Hey y'all! Today I started the production process for my music video. I knew that I needed some extra girls in my video based off the storyboard that I created. The first few scenes that I wanted to record preferably started in a local park. I decided to text some friends from church and my dance team to see who could be in it. A couple of girls agreed but it was hard to come up with dates and times that were comfortable enough for everyone. For this reason, I needed to come up with some new accessible ideas and people. I decided for choreography reasons to only have myself dancing. Now, I just wanted to use the the extra people for other aspects of my music video. Once I figured that out, I realized that if the people that I originally wanted could flake out on me, so can the original setting. This is why I went to the local park that I wanted to record and scoped out the scene. All of the areas of the park seem pretty empty during school hours and more lively on the weekends. I knew for choreography reasons it is best to record right after school since there are less people. Additionally, for scenery reasons it is best to record on the weekends since there is more going on. I started recording some long shots and wide shots of the basketball court. I decided to practice filming at this location to see where is the best spots to record. I took some close-up's and wide shots. I recorded from high, low and eye level angles at the basketball court. I really do not like all of these shots because of the lighting. I know tomorrow that I will probably try to rerecord. Right now I do not know what level I want the audience to see but I will see what looks better while editing the clips together. I hope you enjoyed the process because that is it for today!



Bye, Pookiees!

  Hey y'all! Today I will be analyzing and researching different title sequences for my final task. Title sequences are important for films because they set the tone for the film. These opening sequences usually set the mood that the director wants to convey to the audience. For this reason, I decided to research more on title sequences because this is very important and helpful. Instead of trying to watch a plethora of movies on different streaming platforms, I chose one website that can do it all. This website is called, "Art of the Title Website", and it allows myself to research different title sequences with ease. The 'Art of the Title Website' provides you with different genres, the website is free to use, and extremely easy to navigate. I decided from all of these reasons that this will be the website that I will be using to do my research. I can not wait to learn more about making a title sequence. Well, that is it for today!   Bye, Pookieess!

  Hey y'all! I have more information about my production process. Today the filming process was a lot harder than I thought. I was not able to record at one of the clubs that I attended but that was it. Now, my vision of revealing my busy life is starting to become more difficult than I imagined. However, I am going to keep advancing with my idea. My main goal for this production day was to take some relatable pictures for my commercial. First, I decided to take some pictures with my siblings. I snapped pictures with my siblings separately and together at a wide shot. The wide shot is a type of camera shot that completely shows a character or a group of characters within the frame. I decided to take wide and close up shots with my friends and other activities that I attended. I am not hundred percent certain on using all of these shots and pictures in my actual commercial. Which is why I can not wait to start editing to see the final results of my commercial. Additionally, I record...

  Hey y'all! Today I have decided to start my production process. I started planning out where and who I wanted to film with. Prior too, I knew that I wanted to film with my siblings and friends. My main focus was the type of angles and shots that I would record. During my planning and researching time, I created  some ideas to match my concept for this commercial. This commercial is supposed to display the chaotic perspective that I have of my life. Similar to a day in my life video. Which is why, I decided to record a tracking shot. The tracking shot follows a subject through a scene and reveals the scenery. One of the ideas that I decided to film, was myself running to class because I do not want to be tardy. I asked one of my friends to record me running or quickly walking to class. This scene was kind of hard to record since I actually did not want to be late to class. However, with filming this shot, I had to record multiple takes. My main desire for this shot was the ba...
