The actress then sits up taking her mask off and placing it on the bed. This was originally going to be a mid shot but changed it to a long shot so the audience can really get a look at the actresses whole body and the surrounding of her that comes into place a lot throughout the beginning of the film. The long shot then shows this scene along with her bed her dresser and windows all which then come into play. The next shot is the actress stretching. During this we had her smiling to show the audience that she did not wake up in a bad mood there is something that hse is happy about for the day. The actor thats goes to sit in off her bed and walk to the window. We had to reshoot the scene a couple times because it was taking to long for her to do so. This was easily fixed instead of the actress getting off the bed on the right said and walking around it saved us more time for her to get off the left side and take a step over to the window. This was all shot in long shot again to give the audience a better outline of the actresses movements. The actress then arrives to the window as she opens her blinds and beams of light shines through. This was shot with the over the shoulder shot so we could see her view from her perspective. This was to show that she is looking outside so the audience can tell that whatever she is doing for the day involves the outside and shinny weather. To make this more clear as well we use a close up shot of the actress smiling to show the audience that she is happy with what she has seen.

Another Try

Today we are giving it another try for filming our scenes at the park. We all first started by waking up really early getting ready and meeting at the location at a set time. Actress shae had to get back in costume making sure everything looked as before. We headed over to the park and started to take a look around to check if there is anyone presently there. We figured that we have came so early that even if there is a event planned like last time we were sure they weren't gonna be doing it at 9am in the morning. Looking around there was no one there no joggers, parties, volleyball players, basketball players, it was just a plain sight. For starters we started off with a mid shot of the actress putting on her head phones. The next shot is the actress dropping her phone as it falls on the ground. This was recorded as a tilt shot to really show the dramatics and weakness of the situation not knowing what is about to happen. The actress then bends down to pick up her phone. This was ...

Research blog : Music Video Conventions

 For this project I will be conducting a music video on the song Foolish by Ashanti released in 2002. In this music video I will be recreating a minute worth of footage to use with a minute worth of the audio from the song Foolish. I started this process off with researching R&B soul music videos watching and taking notes on certain background, props, movements and vibes created that were acted in these R&B soul videos. One thing I realized I had to do was watch more videos that scripted relationship scenes just like in the actual song foolish by ashanti. I already had pictures in my mind of myself and the actor finding ways to recreate a type of feelings of old school throwback vibes and looks. In order to get this type of look some senses will have to be more dimmed and props and costumes will look more old school and less advanced things we have in the year 2020. One way to help conduct the video look like that is to use props like a old school phone and have the actress...

Critical Reflection Questions

 1.  How does your product use or challenge conventions AND how does it represent social groups or issues? My product uses challenges and conventions through there being different options and options to choose from. The definition of a vacuum is " an electrical apparatus that by means of suction collects dust and small particles from floors and other surfaces.'' Now this Can represent social groups or issues due to the competitiveness of how different vacuums work and which ones are better. For example my product specifically the shark rotator vacuum could cause issues because this is the one vacuum that has a powerful lift away and the most powerful suction. Someone could argue how there vacuum is better then mines and that's how it causes social groups through commercials or adds there are going to be hundreds of the same type of product but in different form and with different techniques. 2. How does your p roduct engage with audiences AND ...
