Music Video Planning Blog

 Based on the music videoes that I have watched and my song selection, I will be using my brothers for the filming process. in the song for the time I will be filming for, the artist talks about a seven-year-old and an 11-year-old. I will be using My youngest brother as the seven-year-old for the beginning scene. My other brother will be the "daddy" in the video but his back will be turned to the camera. This would make it so that it's not obvious that he is young. I will be putting my brother in my actual dad's clothing to make it obvious that he is playing the adult. 

Then I will switch to my other brother playing the 11-year-old for the last few scenes. In this scene, he will be talking to his "mother" who will be played by my sister. Her back will also be turned to the camera to hide that she isn't actually an adult. However, I might show the side of her face and give her a few accessories to make it easier to tell that she is the mother. Since my mom doesn't really have any obvious adult clothing, my sister will just be wearing one of her own dresses. I will give her my mom's glasses and just get her to seem like a mother figure. 

Those two scenes will take place inside of my house. There are a few scenes that I'm going to record outside just to match the lyrics of the song. those will be simple scenes of things like the sky or the neighborhood. There is a line in the song that talks about how they thought they were bigger than the world. For that line, I will be using a low angle to record people walking over the camera.

I will be filming over thanksgiving break because I don't really have any plans other than having dinner with my family.

Filming Toyota Commercial Blog

Image
  I started filming this blog on Friday, October 30th, 2020 when my mother and I went out. I figured that since we were taking the car, I could use that chance to film some of the interior features of the car that would be showcased. Because I needed my dad for most of the other shots, I waited till the weekend to continue the filming. That Sunday, on the 31st, I didn't have the chance to go out so I decided to film the 360 view of the car that would be used in the opening of the commercial. I used a long shot to show the entirety of the car exterior. I also filmed the scene that would come after the opening on that day. This scene was of my father putting a few things into the trunk of the car. On Sunday, my dad and I took a trip to the store. This was the perfect opportunity to film him getting into and starting the car. I used a mid-shot to a long shot for this scene because this shot was mainly just to introduce the car features and the whole body of the car didn't need to ...

Title Research: Glass

Art of the Title The opening sequence shows the production company in charge of the film. It shows the company that works with distributing the movie. Then it shows the title of the film. The film then starts to show the actors playing in the movie. The sequence then starts to name the people who helped cast the film, as well as the director. It showed who was in charge of music, costuming, editing, photography, then the producers.  The opening sequence starts off with a recap. this film is a sequel, so it begins by introducing the main character of the original. Later on, it introduces some of the other characters. It builds the moment by showing background events that lead to the appearance of the next potential main character.  The first clip of the man speaking to the girls can allow us to assume that the man has some sort of psychological disorder. The way he is acting all calm and friendly in this situation tells us that whatever his issue is will be part of the main plo...

Genre Research: Final Choice

Image
  Out of all three of the genres chosen, we decided to finally go with Drama. The reason for this choice is that a drama is simply more flexible than the others. There are so many aspects to a film that can make it be considered as a drama. On the other hand, Horror and Comedy have a big more restraint. When making a horror film, there has to be some element that “scares” the audience. Whether it is actually scary or not isn’t the point, but whether it creates a chilling atmosphere. It just didn’t really seem to fit into the prompt of our short film. We don’t want the audience to be too distracted by “not getting scared” to the point where they miss the message we are trying to send. Comedy was a little more close than horror, but again, it didn’t seem to match our story. The main purpose of comedic films is to have the audience laughing. Another, more subtle idea, would just be to have traces of humor throughout the film. However, why would we want to add comedy to a film that’s m...
