Group Blog

 I am very excited to be working with my group on this project. Each member of the group brings something useful to the production of this commercial. Sarah, one of my members is good at time management and is very tech savvy. She will be extremely helpful with the editing and filming portion of the commercial. I have known her since middle school and have over time realized that she takes her work very seriously and strives for the best grade possible. Sabrina, another member of my group is extremely creative. Her ideas will assist in creating a unique way to advertise our chosen product. Sabrina and I have been friends ever since the first grade and she has always been so imaginative and creative. I trust her so much and I couldn’t imagine working with anyone else. The last member chosen to be in my group is Michaela. She is very artistic and loves to draw. These skills will aid in the formation of our storyboard pictures and also develop the artistic aspects of the commercial. Even though I just met Michaela this year I have seen that she is an amazing artist and her doodles are better then anything I could ever draw. I can also tell that she deeply cares for her grades so I trust her to do her part on time. My roll in the creation of this commercial is to help plan and create ideas for the project. I love to plan out things in lists which will be helpful as we start to design and film. We all instantly clicked and decided to be a group right when we found out about the project. I was especially excited to get to work with not only past friends from middle school but also new classmates. Each member of this group brings a critical part to the production of this project. We all have contributions to make and we all are very dedicated to this class and will put in the maximum effort to make the commercial as good as can be. With that said we all have much to learn as we continue to work on this project. For example, I need to work on my technological abilities when it comes to editing. I am so glad that I chose these group members and I can’t wait to film. Peace out!

Creative Critical Reflection

Image
My product challenged many conventions that are found in Christmas music videos. First , most Christmas music videos use snow or are filmed in a snowy area. As I filmed my video in Florida, there was no snow to incorporate in the video . Instead of snow I went a different route and filmed in front of decorated palm trees and showed my true Floridian Christmas spirit. Another way my product challenged the conventions was most Christmas music videos include back up dancers and all out costumes. My music video was completely the opposite of this as everyone was dressed festive but simpl e . T here were a lso only a few actors that told a story instead of having the commotion of dancing in the back. As my product challenged conventions it also used some as well. For example, many Christmas videos include bright lighting and festive accessories . I wore a Santa hat and a festive shirt and filmed the entire video around lit trees and decorated homes. Even though there were not as ...

Filmed The Opening Scene

Image
  Hey, it’s me again back at it. Finally, my group and I were able to start filming our short film. Due to our recent delay in filming due to weather we rescheduled filming to today. I had everyone meet at my house at 3:30 with all of the props we would need for the first few scenes. One everyone got to my house I drove everyone to the empty street in my neighborhood where we could film the opening car scene. I was directing and filming this scene as my group mate Jack drove the car. The first scene was slightly difficult to film for me. I had to film a panning shot of the car and it was hard to time my filming with my group mates driving. Instead I suggested we show a wide shot of the car to show he is driving. Then I thought we should have our group mate sitting inside the car with a POV shot of what he’s seeing while driving. This plan was much easier to film and it in the end looked much better. It didn’t take long to film the rest of the first few scenes. This is because most ...

Finally the group got together!

Image
  Hey, it’s me again back at it. My group and I were finally able to meet up and talk out some of the details of our project. The first thing I proposed we talked about was the props situation. I decided that I would buy fake blood and cob webs. I already have fake blood from Halloween at my house so, it was perfect. I also am going to get some old looking sheets to put over places in the setting to make it look a bit more haunted. We officially confirmed that our filming spot would be at my house unless something comes up. My house in under construction so it gives a sort of run down feel. There are also many open lots and construction going on near by. I will have to make sure that there is no debris and we are all safe before we film but I think the spot should be perfect. We have not fully decided on a date that we can all meet up. All of us are about to go on break so are schedules are packed. I am either working or out of town the whole break. The rest of my group mates are a...
