Planning Blog: everything else!

 The main thing I want to talk about and plan out is the health and safety precautions I will be taking in the filming of my final task. Everyone involved in this project is living in the same house. Everyone except me is also fully vaccinated, which I am very thankful for. My mom, who is helping me film, is working from home and only goes out if absolutely necessary. My brother, who will be acting in the film, only goes out to work. We have done everything in our power to ensure we are staying safe and COVID free. I will be filming in three locations. The first one is the Broward Train Station, where the first 2-3 scenes will be shot. The majority of the film will be done in the parking lot of the Train Station and Bus Station. Finally, I will be filming around and in my house.  These locations are all fairly close to me, so if needed I can walk around and get several shots or different takes if needed. As for the schedule, this is what I have so far:

March 1-5: planning out, storyboard, scripts, titles.

March 6-12: research on editing styles and ways to use Premiere Pro.

March 13-15: first filming times.

March 16-19: editing of what has already been filmed.

March 22-28: second filming times.

March 29-31: review of film and notes on what is left to be filmed.

April 1-9: editing of film

April 10-11: last filming times unless more are needed, in order to get and scenes that were missing or need to be reshoot.

April 12-15: editing of film, finishing touches

April 16: final task is due.

Here is where most of the final task will be shot, in the Broward train station.



Until next time, Danniella Miller signing off. :)

Researching for my Music Video

Song: Tu by maye Genre: This song is categorized as latin pop. What that means is a song or artist that has significant Latin influences while still being significantly popular, combining aspects of Latin music with American pop music. Most Latin pop songs are in the languages of Spanish, Portuguese, English, or a mix of the three. Another thing that is widely found in Latin pop is a basic song structure or repeated choruses. Genre video examples: When looking at videos in the Latin pop genre, I noticed a lot of black and white imagery, giving the videos an antique and vintage feel. Another common occurrence was the use of empty stages with a plain color background. These allowed to singers and actors' clothes and actions to truly shine through without the distraction of a busy background. In maye's own video for Tu, there was a love story between the two main characters, which is also quite common to see. Relationships and love are a very popular and nearly universal feeling, ...

Filming my Pentel Commercial

 Today was the filming day of my commercial. My actor came over and we had to get right to work as we had limited time. There were a few circumstantial issues, such as the fact we were filming in the living room and we had to make sure none of my family members messed up the shot. Another issue was the lighting, as there wasn't sufficient lighting due to the constant raining and generally cloudy weather. We fixed this by taking longer shots and multiple takes, so if someone was in the background doing something that we could see we would take another shot until we got the perfect one. As for the lighting, we had to improvise by adding some lamps around the shot without breaking anything. When we got to filming we had originally planned to do a tracking shot as the actor walked up to look through some pens, but we realized it wouldn't be feasible with our current equipment. The filming process did end up being much faster than I had originally thought. This is the first time I...

Genre Research: Drama

 The Drama Genre: So in this powerpoint, I worked to analyze the genre of Drama. I went through common themes in the movies and what truly makes a movie a drama. A drama is categorized by being a movie with high stakes and several conflicts. Common lighting can include three point lighting, lowkey lighting, and high key lighting. Lighting is used to change thee feeling and the audience's understanding of a scene. Common camera angles include ducth angles, low angle, and high angle shots. These angles change the audience's perception of the movie and what's going on. It allows the audience to see the characters in a scene in a different light. it also gives the audience insight into the kind of person the character might me in a certain situation. For example, if in a verbal fight, a character is shot with a high angle, the audience gets to understand that that character is the superior in this situation. It can also help show change in characters. Going from a high angle in...
