We started the filming process!

 Hey I’m back! My group and I finally were able to meet up and figure out the roles we will be playing in the short film process. Since this short film will partially take place in a hospital setting, we are going to need to get a lot of props. I was put in charge of finding the hospital like props to heighten the reality of the short film. Luckily, I am very close friends with someone whose dad is an orthopedic surgeon. He said that he would help me get some hospital sheets and a few hospital like props that he finds lying around his office. This will greatly help the setting feel like a real hospital. Other props I am in charge of getting is shopping bags and glasses for the scenes that take place in the middle of the film. I am also the one whose car we are using in the initial car accident scene and whose car we are using to get to all of the other settings. I have already planned a vacant road to film the car accident scene on and made sure to follow every safety pro-caution there is.  My group mate Jack is the main actor in the film while my other group mate is another actor and the editor. I am more of the director and camera man. I am the one who has to bring the camera since I have one from filming my commercial and opening scene from last year. I do prefer using my iPhone camera instead sometimes as well so I will bring both. Not only has my group and I started to gather props we have also started our website. We have only set up the template for the website and started to set up the social media accounts to go on it. I also started to look for pictures to use on our website. It was a little weird at first since making a website is brand new to me. However, as I kept exploring and trying to things I started to figure things out and feel more comfortable making my website. My group and I are planning to meet up tomorrow to start filming. We are all super busy though so, we have a black up plan to meet another day this week if something falls through. Anyways I’ll see you next time, 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...
