Genre Decision


 Our group has decided to do a action/romance genre. We have decided to combine both of these genres in order to get the best result. We chose action because it will be entertaining and will test out filming abilities. Action movies include many zooms, panning shots, and wide shots. We will have the chance to use these different types of shots to increase the action and suspense in our movie. This will be a new way of filming and it will be be difficult to hold the camera right and have good timing, but it will be a great achievement in the end.We have also included romance in our movie because we believe it will add to the storyline. We cannot fully cover action, with explosions, fire and gunshots, so it will be vital that we have some excitement from the romance. The romance drama will include many close up shots, these will be easy to film and will allow us to capture the actors emotions. Action is supposed to be exciting, and my group will be able to do this. We will film our cars going very fast and we will take notes from other action movies such as the fast and the furious. We will use dim lighting for the romance genre as seen in many other romance movies. We will include background music that will create suspense leading up to the main events. We will use costumes from both genres such as tuxes, and dresses, as well as button downs and jeans. We will also include props such as cool sunglasses, chocolate cigars, and bb guns. These props are seen throughout action movies in history and we will use them as well. We will also include props such as roses and jewelry commonly seen in romance genres. These props will be somewhat easy to acquire and are in our price range. Overall action and romance are the best genres for our skill set and we have the most interest them. Therefore we will be able to fully explore both genres to our best ability.

Editing Blog: Editing The Music Video

Image
 Today Allison and I edited together the music video! This was the final step to our music video process and marked an end to all of the work we had done. We used the app Imovie to put all of the scenes together, we did this in class and used Allison’s phone. We had previously recorded all of the clips on Allison’s phone so this was the most convenient option. I began adding the scenes to the app to have an outline of our video. Allison helped me crop the clips so that they would line up with the music perfectly. It was challenging making all the clips match up with the music perfectly and I did have some frustrations along the way. For some scenes I had trouble matching the lip syncing, but after a few tries I was able to make it look flawless! Creating a split screen for the phone call scene seemed impossible, but with some research and the help of my group mates I was able to create a split screen! Allison gave me many suggestions while editing and I greatly appreciated her help thr

Introducing My Group Mates!

 My group is very similar to the group I had for my previous music video, although there are some changes. We decided to add a new member to the group from a different class period, her name is Jade. My group now consists of me my good friend Allison, Darrow, and Jade. Allison and I have been friends since middle school and have worked together on many projects and assignments. On our last project Allison was very helpful and took on a lot of the responsibility she picked upon Darrow a few times and allowed us to film at her house. Without her we who knows what we would've done. Allison also helped me a lot when it came to filming, she gave me many ideas without forcing them upon me. We are able to work well together because we have a good relationship. Darrow is another friend that I have known since middle school. Darrow is not as reliable as Allison, although he is a good friend. Last project Darrow played the male role, and we will need him again to play another male leading ro

Lets Get Filming!

 Today we got lots of filming done! Yesterday was not as accomplished as we spent a lot of time trying to figure out the right place to film. But today we were able to all meet at one place at the same time ready to film. All of the actors quickly got dressed and I went to set up props again. Darrow's parents were not home this day so I had to set up the props by my lonesome without his Moms help. Luckily everything still looked perfect! Once everyone was dressed we had to continue with the scenes. I had the storyboard out and placed the actors where they needed to be. With the help of my friend Eva I would position the actors and she would look through the camera telling me left, right, forward, back, to get the perfect shot. We began filming where we left off, which was Giada aka Jade walking out the door after saying bye to her father. I had to go outside and film Jade walking through the door. I followed the storyboard very closely and made sure to capture the angles that I had
