Group Blog

Hey guys!

So, I managed to find a group to work with. I'm working with Angel Noreiga and Anya Lucas. They're both in my class period and grade, so we have time to talk to each other in class every day. Angel and I worked on previous assignments together, such as my commercial. I know Angel has a drive to make sure every shot is perfect. He has more experience with a camera than Anya and I combined. We chose to include Anya into our group in order to distribute the work more evenly and her editing abilities. As we're all juniors, we're all struggling to manage our school work. We're all taking AP tests and currently studying for the SAT. Because of that, we wanted to make sure the work was all as evenly distributed as possible. In terms of what I'm doing in this group, my artistic ability and equipment will be used to do storyboarding and editing/filming. Thanks to my dad being a photophile, I have a really nice Canon T6i Rebel that can be used for filming, in addition to our phones. My dad also has Adobe Premiere Pro, which we can use for editing. I'm honestly a little scared and apprehensive about working in a group. I've never done a project of this size, much less with two other people. What I'm most scared for is how we will communicate. With all of us being so busy, we're using class time to try and "carve out" some space from our schedule. I think I'm also going to find it hard to balance everyone's emotions. I tend to be a people pleaser, and when it comes to making a decision, I seem to back out instead of going with what I believe in. I'm hoping working in a group can help me learn to stand up for myself and my ideas while keeping me humble enough to be able to work with my groupmates effectively.



Until next time,
Danniella Miller

Short Film Research: Tangles and Knots

Short film description:     A sticky, intimate bond between mother and daughter becomes threatened when the mother helps her teenage daughter throw a party to impress new, popular friends. Sound: In the dialogue, there is no difference in how the mother and daughter speak to each other, speaking more like friends than mother and daughter. However, when the party starts, the mom begins interjecting herself into the daughter's conversations, teaching her how to take a jello shot and encouraging her to come into the pool. The added sound contributes to the setting, with dance music that helps bring the idea of it being a party altogether. This is made apparent when there is no dialogue and the daughter is just dancing, where all that can be heard is the music she's dancing to. There is no dialogue that needs to be understood or listened to, more so the viewer can focus on the daughter's awkward movements and how she feels in that moment. Mis-en-scene: The opening scenes work a...

Planning the storyboard for my Pentel commercial

First Scene: This will be the shot comparing other pens to Pentel pens. It will give the audience an idea of the kinds of things you can do with Pentel pens and why they're so much better. It will be a zoom shot. As the actor continues writing, the camera will zoom in to look at how the pen is acting on the paper. Second Scene: Here, the actor will take a highlighter to the generic pen and it will smudge everything up. This will be an extreme zoom. As the Pentel pens' inability to smudge and fast drying times are a huge part of their advertising, I wanted to include a shot that would compare Pentel pens to other pens. This will still be on the same desk as the first shot, but it will instead be an overhead shot truly focusing on the paper. Third Scene: It's well known how infuriating it can be to have a pen smudging up all your hard work, so I truly wanted to show that emotion here. The audience can empathize with our actor's struggle and want to help him find a better ...

Issues while Editing my Music Video

 So, since my last blog, quite a bit has happened. I managed to lose all my progress on my video. Now, let me explain. I was editing my video and decided to render it so I would be able to watch it without having to let it load. So, as I'm waiting for the video to render, a message pops up that my computer is about to die. Usually, I have a couple of minutes to plug it in, but it ended up dying right away and basically reset. I immediately plug my computer in and turn it back on. As I open up Premiere, my work on the music video was completely gone. I was completely shocked and upset. I started looking up how to recover my work because all that it said I had done was import my files into the program. All of the tedious editing to the lyrics was gone. I'm looking through every file on my computer, every possible place where it could be. The reason I hadn't saved a separate copy and knew where it was was due to the fact that I was relying on the auto-save feature, but I didn...
