 We were unable to film owing to the inclement weather and the absence of some of our scheduled items for today. It's a pity that things have to go backwards, but as a team, we're determined to get through this. However, I dislike the fact that we are still unable to complete our assignment. I'm hoping for the best so that we can finally get started and finish filming. Since this is the final work, I personally hope that we can do it as quickly as possible and that it meets the grading standards. This just gets me melancholy, and I often believe that we should cherish it, but enough with the rambling, we're getting off track. As I previously stated, I'm both enthusiastic for the filming portion of this and thrilled to be writing the subsequent blogs for it. I'll make do with what we have, even if I don't have much equipment for what I want to do with our planning. There's still so much to see and see that it's making me exhausted just thinking about ...

Unfountanly, we couldn't film due the massive amounts of rain that happen today. So sad that things have to set back once again but we as a team wish to push pass this. But personally I don't like the fact that we still can't do anything for our assignment. Wishing for the best to happen so we can finally start and get filming over and done with. Since this is the final task, I personally hope we can get this done as so as we can and for it can meet up to the grading standards.  Even though we couldn't film we were able to make some progress. I thought about different locations we can film and one that came to mind is the park near my house. Its a nice park with a lot of space to film in an dcan overall be perfect scene for the movie. But the only complication is that I live far from the school so the park is also far from the school. It would be hard for all of us to plan and schedule what day is right to film. I'm thinking during some weekend but we are going to n...

 With this blog there isn't much to report on. It's been a long time since I've written one of these blogs, and I'm still not used to it. But its need so I'll try my best to explain what we as a group have so far. But to complain a bit these blogs were always the ones I dread doing. Even though it's gotten to the point where the due dates are so close together that it's haunting me. It's incredible that I'm still able to stay ahead of them and turn in assignments on time; it's astonishing what can happen to a struggling high school kid. But, if I can bring this discourse back to the task at hand, I'll start with the music video's current production. So far, everything has gone swimmingly, and there hasn't been a single issue with planning or pacing. Their haven't been confirmed filming spots for the movie but we are working on it as quickly as we can. When locations come to mind we mostly think of somewhere secluded. Since our mov...

 When it comes to having a back up plan, we had a few ideas if something stops us and how we as a group can prevent things like it. Let's say we couldn't film due to the rain or any other weather problems. We can try our best to reschedule and get everyone back together again to film. Or maybe change the location to make everything more easier for us. Backups and archiving, disaster recovery, and business continuity are the three components of an effective backup plan. Backups and archiving on a regular basis should be your first line of defense. When data is created or modified, it should be backed up on a regular basis. And we will keep this in mind if we have to consider one. Despite the fact that we might not need one it won't hurt to be safe than sorry. When it comes to safety of our team, that is what we will focus on the most. As we are going to be filming a horror film a horror film in public. A lot of action can be taken out of context. This would be the last thing...

  Within the opening scene of the film is an establishing shot. This establishing shot pans to the right and then tilts up to reveal the 2 characters. Both characters are seen in a medium shot to be in a conservation. As the scene continues the conservation becomes more heated and turns into an argument. The argument is shown through reverse shots which break once the MC runs off. As the MC is running we get an over the shoulder scene and a reveal of the SC chasing after her. As the chase is revealed suspenseful music begins to play softly. The MC begins to move faster in an eye level angle. As she runs the music gets louder and more intense. Then we get an angle of her hip and down to her foot that transitions into a low angel of her running. As she runs the camera tilts and close up on her face. The sound of her out of breath breathing begins to over power the music.  The music stops and we can only hear her breathing. This allows the sound of a tree branch breaking to be si...

  Mc-Main character Sc- Side character  Scene 1-(unclear voices can be heard) establishing shot showing grass and the camera slowly goes upwards to view the characters. Scene 2- (taking place on sidewalk, diegetic sound of cars driving past can be heard) Our main character is having an argument. Mc: I don’t even know why you are so mad? Sc: You can’t be that dumb to not understand, you told my mom that I wasn’t at your house when I told her I would be there.

I need to try and lose her. Mc: (Turns corner into grassy area) S...

 Now when entering the stage of creating a title design we have discussed the way we wished for things to be like. We did research on how title screens are made and best equipment would be needed to do so. I'm positive we can be able to do good with it, I do believe in Vanessa sills in editing. When doing research I found great advice on how a title screen should be made and I'll like to share some with you. With the advent of streaming technologies, skipping the title sequence and getting straight to the plot is now easier than ever. On Netflix, for example, all you have to do is hit the "Skip Intro" button and you're done. This might be discouraging for creators on the production side of things. After all, you devote a significant amount of effort in post-production to mixing audio, adding motion graphics, and polishing intro sequences. You want the audience to be engrossed and hooked right away, thinking to themselves, "Wow, that was a wonderful title sequ...
