I’m Back Again!

   Hey, it’s me Lola again. I’m so excited to be doing this final project. I had so much fun with the last two and this one sounds even better. I put in so much time and creativity into the last two projects and I want this one to be the best of them, by far. I’ve always loved watching movies and learning about the directors story behind them. I enjoy coming up with my own movie ideas for fun so, I can’t wait to get this project started. My editing is so much better as well since the beginning of this class. The new effects and transitions I’ve learned how to do will be cool to use in this project. I can’t wait to use those skills plus my creativity to make an awesome introduction to a movie. Anyway a little more to learn about me again is that I am extremely dedicated to soccer. We actually just won the district championship and are moving on to regionals. Even though it’s going to be tuff balancing school and soccer I’m so happy I get to be apart of both. I also am still working at a hostess at a restaurant. At times the job is very stressful but I’m definitely developing good skills and experience. School is also getting very stressful to keep up with lately. It’s getting close to testing season so teachers are cramming the finals chapters all into this chapter giving me a lot of homework. As difficult as it is keeping up with it I actually do quite enjoy school. I have luckily been doing a lot of traveling in the past few month. I got to go to Arizona, the Bahamas, and a few other cool stops through Florida. I love to travel and I hope to one day be able to travel the world so it was really nice to check some places off my list. My dream places are still Hawaii and Italy even though those trips might not happen for a long time.  Anyways that’s enough about me and my life. 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...
