Rainy Day = A No Film Day

 Hey it’s me again! It’s probably no surprise that my groups filming was delayed. The horrible weather made it impossible to meet. Today we were supposed to start the filming process but due to the unforeseen weather interruptions we couldn’t meet. My parents along with my other group mates thought it would be unsafe for us to drive in the hurricane type weather to start filming. We were planning on filming the opening scene with takes place in the car so, this was definitely the safe call. I am upset since it was the one day we could all meet and we are all always so busy it’s hard to make time. Luckily we had a backup day planned just in case this happened. My group and I are now planning on filming a few days from now and the weather app looks great. You can never really trust Florida weather though! Even though filming was a bust, my group and I got some stuff done virtually over the phone. I FaceTimed everyone and started to work on the website a little more. I have set up a Instagram account for the film and linked it to the website. This was extremely difficult since I already have an Instagram account so it tried to connect them. It took some researching and a lot of time before I figured it out. I also started to write the information that will be presented all around the website like our bio. Not only have I worked on the website but I also started to work on gathering props. I called my friends dad and asked if we could use his doctors office to film in. This would make our short film much more realistic and we wouldn’t have to set a bedroom to look like a hospital. The props would also all be there making it easier to get them all. He isn’t sure if he can make it happen because it would be a bunch of kids filming around a doctors office. He does gave a private practice though so he said he would let me know it a few days if we were able to. The time works out fine since the hospital scene will be the last one we shoot so we can wait. Anyways that enough for today, 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...
