Surprise ! We all found a day we can actually meet!

Hey it’s me again. My group and I haven’t been able to meet up but our plan is set in stone to meet up tomorrow and film. I haven’t been able to meet up at all this week because of my soccer games and family things. Soccer lately has been my main priority making it hard to manage my time and meet with the other busy members of my group. My group wanted to film sometime next week however, I have three high school games that will take all night. Also midterms week is coming in hot so, I have to start studying for all of those. The only day I could film in the upcoming day’s is Friday so we decided that would be the best option. My friend is going to pick all of us up from school Friday and take us to our first place to film. I thought because my family is late with Christmas decorations this year we could film at another members home that is more decorated. My friend and I will be providing all the transportation to our filming spots which are going to be a festive house and Lauderdale by The Sea. We will also be bringing all the group members back home and to work after filming so we can all be there. The first few shots will take place in and outside of the car so, I want to make sure it looks as festive as possible. As we are using my car I am going to try to add props and make sure all of the actors are festively dressed to really represent the Christmas theme. I am also going to make the prop heart we need for the film. I will either use cardboard and construction paper or print out a heart onto card-stalk unless I think of something better. My job props wise was to provide the festive clothes for the main actor of the film. We were not able to find an actor that could make it on Friday so, I will be acting as the main character. I already got my sweater and everything ready except for the heart for film day! I am a bit scared to be the actor even though I acted in the last project. This project has a bigger task as I will be filmed in almost all of the scenes. As scary as it is I am a very high energy person and I think as the music video progresses I will be fine and be able to comfortably act. Anyways talk to you guys later peace out!

Creative Critical Reflection

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!

  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...
