Fourth Production Blog - Re films and Mistakes!

 Hello everyone! Welcome to my fourth production blog! In this blog I'll be discussing today's production blog through my re films.

Last blog I had discussed that I went to
the gym to film my gym scenes. This unfortunately went quite wrong for a few reasons! My footage was clear, it was clean, and it met the amount of footage I needed. The unfortunate and key error I recognized was that the video was vertical! Unfortunately in film, vertical video cannot be used. This of course was quite disappointing at first but all is well. I still have ample time allotted to continue filming. In this instance I also appreciate the fact that I am primarily working by myself and can work on my own schedule. In the event I was working with others, I would have had to deal with ample amounts of accommodation to fix this issue. Rescheduling according to everyone's schedule, as well as transportation to my gym to keep the setting consistent would all have to be film components I would have had to re orchestrate. This issue was a quick fix fortunately. Since the gym is located in the proximity of my own home, I was able to easily just go and re film. I re-watched the previous footage to get everything exact. I also looked back at my script to get my necessary stage directions for the scene. I put on the exact clothes I wore in the footage from the previous filming day and got to work. The footage I captured this time was actually very pleasing. Another inconvenient, yet easily fixable issue I talked about in the previous blog was how filming and capturing certain shots and angles was difficult when filming on your own. To fix this I went to Five Below and purchased a cheap yet highly effective tripod! This made filing much more accessible and convenient for me which was nice! Overall I am very pleased with today's project progress and the film content, and more importantly, it was actually horizontal this time.

Group Blog

 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

 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, ...

Planning Blog

 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...
