New Music Video Project - Group Blog

 Hello everyone! Welcome to my second blog post of the music video project, my group blog!

In this project I will be breaking away from the previous duo of David and I. In this project I will be working in a trio with my two classmates/friends, Macaria Castillo and Sara Samuels. In this particular group I am excited to work with them. I have not worked with these two before but I am optimistic we will be able to productively and professionally collaborate to create a wonderful music video. Considering that my trio group consists of all of us being relatively good friends, the issue poses of us possibly not being able to stay on task, or the group butting heads because we disagree frequently. To combat these issues I plan to use the communication efforts I used with David on our commercial. To avoid constant disagreement David and I prioritized effective communication of our ideas and made sure to incorporate everyone's ideas to come to a fair consensus. Whenever we had an idea for a certain scene but our ideas were different from one another, we would re-imagine the scene to incorporate both of our ideas. This usage of collaboration made sure that no group member felt as though there weren't being heard or valued. To remain on task at all times along with properly managing the workload, following an organized production schedule helped along with communicating who handles what to fairly ration project workload. I know and have assessed the personality types and production styles of each of my group mates and we can and will work great together. So far with the minor brain storming we have done, we have been able to smoothly choose the song in our music video, along with the video sequence and format. The song chosen was Heather by Conan Grey. The brainstorming process went smoothly and I see this patter continuing on throughout the the production of this music video. Reflecting back on the commercial project, I it's very important to choose good, quality groups as the projects progress. As I am still a beginner to the production process, I recall the commercial being quite overwhelming with the workload and honestly if I didn't have such an amazing group the project may have been much more difficult. So as the projects go on throughout this course, they will only become more rigorous and requiring much more production so having strong, consistent, productive groups is key to succeeding. With that being said, I am confident I am participating in this project with a strong, productive, and professional group!

 Hello everyone, welcome to my second blog post, my Group Blog! For my upcoming project, I am choosing to take the route of working alone. Working in groups is not something that I am opposed to, however I want to take the time to evaluate myself and interpret the material before I branch out into collaborating with others. Through the process of curating my first Media Studies project, I want to take the solitude to truly take in the process of going from and creating my idea, to giving a treatment, to writing up my script and storyboard, to then making said film. I will say I do enjoy having creative freedom in the things I create which drives me to want to work solo. having the ability to use whatever idea that comes to my mind as well as having total control, within project guidelines of course, of what I create and how I go about editing, acting, or producing upon sound enticing to me. I will say that working alone does have its' downsides. When working alone you don't get...

Another Hiccup

Image
 Hi everyone! Welcome to my twelfth production blog. While things were going smoothly. Of course there was another hiccup. The big cheating scene I raved about completing, of course it was incorrect. Of the many errors in the scene I would accept such as noise in the background or people moving too much, I made the worst and most simple mistake. I shot the video vertically. honestly this has made me quite upset. As much fun as this film was, I am honestly so ready to move on from it. I love AICE Media and it’s been a fun two years taking the course but my oh my this film has been very consuming. Since today is Friday, I do have to wait almost a week to continue filming. Due to scheduling the only days designated to film were Tuesdays through Thursdays. Hopefully Elijah, Jasmine, and Laura can all make it. But it’ll all be okay. One thing I am reassuring myself of is that spring break is near so I’ll be able to utilize more than 3 hours 3 days a week to get things moving. Honestly, ...

 Hello everyone, welcome to my Planning Blog! In this blog the general commercial plan will be discussed for my Gatorade Protein Bar commercial partnered with David Brown! The general overview of the commercial is to portray our core athlete, David Brown, who will be a track star consuming the bar before he begins his sprint along the track. The commercial begins by a wide shot zooming in capturing David doing some stretches and setting up the track obstacles to prepare for his sprint. The next scene will cue to David eating the bar while looking victorious in the face getting ready to run the track. David then sets the bar down on a table and moves away. After this another wide shot scene will play out with David in his starting stance preparing to dash the track. The scene will continue with David dashing the track, and then the shot will zoom back on the bar with the Gatorade logo appearing in the screen. going For our costume, David's track uniform will be used along with his r...
