Starting the Final Task


Hi! My name is Esther Ariseloye, a sophomore attending Fort Lauderdale High School.

Fort Lauderdale High

For this project, I will be working with Isabel V. and Jose R. I chose to work with these two because of the Corona Virus Pandemic. It's more convenient to work with people I know rather than the other students, which I've never met or hardly know. I think working with someone is better than working alone in my opinion. Working alone would be a little more challenging for me because I don't have a strong creative process. I believe that working with other people would help when coming up with ideas for our film. I also think that more people just means more eyes to point out mistakes or factors of the film that needs improvements. Another reason is that I haven't been able to meet many people, other than my family,  since the pandemic started.

This film was an opportunity to change my setting and finally get outside of the house. This assignment makes up a huge percent of our grade, but even if it was a small part of our grade, I would do the best I could to make it look like the real thing. All of the projects we've worked on so far have been pretty interesting. They all made room for creativity and were not too difficult for those who were actually willing to put their best into them. However, I'm a lot more excited about this project. Not only do we have a bit of time to thoroughly plan out where when, and how we are going to execute our plan for the film. By the end of this process, I plan to have a film that I can look at and want to watch more of. I look forward to meeting with my group members to plan, and then finally filming our scenes for this film.

Filming Toyota Commercial Blog

  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

  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...
