Sixth Production Blog - Film Review

 Hello everyone! Welcome to my seventh production blog! In this blog we'll be going over my film review.

The final task is finally here and film and production skills are truly being put to the test as of now! In the past week I have taken to film I indefinitely have faced some filming setbacks. Issues from vertical filming to bad lighting fixtures have occurred. Finally, I have gathered all my necessary filming scenes to my liking and to what I believe meets up to par with film professionalism. However my own judgement can be quite biased. Film reviews require honesty and an unbiased opinion on your work so I decided that I needed to have those who are separated from me and have no incentive to fabricate the truth on the quality of my film. I initially was going to send my footage to my co-star Samantha Fernandez, however she is ecstatic about this film so I felt there would be some potential bias she has. I then selected three friends I knew who were socially notorious for never sugar coating anything, my friends Isabel, David, and Dony. These three had zero incentive to coddle my feeling on my film and genuinely gave me constructive criticism. I wanted to not only use my film review to see if the quality of my footage was good, but also if a good storyline was being portrayed. To make sure of this, I sent all of the clips to my friends in in order. After having them watch the clips, I had them tell me what storyline they felt was being portrayed. The feedback I received on the story line content was that I should cut the FaceTime scene since it takes away from the opening sequence element. This was a pretty big thing since this was the only scene Samantha Fernandez was in and she was really excited unfortunately! I think I'll still give her a minor producer credit for compensation! Anyways, the film quality critique I received the most was to re-film one of the gym scenes. Since I filmed three scenes and two of them were on a treadmill, I accidentally filmed the third one on a separate treadmill making it kind of awkward. So, I set out to film the scene again and all was well.

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

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...
