Plan of Action

 Hey guys, for this blog I'll be discussing our plans for the final task. More specifically, the schedule, location, health and safety, equipment, and possible participants. It'll be listed and then explained in the following paragraph.

 SCHEDULE:

-Shooting: DEC 13-15, 17-18, 22-23, JAN 4-6, 10-11, 17-19 

Back-up: DEC 22-23 JAN 10-14, 17-20

-Editing: week after shooting is done or during if we’re pressed on time

(January 21 through the 28)

     We plan to shoot in most of December starting our midterm week, from there we will try and film in intervals of about two days leading into January. We have some days that are marked for both initial shooting and back-up which will be mainly used as a review day to reshoot old scenes or follow into the next scenes.


LOCATION:

-Angel’s House

-Anya’s House 

-Danniella’s House (possibility)

-Outside Park (possibility)

-Office (possibility)

We plan on having our houses and only two easily accessible public spaces to shoot in. It's easier to use our own houses and change to match our setting. It's easier than finding a place to rent and shoot in and we agreed that it would be easier overall when it comes to transportation.


HEALTH AND SAFETY:

-Adults

-First Aid Kit

-Seatbelts

-Precautions

When it comes to Health and Safety we have our procedures from last year and because we have many more people working in our group that are minors we have more adults present in each location. Along with adults are participants will go over a set of rules to ensure safety and a first aid kit will be present at every location.



EQUIPMENT & PROPS (any possible props and costumes ahead of time)

-Camera

-Phone

-Tripod

-Mic (possibility)

-Car

-Costumes: black suits, dealer outfit, dresses/shirt and tie, makeup, ragged clothing

-Playing Cards

-Tables

-Decorations for set: liquor bottles, documents, envelopes, ashtrays, cigarettes, 

While this list isn't completed we have what we would consider the most important things that will be needed for this project. It is likely that we will need more things when we are starting to shoot that we haven't thought of yet. Then, we will get the items as needed.


PARTICIPANTS: 

-Anya Lucas

-Danniella Miller

-Angel Noriega


Angel’s Family & Friends:

Maryann

Michael 

Mom

Benjamin

Lucas (possibility)



Danniella’s friends and family:

Dad

Lana


Anya’s friends and family:

Mom

Track Team (possibility)


    This list isn't completed either because we aren't sure who can make it when needed for shooting and who else we need to add. These are the people we decided would be best for our cast and other people we can use as extra's. We added multiple people and groups from each candidate to keep our options broad and narrow down when we begin shooting. 



Here is me writing Anya and Angel's ideas out so we could have them all in one place.

Thanks for reading! Until next time, Danniella Miller.

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...
