The filming continues!

Hi everyone, today is our second day of filming! Things progressed greatly during the last time and we are hoping for a productive day. As we were reviewing footage from the previous day, I realized that some scenes could be refilmed to improve quality. We were rushing to get all of the shots yesterday because we had a tight schedule which ultimately impacted the quality of our film. We were able to record about 50% of our film on the first filming day so our goal is to finish the rest today. Our schedule is a little more relaxed because everyone agreed to extend it to 2 hours longer. We pride ourselves on capturing small details and creating the best product for viewers. We were working through some errors in our script and realized we needed to edit some things and improvise while filming. When I wrote the script I was not thinking about how short the actual film was so I ended up writing too much dialogue. This was a simple fix seeing how I was an actor and could improvise as we went. The changes to the script were minor but they made all the difference because less dialogue helped highlight the actors. The weather at the park was more favorable today which helped us stay more accurate to the storyboard. There were fewer people at the park compared to the first filming day which put my nerves of acting in front of others at ease. My acting partner was having trouble improvising our lines during filming so I had to help her out a bit throughout the day. The biggest issue we had was getting steady shots because our tripod kept moving around. Upon further inspection, we realized that it was broken so we just filmed normally and added our own personal twists to make things look more interesting. As we were filming in my neighborhood a lot of cars kept passing by and getting in the way of some shots which was troublesome. Since our schedule was more relaxed today this was not a problem and we ended up waiting and filming the scene until we got it right. We successfully wrapped up our second day of filming and got all of the footage we needed. I am excited to put it all together and show our viewers the finished product!

          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....
