Switching the Group Up?

Don’t worry, the group didn’t totally break up we only had one member leave and a new one join. For this project I have decided to change my group slightly. My group mate Sarah decided she wanted to work with another group. So,I asked my new friend to work with me instead. I have chosen to work with Sabrina, Michaela, and Olivia. Olivia is the newest member we added to the group this time. Olivia just moved here from Turks and Caicos and is a teammate of mine on my soccer team. We hit it off right when we met each other and I knew right when she told me she had this class her and I would be group mates. Olivia is also really good with technology and loves to film. This skill is super important since we just lost our camera man. This also eliminates the stress of picking positions since she falls into the roll of the spot we were missing. I am also ecstatic about continuing working with my old group mates Sabrina and Michaela. Sabrina was very helpful creating ideas, gathering the props necessary, and making plans for both projects. This project is a larger task so, I feel that Sabrina’s skills will help us accomplish our needs faster and more efficiently. Michaela is extremely artistic while my group mates and I are not. This helped us design a realistic story board for both projects so far. I feel like this skill will be useful now more than ever as we have to create a much longer storyboard to go with this project. The more detail the better and Michaela is perfect for that. I chose this group even more so however, because we all get along. It is hard sometimes to find a group that all gets along and can work together effectively. Even though we have a new member joining us we all have similar interest and we are already all getting along smoothly. I also wanted to stick with Michaela and Sabrina because they were both hard workers that got everything in on time and did the work to help the group. I am so glad that I get the opportunity to work with a new member but also continue working with a few old group members too. I feel like my choice is group will turn out to be a positive one and the project will turn out moving along much smoother then it would be without this group. Anyways, 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...
