Errors and solutions!

          Hello, today was our second day to film and get footage for our commercial! We revised all the footage we got last class and agreed that it wouldn't hurt to get more. We ran into a bit of trouble because many students were already filming outside and the atmosphere felt a bit crowded. This prompted us to film inside because it would be more convenient and blend well with our other footage. This was my second day acting, and it was definitely less nerve-racking this time around. My acting didn't feel as forced, but it was better because the scenes were shorter and less complex. My groupmates were helpful as always and encouraged me throughout the whole process. I was one of the main actors for this commercial, so I was still nervous about messing up. There were also students in the classroom, so we had to redo some shots a couple of times. By the middle of filming, we were getting kind of frustrated because there were a lot of outside disruptions. We had to sit down as a team to work through it, but we eventually wrapped everything up. All of our filming seemed to be complete, so all we had to do was pick the final shots and talk about our editing. We went over our storyboard to make sure it matched our footage, and once we felt happy with that we started picking out our footage. There is one person in our group who enjoys editing, so we gave him the role of compiling everything together. After that, we just talked about possible song choices for the video along with other tweaks that might have needed our input. The editing process is something we wanted to start and talk about more in-depth during our next class period. Although today was a challenging day, my group was able to pull through and get the job done. This was only possible because we maintained clear communication and expressed our concerns while filming. I am happy that we are done with this process because it was very time-consuming and draining at times. Let's hope for a smooth editing process, and a great commercial!

          Hello everyone, I am proud to announce that my commercial is officially complete! This has been such an amazing learning experience and I am so excited to share the final product. This project has helped me enhance a series of skills I did not think I needed to sharpen such as my creativity, flexibility, and communication skills. Throughout the entire process of creating this commercial, I had to adjust to things quickly and work efficiently. At times, all of the work that had to be done felt overwhelming but my team encouraged me and kept me motivated. I am grateful to my amazing group for helping me every step of the way and maintaining clear communication with each other. It was really cool to be able to witness the production process up close because it made me aware of small details that appear in the final product. I feel that the commercial came out really well because of our attention to detail and perfectionist tendencies. I feel that I can de...

Our Pitch Blog

A girl is one of few to survive the zombie apocalypse. She runs into another non-infected human and they have to get through together. Our first pitch is unique from the commonly chosen ideas. It would help in showing off creativity and originality. While also providing a well-thought-out and evolved finished project. Although the mis-en-scene would be difficult to accomplish for any of the scenes. Zombie make-up and attire would have to research, bought, and learned. Plus the fact that none of us leave in an area that would suit this project whether that be a woods or generally dark area. It emphasizes the idea that this girl is one of the few, which would force us to need backup actors to play the zombies. Not only would we have to find multiple actors for only a few scenes, but we would also have to work around their schedule and pay extra supplies for their make-up and costume. A girl has been living her day-to-day alone, or so she thinks. Our second pitch is about from stalker...

Film Review

 The project is almost finished after a month of filming, re-filming, and editing. We are relieved and thankful that this project is nearly completed. The entire process of creating the video was enjoyable for us. Although some aspects, such as filming, were more challenging. The initial planning, storyboarding, and filming, in our opinion, were the best parts of the entire endeavor. Everyone was allowed to express their innovative thoughts here, and we all knew what to do. The editing process, on the other hand, was not as simple. Unfortunately, only one of our team members was capable of editing and assembling the music video. The rest of us had no choice but to sit and watch what our groupmate were doing. It appears that certain scenes will need to be reshot. It will need to be altered, whether because of the length of the lighting. The transitions in the editing must be examined and re-examined. I'm sure there are other alternatives that would better suit the film's story....
