second times the charm

The project idea of a music video seems easy enough when presented but finding the right group members can make or break your team. Luckily I already have a group from our last project. Since we worked so well last time we have decided to pair up again. And I am very excited to be working with them all.  For the music video, I along with Jacob Pineiro, Lucia Rodriguez, and Kia Lobann have decided to pull our heads together and work together once more. We've got to get to know each other and become great friends. We bond over a number of things and continue to learn about each other daily. Lucia, Jacob, and I are all in the school's marching band so we talk about that. We are all new to the media studies side of film you can say and want to do our best to pass the class and AICE exams. After knowing the basic level of what this class is and what to expect, I think it is making us more excited for our second project.

Our plan was to divide and conquer like we did on our last project, with everyone taking a significant role in the music video process. Kia will be the lead director in charge of filming shots that the actors will provide. Lucia and I once again will be the actors. I can only speak for myself at this moment but I feel with this being my second time being an actor, I feel more comfortable being shot for a great final product. To add effects or sound will be Jacob the editor. Pertaining to the other assignments due along with this project, like the storyboard, we will be assigned due to strengths. 

The group and I have decided to use the song "Good Days" by Sza for our music video. We chose it out of a list of around 7. The reason we chose it wasn't just because of SZA's amazing voice but because we can create a cool storyline. Good Days is a song where you can interpret however and we are going to bring that to life.

Our reviewed film!

After a month of shooting, re-filming, and editing, the project is almost complete. We're relieved and grateful that the project is almost finished. For us, the entire process of making the film was pleasant. Although some areas, such as filming, proved to be more difficulty. Our schedule gave us the most trouble because everyone was so busy. We fixed it in the end and it worked perfectly. The initial planning, storyboarding, and filming were, in our opinion, the most enjoyable aspects of the project. It gave us a lot of creative liberties and allowed for fun. Here, everyone was free to express their ideas, and we all knew what to do. The editing, on the other hand, was not as straightforward. Unfortunately, the video could only fully be edited and assembled by one of our team members. The rest of us couldn't help as much but observe and tried our best with what our groupmate was doing. A re-evaluation of the writing and storyboard will be needed but will come another time. Thi...

Genre research: Thriller

Image
Thriller is a genre that focuses on catching the audience's attention by inflicting suspense or anticipation. A commonly confused with the genre horror, the thriller genre is drastically different. While Horror focuses on scaring the audience and prioritizes the main confrontation as the climax thriller does otherwise. In the Thriller Genre, its main goal is to leave tension and leave the audience on edge. There are many camera angles used in the thriller genre. For example, the most common filming angles are closeups or extreme closeups, low and high angle shots, canted angle shots, wide shots, and more. What is en scene is used can drastically change a film. In thrillers typically low-level lighting, props, and little to no makeup are essential. This is to make the film more believable for the audience. To pair with believability and to add emotion when editing thriller films pacing is key. Knowing the right moment to use fast or slow pacing can change the feel of a scene. Recen...
