Filming blog: after school 

On December 9th  we started recording. My group and I scheduled to record after school. I was only going to film so I didn’t have to come in any costume. The only problem with the day we choose was that it was a day I had a drama meet.  One of our team members didn’t show up so it was only the three of us. George, Juliana, and me. I couldn’t make it for first half of the recording because of the  drama meet so George and Julianna had to wing it. I was in charge of recording scenes for them since it was only the 3 of us and they were the stars of the show. I met up with them after the drama meet at Dairy Queen. We walked to an empanada place near the school and got food before I recorded a scene for them. I’m not the best at holding the camera still but I tried to keep it as steady as I could and made sure to get all the right angles we needed. When we finished eating we then all walked out and I recorded another scene of them walking together right outside the restaurant. I had to record all the clips we needed since this the only chance we got before one of our members left for vacation. so it was crucial all the clips were perfect. I made sure to take multiple clips of the same thing in case one of them came out wonky. At the end of the day I had almost all the scenes in my phone gallery. Unfortunately, I couldn’t continue filming more because on of our members had an event to go to. I continued to film until the very last moment until they left. Overall, I think the filming session was very successful. I not only got to film but I got eat and hang out with my friends a bit. This filming would have definitely been easier if our 4th member would have showed up to help but nevertheless, we pulled through regardless. The filming process took around 2 hours.There was only one minor issue with one of the videos. when I got home and checked on the recordings one of the videos had recorded in slomo  so I had to edit them to speed them up to the right speed.

Genre conventions blog: action

 The action genre is one where the main character is thrown through a series of obstacles such as physical feats, combats, and chases. Its subgenres include adventure and disaster among others. Common Camera Angles, Movements, and Shots: During emotional scenes, Extreme close-ups shots eye levels angles are common to show internal turmoil High angles and low angles are especially used to establish that clear good guy / bad guy convention that is common in action films. Extreme long shots will be used to establish the scenes and locations. Tracking, especially using a dolly, is common to follow fight scenes to create intensity in the movement. Common Mis-En-Sen:Often set in disheveled or clinically perfect settings; at one extreme or the otherThe lighting dims depending on emotion; darker if a negative emotion.Props :accurate to the time period and location, but often include weaponry such as guns, swords, etc. Actors and characters are often dirty or spotless, portraying a serious tone

 For this group project, I will be working with the team I have been working with since the beginning of the year. We are all in the  same grade and have been friends since last year. I am working with George, Julianna, and Jean. I choose to work with this team again because they have good work ethnics. They are all very hard working people and I am glad to be working with them for this project. I am extremely excited to be able to share this experience with them. They all have their own unique traits, they’re motivated to do the best they can and complete work as fast as they can. They  are good at problem solvers and get along well with each other. I’ve known all of them for about a year or so. We are working together but are in different classes. Jean and I take media 2nd period and George and Juliana are in 5th period. This hasn’t been much of an obstacle at all though, except sometimes for communication. We always get our work done on time though.There has been a few times however

 For our music video, my group decided to do a song called “Just The Two of Us” by Grover Washington Jr. and Bill Withers. As this song falls under the R&B genre, the targeted audience, at least in the modern age, is African-Americans (due to the history of R&B with that community), as well as the younger people of the world, mostly adolescents to young adults. - R&B music videos typically attempt to catch the audience sense of attraction. - Older R&B music videos showed men as sophisticated and charming, wearing suits, which attracted to the female audience. - Modern R&B music videos show men as attractive and strong. Most men in modern R&B are tattooed and shirtless, attracting most younger women and showing themselves as strong and wealthy. - The artists in modern R&B also have outfits which include, but aren’t limited to: no shirt, or some plain shirt, a strapped back hat, and some sort of dark pants. This gives the look of a stereotypical “person of col
