Filming Blog DAY ONE

 Today was one of two days of production filming for our commercial, it went very well to say at least. As expected this was new to all of us and we had a lot of getting use to filming clips and doing retakes. The retakes were especially hard and annoying to keep doing as it took 10 takes to finish and capture a good running scene. But it wasn't nothing we cant overcome as a team that's in it to win it. Unfortunately, one of our teammates was absent today and due to this wasn't able to film with us. So there was a lot of moving around scenes to be able to get things done that didn't required her in. We hope that she will be back on Monday which is our last day filming and if she isn't present w have to move on without her and hope for the best for her. We really do hope she makes it for this we really don't want her to fail and especially not after all the work she did preparing for this. Anyway we are getting off tracked with this, Filming went surprisingly smoothly to say at least. We were able to get Three whole scenes don't and slightly edited which was huge for us to do in such a small class period. I'm really proud of my team and for what they did today, I knew from doing my first blog that they were going to be great and I'm glad I was proven to be right. 

I was the camera person for most of the scenes filmed and was one of the people helping to create props. Of course, I'm going to be having scenes commercial as well but they take place towards the end. I'm also going to be one of the people who edits the video and make it come to life as a real commercial and I'm very excited for that stage in our work. Can't wait to see everything in its final glory. There was a lot of potential scenes that couldn't make it to the final cut, since we couldn't access one the places we wanted to films so we had to improvise. But everything just happened to work out so we will be doing okay. Still kind of upset that we couldn't film in that area as it was perfect from the start. And maybe this misshaped made us changed a lot and had to add some of our back up scenes but then again it was fine since we had this figured out. To be honest, this whole entire experience made us feel like real actors in real movies which is really exciting when you think about it. But of course this is where I bid you a farewell with this blog update, thank you for taking the time to read.

 To begin, I'd like to acknowledge that filming began and concluded today, and I couldn't be happy than I am right now. Now that it's over, I'm relieved of a lot of worry, and I'm looking forward to seeing everything edited. When we were trying to film, there were a lot of stressful and annoying moments, but I'm glad we were able to get through them. There have been so many issues involving groupmates being irritated by one another, and I'm glad we can finally get this resolved. I really didn't like staying after school to go to the park to film but hey it got the job done and I barely made it home before the sun went down so it was a win win. On both sides I'm sure all groupmates felt the same way about our plans on filming. To be really honestly No matter how much I rather be at home its was quite enjoyable to spend time after school with friends. It was nice to mess around and laugh while filming. It was awkward when more people arrived at the par...

 Props - For this music video, we decided on going for a story that follows a group of friends that slowly fall apart as one person drifts away. Since we want to capture a scene with the friends on the beach, beach towels, hats and beach balls will be present. Costumes - This part will be very easy in our opinion as we will have regular swimming wear or just causal clothing. Though their will be scenes that won't be on the beach so their might be changes in clothing. For the swimming wear, it will completely up to the actors of what they are comfortable on wearing this shoot. Nothing to covered or revealing will be disagreed upon as the actors concern worths more. I'm sure most outfits people would chose are short pants with a t-shirt. Schedule - Be aware that these dates might not accurate as we will need to see for ourselves if these can work with our schedules. 11/16/2021, our group will finalize our ideas of what we want for this project. 11/17/2021, our group will gather t...

  What titles are displayed during the opening sequences?A title sequence (also known as an opening sequence or intro) is a means of presenting a film or television show's title, as well as important production and cast members, through the use of innovative graphics and sound (often an opening theme song with visuals, akin to a brief music video). This is often seen in fiction work like Harry Potter and is often seen in their movies and many other ones as well.   What images are prioritized in the opening sequence? In harry potter, there would be clips and images of characters that will take a big role in the film. Usually these characters are the main three, Harry, Ron and hermione. These being placed in the title screen or the opening gives credit where it's due for the audience to gather their attention and the crew mates as well.   What connotations do these images carry? According to cultural convention, imagery can represent feelings and mood. Words, soun...
