Production blog

Welcome back to my blog. I haven’t recorded since last time so this blog will be mainly about what happened at the mall. It wasn’t fair of me to not go into detail about what happened. Working with these ladies was fun the first time. Working with them this time was funnier since we had to act. Since we’re in a pandemic and have to wear make it helped cover up our mistakes a little. In some clips we started laughing and making faces but the fact we had to wear mask to stay safe saved the clips. Watching them stumble over lines and trying to ignore the camera made the experience so fun. None of us will be on Hollywood anytime soon. The mall wasn’t really packed yet it also felt as if everyone was walking in and out them doors. Which caused us to move from one entrance to a another one. For starters remembering lines to the T is way harder than it looks. Now I understand why most actors say their scenes were improvised during the movies. So the script and what we are saying won’t be exactly the same. However our lines will have the same effect since the lines are similar. We had to also improvise the clip of us walking. Even though it was writing in the story board thats not exactly how we planned on doing it . Everything else on the storyboard remained the same though. We worried that the sound wouldn’t be loud enough but turns out it was okay. We didn’t have to reshoot any videos. Now our biggest problems is hoping the clips are the right size. By size i mean length since it all needs to be two minutes long. We probably should of thought about that and planned it out before just filming. Our mis-en-cen also was also good. Our costumes made sense with the location. The location made sense and flowed with the script and the lighting also was great. Our props also matched and made sense. For starters our bags and phones in our hands made sense since we were at the mall and we needed to call Sydney. The mask was more of something that’s second nature in our lives now, we didn’t even have to plan to wear it. That’s all for today. Au revoir.

Genre research: All the Bright Places

  Welcome back to our next and final genre research movie. The movie we chose was All the Bright Places.     The first thing we noticed about the opening sequence was the location since they were on a bridge.     The viewers can automatically assume that the bridge has some meaning to one of the main characters since she was standing on it. We want our location to have importance to the opening scene. We want people to be able to guess that the location holds an importance but not exactly what’s going to happen just by seeing the location. Viewers don’t learn the true meaning of the location in the opening sequence however they do learn the meaning of it by the first 10 minutes. Since we’ll only be filming the opening scene we will show the true meaning at the end. The opening scene only was at one location. It did go by fast but however our video will need more time to make sure the point goes through properly. The Mise-en-Scene matched perfectly. The male main...

Research blog: Commercial

 Hey guys, I'm back with another blog. When I found out I had to do a commercial million of ideas came to mind. I than shortened the list to sport drinks, however, choosing which kind of sport drink was a no brainer. What better brand to do than Gatorade. Before starting my Gatorade commercial, I did some research on what other producer have done in sports drink commercials. Majority of the commercials the actors are partaking in physical activity.  The Mise-en-Scène in each commercial are very similar, the costumes consist of tennis shoes, leggings, tights, shorts, a sports bra, loose t-shirt, bathing suit or a sports teams uniform. The settings are sometime, inside of the gym, or outside on the court or field. Props are usually simple things like a ball, football, basketball etc. , a towel and the drink.  Based on the setting of the commercial, the lighting changes. The drink usually look real cold and icy. While the actor looks hot and sweaty. Some other conventio...

Genre research: Black Panther

  Welcome back to my blog. These next few blogs will be about movies my group and I chos e to research and use to build our opening scene on.   The first  movie we chose was Black Panther. The first thing that the audience  hears is a child and their parent voice.  The story turned out to be the  background  story  of where the dad is from Wakanda. Which  leads the movie to a sandbox  type  of thing that  demonstrated  and drawn out everything the dad was saying as he was saying it.  Once the story was done being told, the year and place of the Movie was displayed on the scree n, 1992  California.  During this  the audience can clearly see the relationship between the characters. Since when the king walked in the two people who were  previously in the room bowed down to him and had to hide their weapons.  The Mise-en- Scene  also made sense. The  two men  living in California wo...
